Impact of Transferring Balances

Transferring balances from one credit card to another to take advantage of promotional interest rates can be a good money management tool. However, this doesn't usually benefit your credit score. Your overall outstanding balance will remain the same. Potential creditors may view the shuffling as a sign that you are under financial stress. If you can pay off the balance rather than transfer it, that is best.
