Credit card interest rates aren’t all the same. If you carry a balance, or if you expect to take on debt that will take some time to pay off, you might want to consider a low-interest credit card. The savings could be substantial: while most regular credit cards charge around 20% in interest, the cards listed below offer rates that can be half that, or less.
