How to Apply for the Animal Friends Visa Credit Card

Another of UMB’s animal-themed charity credit cards, the Animal Friends Visa Credit Card allows cardholders to give back by donating a small portion of each expenditure to the Animal Friends. The card is otherwise extremely standard, with an annual interest rate of 14.49% to 18.49%, depending on your creditworthiness (APR is subject to change), and no annual fee. There is no rewards program offered with this credit card and the only bonus to look forward to is the 0% introductory APR for 12 billing cycles on balances transferred within the first 60 days of card membership. If you can look past the bare bones features, and if you have an interest in aiding Animal Friends in their cause, look to our guide below to learn how you can apply.
