Ditch Your Debt And Get On With Life
Transferring a high-interest balance is like telling a credit card company what you really think of them. Not only do you get to take control of your money, you never have to deal with them again. And the best part? When you transfer your balance from another high-interest card to a Grow Visa® Preferred Credit Card, there’s no transfer fee, no cash advance fee, and no annual renewal fee.1 That’s right, your debt will actually start to go down right from the start.
Balance Transfer Benefits
If you’re stuck accumulating high interest, you might feel like you’re taking one step forward and two steps backward with each monthly payment. We want to help you ditch high-interest debt for good. Debt consolidation and interest reduction are two excellent pieces of a long-term debt-reduction strategy, and we’ve got a great option to help you with both.
With a Grow Visa Preferred Card, you can consolidate debt into one monthly payment with a low introductory APR of 1.99–4.99%. After six months, or if you do not qualify for an introductory rate, enjoy a low standard APR of 12.24%–17.99%, which is a variable rate, on purchases and balance transfers.1

Yes, you can make payments as frequently as you’d like, and many people do opt to send in an additional payment when they’re able as part of a debt-reduction strategy. Paying down balances aggressively is an excellent way to get out of debt quickly. You’ll want to note that sending in additional payments doesn’t change your next billing due date, though. It just helps you knock down your balance faster.
The time it takes to pay off your credit card depends on multiple variables, including your outstanding balance, your APR, what you choose to pay each month and whether you continue to use the card for new transactions. According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), you should always pay as much of your full credit card balance as you can.2 Paying only the monthly minimum will stretch your timeline to pay off, so we encourage you to pay as much toward your monthly bill as you can.
