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. To learn more about some of the features and benefits of the VERMONT Platinum credit card, watch this short video. 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.
