Why You Should Transfer Your Balance to a New Credit Card
A balance transfer is one of the best ways to manage high interest debt. You can use one or more credit cards with a low interest rate to pay off your debt faster and more efficiently.
At Rocky Mountain Law Enforcement Federal Credit Union, we understand that customers are balancing the uncertainty of the global pandemic and continued efforts to achieve financial stability and prosperity. Applying for a Platinum VISA Select and transferring your funds may be the best way to manage your finances.
RMLEFCU’s Platinum VISA Select has 6.75% APR* with no balance transfer fees, cash advance fees, or annual fees.
Do You Have a Repayment Plan?
Transferring your credit card debt is an excellent option for repaying debt faster, but you should always have a plan in place to properly manage various cards and fees. Given that RMLEFCU’s Platinum VISA Select plan involves no annual fees with the lowest percent APR* of all our VISA options, you have some flexibility with your banking options.
Still, make sure you have a plan to save up and repay your debt. It’s also important to recognize the habits that lead to the situation in the first place. Here are some tips to give your saving habits a kick start.
- Consider a balance transfer
- Pay more than the minimum

Utilize Online Banking Services
