Unhappy No handling fee on balance transfers?

Anyone aware if any credit card in the land has failed to introduce this on their cards? I'm looking to transfer a balance to take advantage of a 0% interest period & it seems impossible to do this now without incuring at least a 2% charge ...

Please no holier than though "be like me I have £1M in the bank & will die a happy saver" comments, thanks!

I've been having the same problem. But spoke to my bank today, Natwest, and because I'm an existing customer they are giving me a credit card with 0% balance transfer for 9 months and no transfer fee.

Maybe worth calling your bank to see if they do the same?

Try all the usual comparison sites like www.moneyfacts.co.uk

I dont think theres many now that have 0% APR on balance transfers without a charge to transfer tho.

The days of easy money and endless debt seem to be starting to come to an end!

M&S card were doing it 6 weeks ago, although they state there is a handling fee, they did waive it for me.

Thanks all.

Looked at M&S, their website says that they may charge a handling fee ... we'll see!
