Low interest credit cards

If you sometimes carry a balance from month to month, a low interest card keeps the cost of that balance down with a low ongoing purchase rate.

  • Low ongoing rate on balances you carry
  • Predictable, easy-to-manage costs
  • Usually low or modest annual fees

When a low rate beats rewards

Rewards points are only worth chasing if you pay your balance in full. The moment you carry a balance, interest usually erases the value of any points, so a low rate matters far more than an earn rate.

If you're carrying existing debt right now, a balance transfer card can give you a 0% runway to clear it before you settle into a low-rate card for the long term.

Low interest credit card FAQs
