{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What counts as a low APR credit card in 2026?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A \"low APR\" card is one whose ongoing variable APR sits well below the national average. Federal Reserve G.19 data puts that average for accounts assessed interest at roughly 22.15%. Cards advertising a low end below 16% qualify in our view, with the very best (typically credit union products) starting under 12% for excellent-credit applicants."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What credit score do I need to actually get a low APR card?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Most major-bank low APR cards require good credit (a FICO Score of 690 or higher). To land at the bottom of an issuer's advertised APR range you generally need very good or excellent credit (740+). Below 670, look at credit union cards and secured products while you build score; see our credit score guide for the full picture."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is a 0% intro APR the same as a low ongoing APR?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No, and confusing them is the most common mistake on this topic. A 0% intro APR is a promotional rate that applies for a fixed window (typically 12 to 21 months) and then reverts to a much higher ongoing rate. A low ongoing APR is the rate that applies permanently. If you'll clear the balance inside the intro window, an intro card usually wins; if you'll carry a balance longer, the ongoing rate matters far more."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How should I compare credit card interest rates fairly?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Compare the ongoing variable APR range, not the headline marketing number. Note where in that range your credit profile is likely to land (most applicants are not at the bottom). Then add any annual fee and any balance transfer fee on a one-time basis, and look at the post-intro APR if there is an intro period. Our comparison table and the interest cost calculator on this page handle the maths automatically."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Will my low APR change over time?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Almost certainly. Nearly all consumer credit cards in the US carry a variable APR set as the prime rate plus an issuer margin. When the Federal Reserve changes its target federal funds rate, the prime rate moves within a few weeks and your card APR follows. The CARD Act of 2009 protects you from rate increases on existing balances except in narrow circumstances, but the rate on new purchases will change."}}]}
