The Office of the Comptroller of Currency has launched a new website, www.helpwithmybank.gov.  While it appears this website is in very early stages, the site may eventually provide good information to consumers.  A section on credit card balance transfers currently has two questions and answers, a far cry from the hundreds of articles and comments that can be found at Smart Balance Transfers.  However, this site contains questions and answers about a range of credit card issues, including fees and penalties, as well as general banking concerns.

Over time this site may become a useful tool.  In the meantime, however, you may want to review balance transfer credit card information on our site if the helpwithmybank doesn’t resolve your questions.
