Browse Common Questions

  • The minimum amount you can transfer to your PSECU credit card is $250 through digital banking. There is no minimum when using a Visa® balance transfer check. The maximum you can transfer is the available credit limit on your credit card.
  • There is no limit to the number of balance transfers you can have on one card. However, there is a limit to the number of pending balance transfers you can have at one time. That limit is 10 pending balance transfers. Once a pending balance has cleared, you can exceed 10.

  • Yes. You're allowed to have multiple balance transfers from various promotions on your card as long as there are no more than 10 pending balance transfers on your card at one time and you have the available credit on your card. For example, if you transferred two balances in 2024 and received a promotional rate good through December 2025, you could still take advantage of this 2025 offer, which would be good through December 2025 on balance transfers made January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025. When you make a payment on your card, the oldest debt will be paid off first. You can visit your credit card agreement to confirm the order of payment.

  • Yes. In addition to paying off existing debt, you can use a Visa balance transfer to make a purchase or pay an individual. In digital banking, you can request to have Visa balance transfer checks sent to you (you can request three or six at a time). You can then write those checks as payable to a retailer or an individual. Additionally, you can log into digital banking and send a payment to a retailer or another person at any time by requesting a Visa balance transfer.

    Please note that Visa balance transfer checks cannot be made payable to yourself, cash, a joint owner on your account, or used to pay a PSECU loan. If you do utilize a Visa balance transfer check in one of these ways, you’ll be charged the regular balance transfer APR on the transaction.

  • A balance transfer will appear as: “Visa® Balance Transfer was mailed to [Payee Name] in the amount of [Amount].”

  • There is no grace period on balance transfers. Finance charges begin to accrue on the date the balance transfer transaction is posted to your account.

  • No. Visa balance transfers cannot be used to pay off any other PSECU loan.

  • There is no PSECU balance transfer fee. This is the case for your first balance transfer and any transfers made at a later date.
