Credit Card Balance Transfers
= Big Savings

Balance transfers are a great option for:

Paying down balances

from other higher interest credit cards or loans

Consolidating payments

from multiple balances to make a single monthly payment

Lowering your rate

on existing balances to help save money on interest

A balance transfer can be an effective way to pay down existing balances at a lower, more manageable rate. A 0% APR offer on a credit card can save money by having all of your payments go towards knocking down the principal balance instead of some going toward interest charges.

 

The DECU VISA Credit Card offers a 12-month balance transfer special at 0% APR—this can ultimately save you money if you pay down your balance before the promotional rate expires.

 

The DECU VISA Credit Card comes with some great benefits:

  • Big savings with our 0% APR Balance Transfer Special for 12-months
  • Rates start at just 11.90% APR* after the promotional period and are non-variable
  • No annual fee

  • Debt protection options available
  • Works with Google Pay™, Apple Pay™ and Samsung Pay™
  • Cards can be issued in branch on the same day they are needed
  • Conveniently make payments in real-time through DECU Online & Mobile Banking

Not all Credit Cards have great rates.
