Visa Balance Transfer FAQs
Do I need to be a PSECU member before I can do a balance transfer?
Yes. We’re a member-owned credit union, so you have to be a member in order to have a credit card with us. You will then need to open a Classic or Founder’s Card. Your balance transfer will go to your chosen card. To keep things simple, you will automatically apply for PSECU membership within the Classic or Founder’s Card application.
Is there a minimum amount required for a balance transfer? A maximum?
The minimum transfer amount to your PSECU card is $250. The maximum amount you can transfer is the available credit limit on your credit card.
Can I transfer more than one balance to my PSECU card?
You can have up to 10 outstanding balance transfers on your card at one time. The total amount of your unpaid transfer requests can’t exceed the available credit on your card.
How will a balance transfer appear on my credit card statement?
The transaction will appear as: “Visa® Balance Transfer was mailed to [Payee Name] in the amount of [Amount].”
What’s the grace period for online balance transfers to my credit card account?
Sorry, but there’s no grace period on balance transfers. Finance charges begin to accrue on the date the balance from another card is posted to your account.
Can I use my PSECU credit cards to make mobile payments?
Absolutely. Both our Classic and Founder’s Cards work with Apple Pay®, Google Pay®, Samsung Pay™ and the PSECU Wallet (for Android devices).
Can I use the online Visa® Balance Transfer service to pay off PSECU loans?
No. Visa® Balance Transfers cannot be used to pay off any other PSECU loan.
