Key Things to Know About a Wells Fargo Platinum Balance Transfer
The Wells Fargo Platinum card accepts balance transfers from other credit cards, along with loans and other lines of credit. The Wells Fargo Platinum card does not allow balance transfers from other Wells Fargo credit accounts.
If you're transferring a balance to a credit card with an introductory APR on balance transfers, try to pay off the balance before the introductory rate expires. Any balance remaining after that will accumulate interest daily at the card's regular APR. Using a balance transfer calculator can be a big help.
Finally, there is a fee of 3% intro for 120 days, then up to 5% (min $5) on Wells Fargo Active Cash balance transfers. Make sure to take this into account, too.
