A perfect alternative to getting a small loan. Enables you to transfer a credit card purchase of €250 or more at a great low rate of 6.7% variable (6.9% Annual Percentage Rate). Spreads the cost of the purchase as you pay it off in 6, 12 or 24 equal monthly instalments meaning you won’t have to pay full amount off at the next payment day.
