Is a Balance Transfer Right for Me?
A balance transfer can be an ideal solution if you’re struggling to pay off your loans or credit card debt, or if high interest rates are keeping you from making much of a dent in your overall balance — but what is a balance transfer exactly?
What Debts Can You Transfer to a Credit Card?
If you have debt and you want to consolidate it, you may have wondered whether you can make a balance transfer from a loan to a credit card. If you have a favorable interest rate on your card and a less-favorable rate on other debts you owe, such as a car or student loan, then it may make sense to explore options that would allow you to pay less interest over time.
What Are You Really Getting with 0% Interest?
Paying nothing in interest sure seems appealing. But if you’re fielding 0% credit card balance transfer offers or considering a 0% auto loan, be sure to do a deep dive into the particulars to make sure you don’t end up paying more in the long run.
Frequently Asked Questions
There is no limit to the number of balance transfers you can have on one card. However, there is a limit to the number of pending balance transfers you can have at one time. That limit is 10 pending balance transfers. Once a pending balance has cleared, you can exceed 10.
Yes. You're allowed to have multiple balance transfers from various promotions on your card, as long as there are no more than 10 pending balance transfers on your card at one time and you have the available credit on your card. For example, if you transferred two balances in 2022 and received a promotional rate good through December 2023, you could still take advantage of this 2023 offer, which would be good through December 2024. When you make a payment on your card, the oldest debt will be paid off first. You can visit your credit card agreement to confirm the order of payment.
Yes. In addition to paying off existing debt, you can use a Visa balance transfer to make a purchase or pay an individual. In digital banking, you can request to have Visa balance transfer checks sent to you (you can request three or six at a time). You can then write those checks as payable to a retailer or an individual. Additionally, you can log into digital banking and send a payment to a retailer or another person at any time by requesting a Visa balance transfer.
Please note that Visa balance transfer checks cannot be made payable to yourself, cash, a joint owner on your account, or used to pay a PSECU loan. If you do utilize a Visa balance transfer check in one of these ways, you’ll be charged the regular balance transfer APR on the transaction.
A balance transfer will appear as: “Visa® Balance Transfer was mailed to [Payee Name] in the amount of [Amount].”
There is no grace period on balance transfers. Finance charges begin to accrue on the date the balance transfer transaction is posted to your account.
No. Visa balance transfers cannot be used to pay off any other PSECU loan.
There is no PSECU balance transfer fee. This is the case for your first balance transfer and any transfers made at a later date.
