Who can get this card
Assumes you pay the balance down evenly across the 6-month promotional window, so the average outstanding balance is about half the transfer. Rates revert to 3.99% afterwards.
Simple interest on a constant balance — a plain-language upper bound rather than an amortisation schedule. Paying in full each month within the 25-day grace period avoids the interest entirely.
