VERMONT Platinum Credit Card
The VERMONT Platinum Visa® credit card is truly unique. It’s the one card that saves you money when you shop locally and doesn’t cost a fortune when you can’t. The same low interest rate for Vermont-based purchases applies to balance transfers too, meaning you can consolidate other credit cards onto the VERMONT Platinum credit card at the lower in-state rate. We don’t raise the interest rate if you’re late on payments or if your credit score changes in the future, and you get a 25-day grace period on purchases. You must be 18 years or older to apply.
