How to Apply for the Amalgamated Bank Visa Platinum Credit Card

The Amalgamated Bank Visa Platinum Credit Card is not a particularly flashy card. There is no rewards program attached to the card and the added benefits and perks are minimal. What might pique one’s interest is the potentially low APR of 10.49% and the 0% introductory APR. If your credit score is not very good, an APR as high as 21.49% could be applied to the account (APR is subject to change). It would be wise to find out where you stand credit-wise before applying for this card as 21.49% is not a very desirable rate. The 0% APR introductory period will be in place for the first 12 months after the account has been opened and will apply to purchases and balance transfers. Although this is a very ordinary credit card, the introductory period does provide an opportunity to transfer a balance over from a higher interest credit card in order to consolidate your debt. If you think the Amalgamated Bank Visa Platinum Credit Card is the right fit for your current financial situation, apply today by following our tutorial below.
