After you’re approved for a balance transfer credit card, you’ll need to contact the credit card company online or by phone to initiate the transfer. Be sure you’re ready to provide the name of the credit card company from which you’re transferring the balance, the account number and the amount you want to transfer.
Once you request a balance transfer, it could take up to three weeks to complete.
It’s important to note, you should remain current on your existing credit card payments until you receive confirmation that your transfer has been completed.
