Balance Transfer FAQ
A balance transfer is when you apply for a new credit card with a lower rate and then transfer your balance from another existing credit card to take advantage of the lower rate offer. This can help you pay off the debt faster by allowing more of your payments to go towards the principal balance instead of interest charges.
A balance transfer can be a good option when you’re carrying a balance on a high-interest credit card. It’s important to do your research and see if the new credit card offers the following:
- A low introductory rate.
- Little to no balance transfer fee.
- An introductory period long enough to allow you pay off the balance before the interest starts accruing.
Opening any new loan account will cause a drop in your credit score, however opening a new credit card usually only results in a slight drop in your score. As long as you make your payments on time and keep your balance from being maxed out, your score will go back up.
Keep in mind that if you continue to open multiple low-interest accounts while maintaining high debt levels, you can potentially be viewed as a risk to lenders which can make it difficult to borrow down the road.
