Save money by transferring balances from higher interest rate credit cards. Here’s how:
- Fill out a balance transfer request through Online Banking.
- Transfer any amount up to your available credit line. (Note: Balance transfers from other USC Credit Union loans are not allowed. Transfers in the amount of any disputed purchase or charge may forfeit dispute rights.)
- Continue to pay other credit card companies until we notify you in writing of your balance transfer approval, at which point we’ll pay the card issuer directly.
