What is a low interest rate credit card?

A low rate credit card is a type of credit card that has a low interest rate on purchases. This could help you save money if you don’t pay off your credit card balance in full each month.

Low interest rate credit cards are generally ‘no frills’ and may not include rewards programs, perks and bonuses that premium cards may offer.

Pros and cons of low rate credit cards

Here are some of the potential pros and cons of low rate credit cards:

Potential advantages of using a low rate credit card:

  • You will pay less interest compared to a higher rate card.
  • Some low rate cards may also come with low fees, which could help you save on ongoing costs.

Potential disadvantages of using a low rate credit card:

  • Low rate cards generally do not offer rewards programs.
  • Low rate cards typically also do not offer other features and perks, such as complimentary travel insurance.

How to compare low rate credit cards?

When searching for a low rate credit card, there are a a few factors that could be worth keeping in mind, including:

  • Purchase rate: Look for a low purchase rate. If your card has a 0% purchase rate or low purchase rate for an introductory period, check what the revert rate is.
  • Interest-free days: This is the maximum number of days that you won’t pay interest on new purchases, provided you pay off your closing balance in full each month. So you may want to look for a card with a long interest-free period to give you more time to repay your purchases.
  • Fees: Check the fees, including annual fees, late payment fees, balance transfer fees, cash advance fees and international transaction fees.
  • Features: Check whether the card offers any features such as rewards programs or complimentary insurances.
