Virgin Money launches longest 0% balance transfer credit card ever
Get 40 months interest-free on balance and money transfers with Virgin Money.
Virgin Money has launched a 40-month 0% balance transfer credit card, the longest interest-free period ever offered.
The Virgin 40 Month Balance Transfer Credit Card, which also offers 40 months interest-free on money transfers, is available until 9th September.
To celebrate Virgin’s history in music and the recent launch of the Sex Pistols credit card, the card has a ‘cassette tape’ design, which is now available on all other Virgin Money credit cards.
There’s a 2.99% balance transfer fee and one-off money transfer fee of 4%. Introductory rates apply to balance and money transfers made within first 60 days of account opening.

As you can see, Virgin is far and away the top of the table, though you will pay a premium for the extra four months of 0% interest in the form of a higher transfer fee than many of the cards with a 36-month interest-free period.
Shorter 0% periods are available, with even smaller transfer fees too. Find out more in The best 0% balance transfer credit cards.
