Balance Transfer Safety Check
Before you move your debt — check the card issuer you’re transferring to
A 0% balance transfer offer buys you breathing room. Transferring to an institution with a serious complaint record just moves your problem to a worse place. This check takes four seconds and tells you whether the issuer earns what they’re asking.
