[This article](https://wallethub.com/answers/cc/what-is-a-good-interest-rate-on-a-credit-card-2140691326/) essentially says that the answer is “Yes.” Judging from [this video](https://youtu.be/5gnvjvYa7dQ) as well as [this other video](https://youtu.be/nrkgyemSmoU), it seems to me that “No” would be Clark Howard’s answer.

Our credit union is at 9% personal loan 3.94% car loan, and 10.25% credit card

There probably are better options out there

The prime rate is 4.75%

Absolutely. We are in a severe bind right now so the goal is to stop the bleeding. The goal is a tourniquet

Good advice. Currently paying 5% interest on all debts except 2.625% for the mortgage.

Smartpolitics, is the credit card in question a **fixed-rate** credit card? I can’t say that Navy Federal Credit Union offers such a card at the present time. (For the record, both me and Clark Howard are NFCU members.)

I’m thinking of taking a credit and I’m looking for some banks with good terms. I found acima credit [here](https://acima-credit.pissedconsumer.com/review.html), but the rate is almost 12% and some reviews are really negative.
