A balance transfer can be a good option if you’re carrying high-interest credit card debt and want to focus on paying it down faster. Everyone’s situation is different, so reviewing your goals and payment plan can help you decide if it’s the right move.
You can request a credit limit increase from Arkansas Federal. Limit increase requests are subject to review and approval, and your available credit may vary based on eligibility.
Most balance transfers are processed within 1–3 business days once your request is submitted and approved. Timing can vary depending on the amount, verification needs, and how the transfer is delivered.
A balance transfer may impact your credit in a few ways. In the short term, a new request or higher balance can affect your score. Over time, paying down high-interest debt and making on-time payments can help improve your credit. As always, late payments or keeping a high balance can negatively impact your score.
The amount you can transfer depends on your available credit limit and eligibility. If approved, you’ll be able to request a balance transfer up to the amount you qualify for under your card’s terms.
The 0% APR applies to eligible balance transfers only. Purchases made with your card are subject to the standard purchase APR outlined in your card agreement.
If any balance remains after the 18-month 0% APR period ends, the remaining balance will be subject to the standard variable APR.1
From cash back to secure, and even business cards, we’ve got you covered.
0% balance transfers for 18 months.This offer is effective March 13, 2026, through July 31, 2026, or within 30 days of account opening, whichever is later. 0% introductory APR for 18 billing cycles applies to eligible balance transfers made to your Arkansas Federal Credit Union World credit card. This promotional offer is available for a limited time. Eligible balance transfers must be from non–Arkansas Federal Credit Union creditors and must be requested within the promotional period. Members may make multiple balance transfers during the promotion period. Each eligible balance transfer will receive 0% introductory APR for 18 billing cycles from the date the transfer is posted to the account. Balance transfer requests cannot exceed your available credit limit. Balance transfers are subject to credit approval and available credit limits. Unless otherwise stipulated by underwriting, once the balance transfer request is approved, the balance transfer amount will be deposited into the Arkansas Federal checking or savings account they select, and the member is responsible for paying off the balance with the other creditor. Balance transfers do not earn rewards, including the 2.00% cash back available on purchases. A balance transfer fee of 3.00% of the total amount transferred applies. New purchases are not eligible for the promotional APR and will accrue interest at the standard variable APR, which currently ranges from 14.49% to 18.00%, based on creditworthiness and market conditions related to the Prime Rate. After the 18 billing cycles, any transferred balance not paid in full will accrue interest at the standard variable APR. If the account becomes 60 or more days past due, Arkansas Federal reserves the right to end the promotional APR and begin charging interest at the standard variable APR. There is no annual fee; however, late payment fees may reach $40. A cash advance fee of 3.00% per transaction also applies, and interest on cash advances will be charged at the standard APR from the transaction date. All loans, including credit cards, are subject to credit approval, and restrictions may apply. For complete card details, please refer to the Full Credit Card Account Agreement and Disclosures. Membership with Arkansas Federal Credit Union is required.
