Hi Yee Liang, yes that works. Since you are not paying interest, it is like no cost to you.
However, the zero interest is short term (12 months). So it is hard to ensure return in stocks in such a short period.

yes, i used that before. dont forget to ask about their service charge eventhough zero interest. My experience, i used balance transfer for a year with zero cost , but they charge me up front RM200 for service fee for that balance transfer.
