Today it told me that they needed my bank information, so I gave them my Navy Federal savings account numbers for that sweet sweet 0.25% interest, but my introductory 0% APR expires 6/4.
I owe $4,803 in taxes, have $7,000 on my credit card, will receive that $1,200 check, and will have $8,747.54 available in Navy Federal savings once the Zelle goes through.
I needed to give Navy Federal my Gmail and Google Voice numbers to set it up. Navy Federal says that it will take four days. Bank of America would have charged $3 to send $1,000 in three business days, which is more than I would earn in interest in a year.
I should be accruing about $2 a month in interest when my introductory APR runs out, but I may only owe about $600 on my credit card more than I have in my savings account.
My checking account isn't doing great, but I am going to see if I can put together the money to pay it off instead of transferring it or starting to pay interest.

My local credit union gives me 3% on my money and has no fees on anything.
