Hi,

Can I use credit card balance transfer to
pay my CC debt?

I would like to pay my CC debt of 4k and cancel it.
Don't want to use CC anymore.

Sorry for asking this, I'm not well versed in banking.

Balance transfer is transfer of debt, so instead of owing to your original bank A you now owe to bank B.

Its advantageous to you because bank B probably will give you a period of low/no interest (normaly 6 months 0% interest I think) which gives you more time to pay. But this will require you to apply bank B credit card.

If you have RM4k on hand no need, just pay it off and cancel your card. Otherwise take a balance transfer and you'll have more time to pay. No matter what need to pay, of course*.

if you plan not to use any cc anymore, then just pay off your cc debt in cash.
if you do balance transfer, you are just transferring your debt from bank a to bank b.
meaning that you will still be using a cc (just that the cc is now from bank b rather than bank a).

if let's say i want to pay off my total cc debt in cash
and short in cash, is there any other alternative?

whats use of balance transfer if in the end i end up with another credit card?
i just don't understand rclxub.gif
