Balance Transfer Credit Cards
Balance Transfer credit cards allow you to transfer your debts from an existing card to the new card with a much lower interest rate (often 0%) for a period of time.
This allows you to pay off your debt without the burden of accumulating interest on what you owe.
Remember...
- Don't only look at 0% balance transfer deals: sometimes low rate balance transfers are more realistic
- Do not spend on your balance transfer card
The only downside to transferring your debt to a balance transfer credit card is that there is often a small fee involved in transferring the debt to the new card, but this is often small change in comparison to the interest you are paying on the existing card.
