Balance Transfer
A balance transfer is when you shift all the debt you owe (aka the balance) on one credit card or loan at a higher interest rate – over to a different credit card at a lower interest rate. Some of these credit cards even offer an introductory offer of 0% APR for anywhere from 6 to 21 months.
