Subject to available credit you can:

If you requested your balance transfer when you applied for your credit card, you need to activate your card before we can complete the transfer. You can activate your card using online banking. Not already registered for online banking? Head to sainsburysbank.co.uk/register. Once you’ve registered your card will automatically activate.

There are a few places that we can’t accept balance transfers from. This includes some credit and store cards, Sainsbury’s Bank credit cards, loan companies and bank accounts. All transfers are subject to our approval and we may need to call you for more information before proceeding.

Once approved, your balance transfer(s) should be received by the next working day, although it may take longer if we need to do further validation checks. Please continue to make payments to your existing card issuer(s) if required.

To register you’ll need:

• Your account details – so that’s your credit card number and expiry date.  For loans and savings it’s your account number and sort code.
• Your mobile phone – as we’ll send you a security code to confirm it’s you.
