Consolidate Debt with Us

Do you have a car loan with only six months left to pay? Have you charged a little too much on your higher interest card and you’ve got credit card debt to pay?

All balance transfers must be from an existing loan or credit card outside of DECU. Rates vary based on credit approval and could vary every six months after approval. Scroll down for a list of all terms, conditions, and fees for a Platinum Visa credit card.

What is Balance Transfer, anyway?

Our balance transfer program is the process of transferring debt from one credit card or loan to The Earthmover Visa Card. Not only does this allow you to minimize monthly interest rates, and pay more toward what you owe, it simplifies your financial life.

No more keeping track of multiple payment due dates. No more accrued late fees. This is a credit program made simple.

Complete the form below to transfer up to three credit card or loan balances to The Earthmover Visa. Here's how it works:

  • We will take your information and pay the other credit card or loan companies.
  • There is no fee and a low annual percentage rate.
  • Finance charges begin accruing the day your payoff is sent to your creditor. Continue making payments to your existing creditors until you confirm a $0 balance.

(Or if you prefer, you can call 1-800-542-6474 and give them all the same info over the phone.)

By choosing to submit this form, you are authorizing Decatur Earthmover to transfer the listed balances to your credit card at Decatur Earthmover Credit Union and are bound by the Terms and Conditions sent to you with your credit cards.
