BOQ Low Rate Visa Credit Card
Highlights
Get 0% p.a. on balance transfers for 18 months, but keep in mind a 2% transfer fee applies, and unpaid balances will mean interest on new purchases. After the promo, the rate reverts to 21.99% p.a. On the plus side, everyday spending gets a low 13.99% p.a. rate, and you’ll enjoy up to 55 interest-free days on purchases. A decent option for cutting interest, but best suited if you can clear the balance before the revert rate kicks in.
