Review

First Citizens Smart Option Visa Card is a simple credit card with reasonable APR rates and no annual fee. Balance transfer and cash advance fee rates are very good in the card. However Cash Advance APR is a little bit high. There are not also much promotions on this card. There are no bonuses, rewards points and cash backs. You will pay 2% foreign transaction fee with First Citizens Smart Option Visa Card.

There is also 0% APR for 12 months for balance transfers. The regular APR for balance transfer is 9.99% – 20.99%. This depends on your creditworthiness. If you think that your creditworthiness is not well, you can also check some alternative cards which offers certain APR below 12%. We have mentioned about those recently on Credit Cards Center.
