Take advantage of our 0% 

Balance Transfer Special

Credit Card balance transfers are a great option for:

Paying down balances

from other higher interest credit cards or loans

Consolidating payments

from multiple accounts to one single monthly payment

Lowering your rate

on existing balances to help save money on interest

A balance transfer can be an effective way to pay down existing balances at a lower, more manageable rate.

 

Now, Loyal Members can take advantage of a 0% Balance Transfer special to move your money over from higher interest rate cards to save even more money (a 4% Balance Transfer fee applies to those not qualifying). To earn the 0% loyalty discount, you need to have a DECU checking with at least $1,000 in direct deposit and at least 10 debit card transactions per month. 

 

Plus, the DECU VISA Credit Card special of 0% APR special for 12-months can save you even more money by having all of your payments go towards knocking down the principal balance instead of some going toward interest charges.
