Types of credit cards that Heritage Isle offers

Heritage Isle members get to choose between two credit cards, and while both come with a Mastercard association, some of the features they offer are noticeably different.

• Low rate credit cards

Some credit card users don’t require too many features, and if you are in this boat you can benefit from the competitive rates that these cards offer. The Low Rate Mastercard that Heritage Isle offers, in addition to its low interest rate, gives you the ability to get up to 55 interest-free days on purchases. You can also use this card to transfer balances from existing cards and it comes with complimentary purchase cover.
