Are you looking for a low interest credit card so that you can save on interest fees when you carry a balance from month to month? If that’s the case, you should go for low interest credit cards which offer introductory rates from as low as 0% for a certain period of time.

Whether you are booking a vacation package, buying an expensive gift or transferring an existing card balance, there is nothing better than being assured that you will only have to pay a low interest rate for your purchases or balance transfers if you won’t be able to repay within the same month.

Using DailyMarkets.com’s search wizard, I’ve come up with a list of the top 11 best credit cards offering low interest, all of which have no annual fee.

Citi Simplicity Card. This new card, issued by Citibank (NYSE:C), has a 0% intro APR on purchases for 18 months, and also a 0% intro APR on balance transfers for 18 months. After those first 18 months, you will have to pay a variable APR of 12.99%, 17.99% or 21.99%, depending on your credit score. Citi Simplicity is at the top of my recommendation list because it doesn’t charge any late fees, or increase your interest rate when you miss a payment due date.

Slate from Chase – No Balance Transfer Fee. This low interest Chase card has a 0% intro APR on both purchases and balance transfers for 15 months, and on top of that, you pay no balance transfer fee at all if you transfer a balance from another card to Chase Slate within the first 30 days of account opening. All other cards charge a 3-5% balance transfer fee when you make a balance transfer. After the intro period, you will have to pay a variable APR of 11.99%, 16.99% or 21.99% depending on your credit score.

You’ll also get 5% cash back on quarterly rotating categories of purchases and 1% cash back on all other purchases.
