Low Interest Credit Cards

Low interest cards focus on a lower ongoing APR rather than rewards. If you sometimes carry a balance from month to month, the regular purchase APR will usually affect your costs more than any rewards program. Credit union cards often appear in this category.

What to look for

  • Regular purchase APR: the ongoing variable rate matters more than an introductory offer if you revolve a balance.
  • APR range: the rate you receive within the range depends on your creditworthiness.
  • Membership requirements: many credit union cards require you to join the credit union first.
