Chase does not offer debt consolidation loans, or personal loans for any purpose. However, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to consolidate debt with Chase. Chase has two debt consolidation options: balance transfer credit cards and home equity lines of credit.
Ways to consolidate debt with Chase:
- Balance transfer credit card. Chase offers one of the best balance transfer cards on the market, Chase Slate. For a full breakdown, check out WalletHub’s complete Chase Slate review. In addition, Chase Freedom and Freedom Unlimited are also good options. The two Freedom cards offer excellent rewards as well.
- Home equity line of credit. A HELOC works like a credit card in that you can borrow money up to a certain amount (based on the value of your home minus your mortgage balance) whenever you want. But you are never obligated to borrow. A HELOC is secured by your home, so Chase could foreclose on you if you can’t pay back the money you borrow. APRs on Chase HELOCs range from 5.75% to 8.39%.
The advantage of using a balance transfer card for debt consolidation with Chase is that you get a 0% APR to start. If your debts are small enough, you may be able to pay them off before the regular APR kicks in. However, depending on what credit limit you get, you may not be able to consolidate all the debts that you’d like to. On Chase Slate, the balance transfers can’t exceed your credit limit (minimum of $500) or $15,000, whichever is smaller.
HELOCs have the risk of using your home as collateral, but they offer extremely low interest rates for debt consolidation. Exactly how much you can borrow depends on how much equity you have. Chase provides a calculator on their website to help customers see how much they could save with a HELOC.
