How long does it take for a balance transfer to be processed?

If I transfer a balance from another credit card, will you automatically close that card?
No, it is up to you to close the account(s) from which you transfer a balance, if you choose.
How is interest calculated on balance transfers?
Interest paid on a balance transfer is calculated from the date of the balance transfer, much like a cash advance. This means even if you pay in full, you may see interest owed for your balance transfer if you are outside of the six-month introductory period.
