Looking for a Smarter Way to Pay?

Make larger purchases now and potentially pay zero interest for the first 12 months.**

If you can pay your balance in full before the introductory period ends, every dollar you pay goes toward your purchase, not interest.

Great for:

  • Holiday shopping
  • Large planned expenses
  • Managing cash flow

Carrying a High-Interest Credit Card Balance?

Balance Transfers


You may be able to reduce the amount you’re paying in interest by transferring higher-rate balances from another card.

Consolidating balances could make repayment simpler and potentially save money over time.

For example, carrying a $5,000 balance at a 24% APR could cost significantly more in interest. Transfer your balance to AmeriCU and take advantage of our promotional balance-transfer APR.
