What is Balance Transfer? (Credit Cards in Malaysia)
A balance transfer allows you to transfer the ‘credit card balance’ that you owe in one bank to the other bank. This service allows you to reduce the interest (17.5% per year) that you are paying the banks to as low as 0% for 3 months. However, please take note that the ‘0% for 3 months’ will expire after three months and the interest will return to 17.5% per year.
