Smartness plays a very important role when dealing with credit cards especially when debt keeps on mounting making it impossible for you to pay off the due amount. This is more worrysome because non-payment of the due amount hurts your credit score and along with higher interest which further increases the due amount every month. In such a situation one of the best recommended solutions is transferring the outstanding balance to another credit card. This process is known as balance transfer. And this repayment option is used across the world especially in western countries as it saves money as interest rate offered on credit cards is less compared to the rates charged over existing card.

Many issuers in India offer credit card balance transfer facility and their main intention to do this to attract new customers.
