A balance transfer is the transfer of (part of) the balance (either money or credit) in an account to another account, often held at another institution. It is most commonly used when describing a credit card balance transfer.

How it works

Balance transfer allows people to move their debts such as credit card balances, student loans, home loan medical bills, car loans to a zero or lower interest rate credit card for a promotional or limited period. The overall amount and the types of balances you can transfer depends on your credit card as well as your credit score. Moreover, balance transfer should be done as per the timings allocated by the credit card company.

While many credit card issuers offer 0% interest balance transfers, it is important to note that some issuers also charge a transfer fee, which could range from 0-5%. As a result, consumers should evaluate the balance transfer interest rate during the promotional period, the length of the promotional period, and the balance transfer fee when deciding on which balance transfer promotion is best.
