1. Check your current balance and interest rate
The goal of a successful balance transfer is typically to lower your interest rate so that you are more easily able to pay off your debt. It is important to know what your rate currently is to see if a balance transfer would be useful.
2. Pick a balance transfer card that fits your needs
Most cards have added benefits like cash-back or redeemable points like our Rewards First Platinum Visa card. Get the most out of your money!
3. Apply for the card to see what you qualify for
Once you have found a card that you would like, apply online or over the phone with one of our representatives to see what you qualify for! If the rate you qualify for is lower than your current rate, it may be beneficial to go through with the balance transfer.
4. Contact the provider to process the balance transfer
If you choose to go with one of our cards, you can contact us over the phone or in-person at one of our branch offices to authorize the balance transfer process. Our representatives are ready and available to help you throughout the entire process!
