What is Balance Transfer? | Updated

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.

The following are some of the *balance transfer programs available:

Banks	Balance Transfer Rates	Balance Transfer Tenure
Maybank	0% per month	12 months
CIMB Bank	0% per rmonth	6 months
Hong Leong	0.5 % per month	6 months
