A balance transfer lets customers transfer high-rate balances to a card with a lower APR, saving money on finance charges. Many balance transfer cards offer a zero-percent introductory APR that will remain in effect as long as payments are made on time, which can save card holders hundreds of dollars over the course of a year.
