Lower Your Rate: No-Fee Balance Transfer at Forrit CU!

Aug. 2, 2024

Hey there, savvy saver! Are you tired of juggling high-interest credit card payments? Dreaming of a financial fresh start without those pesky extra fees? Well, buckle up because Forrit Credit Union has got just the thing for you: a no-fee balance transfer to a lower rate credit card!

Why Consider a Balance Transfer?

Picture this: You’re paying 20% interest on your current credit card. Ouch, right? Now imagine switching to a card with a significantly lower rate. Suddenly, you’re saving big bucks every month on interest alone. Those savings can go towards paying off your principal faster, treating yourself, or boosting your savings. Sounds awesome, doesn’t it?

No Fees? Seriously?!

Yep, you heard it right. At Forrit Credit Union, we believe in keeping things simple and beneficial for our members. Many big banks charge a fee—usually around 3%—to transfer your balance. But we think that’s a raw deal. With us, there are no sneaky fees lurking around the corner. What you see is what you get: a straightforward way to save more money.

How Does It Work?

Transferring your balance is as easy as pie. Here’s a quick rundown:

  1. Apply for a Forrit Credit Union credit card: If you don’t already have one of our awesome low-rate credit cards, now’s the perfect time to apply.
  2. Transfer your balance: Once you’re approved, let us know which balances you want to transfer. We’ll handle the rest!
  3. Enjoy the savings: With a lower interest rate and no transfer fees, you’ll start saving money right away.

Benefits Galore!

  1. Lower Interest Rates: This means less of your hard-earned cash going towards interest and more staying in your pocket.
  2. No Transfer Fees: Many places hit you with a fee just to move your money around. Not us!
  3. Simplified Payments: Managing one card with a lower rate is way easier than keeping track of multiple high-interest cards.
  4. Potential Credit Score Boost: A lower balance and consistent payments can positively impact your credit score.

 Tips for Success

  • Pay More Than the Minimum: Even with a lower rate, paying more than the minimum can help you get out of debt faster.
  • Avoid New Debt: Try not to rack up new charges while you’re paying off your balance transfer.
  • Set Up Auto-Pay: Never miss a payment by setting up automatic payments. It’s a simple way to stay on track.
