  • Balance Transfer
Introductory Fee of 3% of the amount of each transaction, for transactions made within 60 days of opening your account.

After that, your fee will be:
4% of the amount of each transaction.

  • Late Payment

How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called “average daily balance (including new purchases).”

Payments are allocated to posted balances. We will first allocate the amount of your payment equal to the Total Minimum Payment Due to any Custom Pay Plan Payment due, then to the lowest APR balances in turn. Payment amounts in excess of your Total Minimum Payment Due will be applied to balances with higher APRs before balances with lower APRs, and finally to any Custom Pay Plan balances.

Variable Rates are calculated by adding an index and a margin. The index is the highest U.S. Prime Rate published in The Wall Street Journal "Money Rates" section on each month's last publication day. As of 05/31/2025 the index was 7.5%. After your account is opened, changes to the index will cause a corresponding change to your variable rate.

Balance Transfers and certain Cash Advances, such as Direct Deposits, are made available to you at our discretion.

1 Bank Cash Advances include the following Cash Advance types: ATM, Over the Counter, Same-Day Online, Overdraft Protection and Cash Equivalent (foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers, travelers checks, or to obtain cash, each from a non-financial institution, or person-to-person money transfers, bets, lottery tickets purchased outside the United States, casino gaming chips, cryptocurrency to the extent accepted, or bail bonds).
2 The monthly fee will be disclosed at the time the Custom Pay Plan is created, will never exceed a monthly fee of 1.72%, and does not change over the life of the Plan. The fee will be charged monthly until the Plan balance is paid in full. The total of all Monthly Custom Pay Plan Fees billed for any specific Plan will not exceed the sum of the original Monthly Custom Pay Plan Fee times the original total number of monthly payments established for the Plan. The fee for each Custom Pay Plan is based on the Plan duration, the amount of Purchases assigned to the Plan, the APR that would otherwise apply to those Purchases, and other factors.
3 More Information about the Penalty Fee and Penalty APR
Penalty Fee: If your Total Minimum Payment Due is not received by your Payment Due Date, a Late Payment Fee of $29 will be assessed; $40 for subsequent occurrences that are within 6 billing cycles of a previous occurrence. However, the Late Payment Fee will not exceed the Total Minimum Payment Due. If your balance is $100 or less on the Payment Due Date, we will not assess a Late Payment Fee.
Penalty APR: Your Penalty APR will not exceed 29.99% on new transactions. There is no Penalty APR on existing balances.

Overdraft Protection. Transfers through our Balance Connect® for overdraft protection service to your eligible Bank of America deposit account from your credit card account will be Bank Cash Advances under your Credit Card Agreement. Transfers will be subject to the terms of both your Credit Card Agreement and the account agreement(s) and disclosures governing your Bank of America deposit account. Overdraft Protection transfers may not be available for up to 14 days from account opening. If you link your Bank of America deposit account to your credit card for Overdraft Protection, we will automatically transfer funds from your credit card account to cover overdrafts on your deposit account, as long as the portion of credit available for cash on your credit card account is sufficient and you are not in default under your Credit Card Agreement. Overdraft Protection transfers from a linked credit card will be made up to the amount required to cover the overdraft. The Overdraft Protection Cash Advance will accrue interest at the APR stated in your Credit Card Agreement, which may be greater than the rate charged for overdraft protection transfers from other eligible accounts to your deposit account. Overdraft Protection transfers incur interest charges from the transaction date. If the portion of credit available for cash on your credit card account is insufficient to cover the amount required by the overdraft, we may advance the funds even if it causes your credit card account to exceed your Cash Credit Line. Please see your Credit Card Agreement for additional details.
BALANCE TRANSFERS 
If the total amount you request exceeds your Total Credit Line, we may send full or partial payment to your creditors in the order you provide them to us. Allow at least 2 weeks from account opening for processing. Continue paying each creditor until the transfer appears as a credit. Balance Transfers incur interest charges from the transaction date. If you revolve your balance to take advantage of a promotional or introductory offer, all transactions and balances, including Purchases, will be charged interest. The Introductory Balance Transfer Fee is 3% for transactions made within 60 days of opening your account. After that, your Balance Transfer Fee is 4% of the amount of the transaction. If you have a dispute with a creditor and pay that balance by transferring it to your new account, you may lose certain dispute rights. Balance Transfers may not be used to pay off or pay down any account issued by Bank of America, N.A. or its affiliates.
