balance transfer

So... how do balance transfers actually work?

Do you have a balance on a credit card or loan from another bank, and you’re being charged interest on it? You might choose to transfer that balance to take advantage of a 0% interest rate offer elsewhere. That means you won’t pay any interest on the balance you transferred for a certain amount of time.

Keep in mind that it’s only the balance you transferred that has no interest fees – anything else you buy with your new credit card is subject to the interest rate of the card you’ve chosen. 

And a hot tip: pay off the balance you transferred before the end of the 0% period to avoid a Cash Advance interest rate.
