Balance Transfer Credit Cards

Balance Transfer Credit Cards are designed to allow a customer to consolidate his or her credit card debt onto one card, which in turn saves the customer money on interest. Similar to Low Interest Credit Cards, Bank Transfer Cards often offer a low introductory APR. Many cards offer no annual fee and are now offering online management or account access. Any person with multiple Credit Cards with a revolving balance should consider a Balance Transfer Credit Card, in essence the card pays the balances on all your other cards which allows you to make one easy monthly payment, not multiple payments to multiple companies. Forgetting one credit card payment can be very costly, a Balance Transfer Credit Card eliminates that stressful possibility.

Balance Transfer Credit Cards are ideal for relieving credit card debt or simply saving money on interest. Some cards will even offer sign up bonuses. Discover offers cash back bonuses on their Balance Transfer Credit Cards as well as other banks. Balance Transfer Credit Cards function as regular credit cards as well, allowing for purchases, which can be rewarded with airline miles or points.

Again many of these cards require good to excellent credit because of the high balance amounts. The 0% introductory rates of these cards makes them ideal for Credit Card arbitrage when paired with a High-Yield Savings Account. After the introductory period, typically 12 months, an average %%%interest rate%%% (some cards are higher, some are lower) of 10.99% is applied to the Credit Card. When shopping for a Bank Transfer Card it is important to search for a card that offers a good introductory period as well as a good APR after this time.
