UNFCU does not charge any fees for balance transfers, a transferred balance to a UNFCU VISA credit card account is treated as a cash advance and will
incur a finance charge beginning the date the transaction was posted to your account. UNFCU credit cards feature a 25-day grace period on payments for
purchase transactions. You should know that there is no grace period for balance transfers. You will lose the grace period for purchases if you transfer a balance
to a UNFCU credit card. The grace period on purchases will be reinstated only after you have repaid the entire balance transfer in full.
