    Hi,

    0% balance transfer is a good thing because you will save on the interest as you said.

    Often they are only 0% for up to 3 years, but it sounds like will have paid it off much sooner than that anyway.

    It's not usually possible to balance transfer within the same banking group, so you will have to open an account with a different banking group. This can be done online easily.

    Martin Lewis has a good comparison page for all credit cards, just select 0% from the dropdown list.
