You will get a managers cheque against the other bank’s credit card number for the amount of balance transfer requested. Customers can present this check to clear the outstanding amount with the other bank.

If you fail to pay installments for two consecutive months, your plan will be automatically foreclosed. The entire outstanding Balance Transfer amount will immediately be due for payment in full. Any remaining outstanding balance will attract our regular finance charges.

You should settle all your active plans before you close your credit card. Else your credit card closure request will be rejected.

Please chat with us to prepay the amount in full, so that the agent can process the foreclosure request appropriately. If you prepay without chatting with us the plan will remain active even after full payment. So please ensure you inform an agent about the prepayment and the foreclosure request

9. Can I make a Balance Transfer if the card is not activated?

You can not activate the balance transfer before activating the card.
