WalletHub: Ask the Experts

Amanda Heitz, assistant professor of finance, was featured in a WalletHub "Ask the Experts" Q&A on low-interest credit cards. Heitz addressed the changing definition of low-interest, why credit card rates remain high despite historically low interest rates, and how credit cards compare to bank loans.
