Why a balance transfer could be right for you

Sometimes the smartest financial move isn’t opening something new—it’s putting your money in the right place. If you’re carrying a balance on a credit card from another financial institution or department store, it may be worth taking a closer look at where that balance lives.

Through May 15 , you can earn 3% cash back—up to $500—when you transfer a balance to a qualifying Mountain America credit card.* Depending on the card and your terms, that move may also place your balance at a lower interest rate.

Moving a balance can help you:

  • Gain more favorable terms or added value that are only available for a limited time.
  • Potentially move a balance to a lower interest rate.
  • Switch to an account with better benefits.
  • Simplify payments by bringing balances together in one place.
  • Consolidate balances from higher-rate credit cards or loans.
  • Create a clearer path for paying down an existing balance over time.

How To Move Your Balance
Same balance, new address—and a little thank you for the move.

  1. Find the balance Take a quick look at your wallet (or statement). Gather the credit card number, the card issuer’s information and the balance you’d like to move. Start with cards that have the highest rates.

  2. Give it a new home Transfer that balance to a qualifying Mountain America credit card through online banking or the mobile app before May 15, 2026.

  1. Pick up your bonus Earn 3% cash back on the amount transferred, up to $500.*
