Types of credit cards that Hume Bank offers

• Low rate credit cards

The Hume Bank Value credit card combines a 11.95% p.a. interest rate with no annual fee for life, making it very competitive with other low rate credit cards. It also offers interest-free days on purchases if you pay your entire balance by the due date on each statement.

• Rewards credit cards

The Hume Bank Clear credit card gives you a way to earn cash rewards as you spend. With this card, you collect 1 loyalty point per $1 spent on eligible purchases, with every 400 points equal to $1. It has a $30 annual fee that is waived if your annual spending is $8,000 or more. You can compare these features with a range of other rewards credit cards to help you find one that fits your goals.

• Business credit cards

Hume Bank is one of the few providers to offer secured options for its business credit card customers. You can choose to secure the account with residential or commercial assets, or get an unsecured account. All three of these business credit card options offer competitive interest rates for purchases, additional cards for employees and loyalty points.
