Debt is a fact of American life, but FGCU can help you to successfully manage it. Below are 5 tips to set you on the path towards a debt-free future:

  1. Automate as much as possible

Automation takes all the thinking out of debt payment, because the money automatically debits from your account. This makes it harder to overspend, because the money is disbursed immediately. Here is an easy way to automate with FGCU – It’sMe247 Online Banking. This can be accessed through our website or by using our Mobile App.

  • Pay off the smallest balance first

Pay down the smallest balance while paying the minimum payments on the rest of your accounts. Once that account is paid off, add that amount to the next smallest balance, and so on! Keep going until all your accounts are paid in full!

  • Use credit card rewards/points to pay down the balance

Rather than cashing out points on a gift card or transferring the rewards balance into a bank account, many rewards programs will allow points to be applied towards the credit card balance. Using this feature will considerably accelerate how fast you can pay down your debt!

  • Search for credit cards with the best interest rates available, Like the FGCU VISA

Credit cards with lower interest rates mean that more money goes to the principal when a payment is made. This saves you money on interest and slows the growth on your credit card balance. If you stop spending on the account and keep paying your bills, you’ll pay the debt down faster! If you have a high balance on a card with interest, try to find a zero fee balance transfer offer like the FGCU VISA. Divide your total balance into manageable monthly payments to help pay down the debt and try not to use the card. If at all possible, don’t even carry the card with you.

  • Consider a debt management plan

A lesser known way of paying down credit card debt is to establish a debt management plan. You can create one by working with a licensed non-profit counseling organization. Those organizations contact your creditors to work out debt repayment terms, and they can usually negotiate lower interest rates and get late and over-limit fees waived. Debt management plans provide structure to consolidate debt payments. Plans typically save a lot of money and pay off debts within five years or less!
