No Fee Balance Transfer Credit Cards – 300+ Offers Now Available!

no

While a 0% APR balance transfer credit card may sound pretty hot, you might actually be better off with a “no fee balance transfer credit card” instead.

That’s right, there are balance transfer credit cards out there with no fee if you look hard enough.

No fee balance transfers used to be pretty common, but balance transfer arbitrage and a complete financial collapse have made them harder to come by.

Put simply, credit card issuers were getting “screwed” by savvy cardholders, so they started adding and upping balance transfer fees to ensure they didn’t get stuck holding the short end of the debt stick.

However, because competition among credit card issuers is so intense, they can’t help but try to one up each other with enticing offers that often seem too good to be true. That said, let’s look at the no fee balance transfer offers currently available.

Amazingly, I was able to compile a list of over 300 no fee balance transfer offers. Yes, you read that right, 300+! It wasn’t easy so I hope you find it worthwhile. Now go save some money!

Note: I listed the state(s) where the bank does business to help you narrow down your choices. If you know of an offer that isn’t listed below please let me know by leaving a comment.

Nationwide No Fee Balance Transfer Offers

American Express EveryDay Card – (nationwide) this no fee balance transfer credit card now offers 0% APR for 15 months with no balance transfer fee, assuming you make the request in the first 60 days!

Chase Slate No Fee Balance Transfer (nationwide) is the only way to get your hands on a balance transfer with no fee with Chase. For a limited time, get 0% APR for up to 15 months with $0 balance transfer fee! Act quickly before this offer expires! Amazing deal. Not only do you get 0% APR without a balance transfer fee, but you also get it for a full 15 months!

Discover it Balance Transfer (nationwide) – this targeted offer (seems to be any customer with a Discover it credit card and maybe other Discover cards) offers 4.99% APR for 18 months with a 0% transfer fee. While the APR isn’t set at 0%, the fee is $0, making it a good choice for some consumers looking to transfer a balance.

Discover® More Card – No Balance Transfer Fee (nationwide) – get 0% APR on balance transfers and purchases for 12 months with a $0 balance transfer fee! Discover recently re-launched this offer for the start of 2012. Don’t expect it to last long! (Offer expired!) This offer tends to come back around during the first quarter (January – March) of each year though I haven’t seen it recently.

Edward Jones World MasterCard (nationwide) – this credit card offers 0% APR for 12 months with no balance transfer fee if you complete the transfer within 30 days of account opening. The downside is that you need to apply in an Edward Jones branch, meaning you’ll be sold other retirement products along the way. Just withstand that assault and you’ll have yourself a no fee balance transfer. If you’re already a customer you can apply online via their website.

Farm Bureau Bank Rewards MasterCard (nationwide) offers a long 18 months of 2.99% APR on balance transfers with no annual fee and no balance transfer fee during the first 60 days after account opening date.

Navy Federal Go Rewards Visa (Armed Forces, DoD, Coast Guard or National Guard) – this credit union, which requires membership via a military background, offers a no fee balance transfer credit with 0% APR that lasts 12 months.

Penfed Defender American Express – comes with 4.99% promo APR for 12 months with no balance transfer fee. There is also a Visa version of the card if you prefer that instead.

Penfed Promise Visa (nationwide, can donate if no affiliation) – no balance transfer fee on this card but no 0% APR either. Instead, you’ll pay 4.99% APR for 12 months, which means you might be better off going with a standard balance transfer card with 0% APR and a 3% balance transfer fee. As always, do the math.

QuicksilverOne from Capital One (nationwide) – this card offers 0% APR for around nine months with no balance transfer fee. The hitch is that there’s an annual fee of $39, which can effectively act as a balance transfer fee. For example, if you transfer $1,300 you’d pay $39 if the balance transfer fee was the standard 3%. So if you transfer any less than $1,300 you’re better off going with a balance transfer card that charges you 3% without an annual fee and longer 0% APR. The good news is you can get approved with average credit.

So what is a no fee balance transfer credit card anyways?

Well, most credit card balance transfer offers come with an associated fee, which typically ranges from $5 to 5% of the balance transferred.

Credit card issuers charge balance transfer fees to ensure they make some money because a select group of savvy consumers transfer the debt and pay it off (or even transfer it again) before incurring any finance charges.

Let’s look at an example:

Credit card balance: $2,000
Balance transfer offer A: 0% APR, 5% balance transfer fee
Balance transfer offer B: 3.99% APR, no balance transfer fee

If you decided to go with balance transfer offer A, you’d be subject to a $100 balance transfer fee, but you wouldn’t pay any interest for say 12 months (this will vary based on different offers).

If you went with balance transfer offer B, you would avoid the balance transfer fee, but pay 3.99% APR for say the life of the balance (again, this could vary).

That’s up to $80 annually, or $6.65 per month in finance charges using simple math. If you chip away at that $2,000 balance during the year, the finance charges will be less.

So balance transfer offer B could actually be more beneficial than balance transfer offer A, assuming you plan to pay down the balance.

Of course, you may be able to get the best of both worlds if you do a little searching. There are still no fee balance transfer credit cards that offer 0% APR, you just need to do some digging.

Assuming you can’t find a no fee balance transfer credit card with 0% APR, you can always request that the balance transfer fee be waived. Credit card issuers are more willing to negotiate than you might think.

Either way, be sure to check this page often for any and all no fee balance transfer offers, as it is updated frequently!

  1. Sherman,

    True, but there are dozens or comparable offers available if you know where to look.

  2. Isaac,

    It may depend on the credit union, but generally yes you need to be/become a member, though that should be a simple and straightforward process with no cost.

  3. Chris,

    True, but it’s usually like $5-10 deposit in a free account that earns interest, so it could still be a great deal for those looking to transfer high APR credit card balances.

  4. Gene,

    Haven’t found any yet…I’ve stumbled upon some Hawaiian credit unions with balance transfer offers, but they charge a fee.

  5. Thank you for posting this. I was finally able to find a no fee balance transfer thanks to you!

  6. Thanks to you I was able to find a no fee offer with my local credit union! Just wanted to let you know!

  7. I’m trying to do the math on a no fee offer vs. a 0% APR offer. If I go with the no fee balance transfer offer that is 1.99% APR for 12 months, I’d pay around $40 on my $2,000 balance, right? Maybe (hopefully) less as I pay down my balance during that time. But if I just go with a 0% offer and pay the 3% balance transfer fee upfront, it’s $60 (guaranteed) and no interest for 12 months. That’s the idea right? Thank you.

  8. Jane,

    Bingo! This is exactly how you can save money, even if it seems inconsequential. It makes even more sense on larger balances. Say you transfer $5,000. You’d have to pay $150 upfront, or less than $100 if you went with the no fee offer at 1.99% APR. If you pay the balance down on the no fee offer you can get that interest amount even lower, which should be the goal.

  9. Thank You for the information. I applied to a CU in Illinois. Awaiting a response. Would love to have an 18 month offer or longer. Peace.
