Your 2022 To-Do Checklist

Transferring your credit card balance is a great move to make at the start of a new year.

Reasons to transfer a balance:

  • Save money with a lower rate
  • Take a break from paying interest1

Transferring your balance can be a good financial decision and can help you manage your money.

Reasons to transfer your balance to NWCU:

  • We have several credit card options that can work for you or your business
  • Lots of digital ways to manage your card
  • No limit to the number of transfers you can make
  • 0% APR¹ for six months on balance transfers completed between January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2022.² After the promotional 0% APR is over, your APR will return to the range communicated during signup. Variable interest rates range from 6.25% - 17.25% APR.

If you’re a current member that already has a credit card, you can request a balance transfer through eBanking and the credit card portal following these steps:

  1. Log into eBanking at NWCU.com or using your app
  2. Select Menu and then Card Services
  3. Select Credit Card Services
  4. Choose the credit card you want to transfer a balance to
  5. Click or tap Services and then Balance Transfer

Next, you'll see the Balance Transfer screen. In order to transfer a balance, you'll need to complete this form. Note: The form states that your request must be for a minimum of $1.00, but the 0% APR special requires a $500 balance minimum. So if you transfer less than $500, your transfer won't be eligible for the 0% APR.
