citibank BT rates r very high ( 11.99% for 12 months)

Public bank rates r good now

1. 0% for 6 months or the other good option longer term

2. BT for pb is 5% for 2 years (comes to like 2.5% per yr) very good deal


The only prob us my PB CL is low... so i cant transfer much....

Those with CIMB cc, can waive the fees? saw the gold cimb but they have consition like certain rm of transcations only can waive the fee

I checked with CIMB staff at Pavilion, its 0% interest BT is a real 0%. That means you only need to pay minimum every month and settle in full in the 6th month. I would say it is the best BT in the market.

for citibank, they have a good offer for BALANCE CONVERSION

you can convert your existing balance of your citibank cc at 9.88% pa interest
this is good option to split the payments into installments max 3 years. can less the burden.

I know CIMB does not accept BT from another bank.
I am not sure about PBB. CIMB normally takes 7 days to approve and transfer the amount.
The fax number is stated clearly on the BT application form. doh.gif

winner,
what do u mean by I know CIMB does not accept BT from another bank.

balance transfer is suppose to be from other bank



for pb 0% balance transfer, can we just pay the min without the interest charged?
because Pb CC does no have a seperate BT statement and its divided into installments

very very confusing here

PB Balance transfer, we have to pay the full installments every month

CIMB balance transfer, can just pay min 5% and still enjoy the 0% interest for 6 months
