0% balance transfer credit cards

Many credit card companies offer interest free introductory periods on balance transfers, so you can transfer your debt and pay 0% interest for up to two years.

Many credit card providers charge a fee for transferring your balance - usually between 1% and 3% of your balance.

0% interest on purchases

Purchase credit cards offer rates of 0% on purchases and tend to last anywhere between three months and over a year. These cards can be a great way to spread the cost of an expensive purchase.

Once the introductory period ends, it's likely you'll be hit with a high interest rate, so make you're able to clear the debt before the 0% period is up.

Pay your balance on time and you will have a 0% credit card

Technically there is no such thing as a 0% credit card, but you can avoid paying interest by paying your credit card balance off in full before the due date. All credit cards offer an interest free period on purchases, which lasts up to 56 days, depending on the provider.

Check out the interest free period for purchases on the card you are interested in and make sure you pay your balance in full before the due date to avoid interest.
