Can any one reassure me about a balance transfer?

I got a new credit card in the post today, to transfer the balance of my old card onto it.

I’ve done the transfer, let’s say £1234.15, and had an email from the new credit card company to say it’s been approved and gone through.

My old credit card app still shows the same balance of £1234.15.

I triple checked the number, so I’m sure I haven’t made a mistake (although I’m spiralling and questioning myself).

Should it come out immediately? Am I panicking over nothing?

It’s too late to ring the helpline now but I will tomorrow.

Just hoping someone can set my mind at ease (and I haven’t somehow doubled my debt!).

In my experience, it can take up to 5 days so I wouldn't worry. It's a mystery why some things are instantaneous and others relatively 'slow'. Both usually to the paying customer's disadvantage 🤷‍♀️

DH did one recently and it took a few days, think it went over a weekend too. Do not fret!
