Top 3 – Best low-interest credit cards – May 2026

Here are our 3 best low-interest credit card offers:

CIBC Select Visa* Card

The CIBC Select Visa Card* is one of the best Visa credit cards in Canada for balance transfers.

With this exclusive digital offer for this CIBC balance transfer credit card, you get:

a 0% interest rate on balance transfers of at least $100, for up to 10 months
a refund of the annual fee for two years^†

You only pay a 1% balance transfer fee when transferring a balance from another credit card (balance transfer fees do not apply to Quebec residents). Once the promotional period ends, the card’s standard interest rate of 13.99% applies to any remaining balance. This interest rate is lower than those charged by many other credit cards.

For example, you could make large purchases on another credit card (such as renovations or furniture and appliance purchases) and then transfer the balance to the CIBC Select Visa Card to benefit from its 0% interest rate on balance transfers for 10 months.

CIBC Select Visa Card* cardholders can also save on gas through the card’s partnership with Journie Rewards, which allows them to save up to 10 cents per litre at participating gas stations.

The CIBC Select Visa Card* has a $29 annual fee (refunded for the first two years) and requires a minimum household income of $15,000 to qualify. With CIBC mobile banking and online banking services, you can easily track your credit limit and balance transfers from your phone or by signing in online.
