Visa® Prime Lock

Your interest rate stays low no matter what's going on in the world.


With this card, you're primed to save money on purchases

Global events can lead to sudden shifts in the economy - and that can send credit card rates skyrocketing. Avoid unpleasant surprises with a card that is based on the current Prime Rate - the benchmark figure used by lenders to set interest charges on loans. The Prime Rate is well below the rate charged by most credit cards, allowing you to save hundreds or thousands of dollars over the long run.

  • Make purchases online or at million of locations worldwide
  • 2.99% APR* introductory rate for the first six months
  • The long-term rate is equal to the current Prime Rate - as published in the Wall Street Journal - without added margins
  • There is a $50 annual fee with the Visa® Prime Lock account
  • No balance transfer fees or cash advance fees
  • No rate increases for late payments
  • No interest on purchases if entire balance is paid within 25-day grace period (Except cash advance – interest accrues from posting date)
  • Visa's Zero Liability policy means you're not responsible for unauthorized purchases
  • Breathe easier with Visa's 24/7 anti-fraud and ID theft protection
