3.94% p.a

Hi everyone,

Can some help me out and tell what p.a means

I have recieved some cheques from the halifax and they are offering me 3.94% pa for the lifetime of the balance.

Does this mean i pay 3.94% per month on the balance each month?

Thanks for the help

    If they say pa it stands for per annum (per year) (about 0.3 per month aprox)
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.

    No it's yearly. Don't forget, if you have a balance on the card already that that will continue to be charged at your standard rate, whilst the LOB offer gets paid off first.
    Good offer though.
