Are financial goals in your 2020 vision? We can help. Consolidate debt to DECU’s Platinum Visa card for six months 0% introductory APR! If you don’t get it paid off within the six months, no sweat – our typical rates are great, too! After the six months, your APR will revert to your qualifying rate (7.9%-16.9%).
Do you have a car loan with only six months left to pay? Did you spend a little too much around Christmas time and you’ve got credit card debt to pay?
Transfer the balance on an existing loan or credit card to DECU’s Platinum Visa between January 15th and February 29th for six months of 0% introductory APR and no balance transfer fee!
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.
