MBNA Rate For Life
A new type of card from MBNA that gives you a promotional rate on balance transfers from other cards and money transfers to your current account - 5.9% for the life of the transferred balances. The MBNA Rate for Life card has typical rate of 16.9% variable with 2% handling fee for balances transferred in the first 60 days, 3% thereafter (4% for money transfers) Rather than giving you a 0% deal for a short period of time, you can transfer your balance to the MBNA Rate for Life card and pay off the balance over a longer period with a reasonable rate of interest, just 5.9%
