Most credit card providers look for ways to attract new customers. One method of doing this is to offer either a 0% introductory balance transfer rate or a lifetime balance transfer offer. While you can effectively remove the interest rate on your transferred balance for the offer period, the card provider hopes that you will stay and become a loyal customer in the long term.
Introductory 0% balance transfer offers tend to last between 6 and 12 months although, in some cases, it can be up to 15 months. After that period the rate will revert to a new APR. Because of this, it's worth checking to see what you might end up paying if you still have the outstanding balance and you stay with that card. A lifetime balance transfer gives you a permanently low rate until the balance is cleared.
