Discover will be removing both the minimum and maximum balance transfer fees on its consumer and business credit cards, effective November 1, 2008. Currently, balance transfers are assessed a fee of 3% with a $10 min and $75 max for consumer accounts. As of next month, all balance transfers will be subject to a flat 3% fee.

For those who pay off their balance every month, it’s a convenient way to save a trip to the ATM.
