What are the pro's and con's... ?

I have 1 credit card through my bank with a high limit, half of which is debt. What would be the pro%26#039;s and con%26#039;s of taking out a personal loan from my bank (or other banking institution) to pay off my credit card?



I have no problem making my monthly payment plus $100/$200 extra per month ( which is at least double the min payment).



The interest rate on my card is prime +1%



I do not own a home so rolling the credit card debit into a home loan is not an option.



Any advise?



What are the pro%26#039;s and con%26#039;s... ?postage rate





The only thing that really matters is your rate. If it%26#039;s better at the bank then go for it. One thing about cards though is you may be able to transfer balances to a zero interest one and pay off as much as possible and then transfer the rest to another zero interest deal, etc. Sometimes there aren%26#039;t even balance transfer fees so you end up paying very little interest if any.
