Halifax, part of Lloyds Banking Group, has rolled out a new low rate all-purpose credit card that charges 6.45% interest on both purchases and balance transfers.

The new card features no annual charge and provides fee-free balance transfers for the first 90 days.

The card, which is available online, will charge a 3% fee on every balance transfer made after the first 90 days.

Based on a typical spend of £2,000 on a card charging 18.9%, the low interest rate card would mean that customers are potentially better off by £571 over a period of 36 months.

With this card, at least 51% of customers will receive a representative rate of 6.4% annual percentage Rate (APR), while others will get a rate of 10.9% or 14.9%.
