Hi There, I’m wondering if this BoQ card allows an applicant to transfer an overdraft from a bank account. If not, is this an option with any of the cards? Cheers, Christine
Hi Christine,
Did you not get my reply sent yesterday? Balance transfers to Bank of Queensland Credit Cards will not be accepted from an overdraft to a credit card account.
Please note that Citibank and Virgin do allow you to transfer from a personal loan or line of credit to a credit card, you may want to try one of those cards.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Jacob
Hi Jacob, I applied for a Virgin Money card based on the information you provided. Now Virgin Money is telling me I can’t transfer my overdraft to the new credit card. Where did you get your information from?
Hi Christine,
An overdraft is different from a personal loan or line of credit, which is where the confusion has arisen. I apologize for not making this distinction clear. The Virgin website says you can transfer a personal loan or a line of credit to a credit card. The information I provided in the previous question was only general advice and I was trying to give you a starting point for further research and comparison.
There’s no way of knowing whether an overdraft balance would have been accepted unless you supplied your account number and BSB to the Virgin team prior to applying. They enter the account details into their system to check whether the account can be included in a balance transfer. Only Virgin members of staff have access to this information. You still may be able to transfer the overdraft to a personal loan and then to this Virgin credit card, if a balance was not transferred at the time of application, Virgin balance transfer offers are available to cardholders for a month after they’ve applied for a new card.
Cheers,
Jacob
There seems to be a fairly thin line between the definition of ‘overdraft’ and ‘line of credit’. In any case, I was specific about transferring an overdraft. Are there any other financial institutions that I could run my account details past?
Hi Christine. With the exception of Citibank and Virgin, all other providers will only you to transfer from a credit card, store card or charge card. Jacob.
Hi Jacob, I didn’t see a reply come through yesterday. Thanks for the information. Cheers, Christine
What is the balance transfer limit?

I hope this helps.

Hi
Can you please tell me what the approval time, is for a credit card?
Thank you, Regards Lyn
Hi Lyn,
It generally takes about two weeks from application to receiving your card. Picking it up in the branch or waiting for it to arrive in the mail may affect the time it takes for you to get your card.
Thanks,
Jacob
