Low-interest credit cards can save you thousands of dollars every year. Credit card debt is the most expensive debt next to payday loans. The annual percentage rate (APRs) on credit cards can be as high as 30 percent. Our advice is to pay your balance in full each month. If you cannot afford to pay the balance off each month, which most of us can’t, you need to snag the credit card with the lowest possible APR. Below is our list of the six best low-interest credit cards:
PENFED PROMISE VISA® CARD
FMC Notes. Penfed Promise Visa Card is one of the least expensive credit cards on the market. The variable APR will be 11.74% – 17.99 %, based on your creditworthiness. Because this card is from a credit union, you might need to be a member to apply for it.
Annual Fee. No Annual Fee
Pricing. 4.99% promotional balance transfer rate for 12 Months on transfers made between January 1, 2019 – March 31, 2019. After that, the APR for the unpaid balance and any new balance transfers will be 11.74% to 17.99% based on your creditworthiness and will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate. This transaction is subject to credit approval
Credit. You need “Excellent, Good” credit to get approved- https://www.penfed.org/credit-cards/promise-visa-card
CITI SIMPLICITY® CARD
FMC Notes. Citi Simplicity Card does not have the lowest APR on our list, but it’s on the top of the list of its long 0% introductory APR for 21 months from the date of first transfer. All transfers must be completed in the first four months. You have nearly two years to pay a transferred amount with no interest. After that, the variable APR will be 16.24-26.24%, based on your creditworthiness.

You can earn up to 5% cashback at different places each quarter like gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants, Amazon.com, and more.
