How can I use a balance transfer to consolidate my debt?
|
|
If you have one or more credit cards with a high balance and a high-interest rate, you may be struggling to keep up with your monthly payments and pay down your balance.
A balance transfer lets you transfer one or more of your credit card balances from another credit card issuer to a new low rate credit card, often with a 0% introductory APR* for a certain number of months. You then have fewer monthly payments and more of your payment will go to paying down your balance instead of going to interest charges.
Tips for doing a credit card balance transfer:
- Get pre-approved to make sure you will qualify for a lower credit card interest rate than you have with your existing cards from other lenders.
- Make sure there is no balance transfer fee – otherwise, the savings you make through lower rates may be eaten up by the fee. We don't charge a balance transfer fee.
- Check the introductory APR offer and try to pay off all or most of your transferred balance during that time. We offer a 0% intro APR for 12 months.
- Check the APR you will get after the intro period. We offer competitive rates on new purchases and balance transfers after 12 months, starting at 15.49%.
- Try to avoid using your new credit card to make new purchases so you don't add to your existing debt.
- Avoid using your old credit cards – otherwise you will simply have one more credit card to pay off instead of having fewer cards and payments.
Consider keeping your old accounts open with a zero balance to boost your credit score.
