Low Rate Credit Cards - Many consumers continue to pay much higher rates of interest for spending on their credit cards than they need to. By simply changing to a different provider they are likely save a significant amount of money each year in interest. People who have stayed loyal to their bank and never changed their credit card are more than likely being charged excessive rates of interest. With lower standard rates and introductory 0% offers for purchases and balance transfers available, now is the time to switch to a low rate credit card. It's never been easier to switch deals, and there is a wide choice on offer.

Balance Transfer Credit Cards - If you've got a credit card with a large balance carried over each month, it would be worth considering moving the debt to minimise interest chanrges. Several credit card issuers now offer 0% interest on credit card balance transfers. The 0% interest period usually lasts from around 6-12 months. This can provide you some welcome breathing space in which to pay off your debt without accruing interest. However, be aware that the interest rate reverts to the current standard variable rate when this period ends. In some cases, this rate can be excessive. Look into the standard variable rate before taking out the offer and consider whether you are likely to pay off the majority of the debt withing the 0% time period.

There are now some cards offering low rates for the lifetime of the balance. It may not be as good as 0% but if you are unlikely to clear the debt in the 0% time period, you are probable better to go for a card which offers a low rate until the balance is completely cleared.
