Hi Tony,
The limit of 80% means you can transfer up to 80% of your new credit card limit. For instance, if that limit is $10,000, then you could transfer up to $8,000 across.
If you have a credit card with a $15,000 and the balance is very low, then you probably won’t get any benefit from a balance transfer card.
If you apply for a new account as joint applicants, then you can transfer the debt across from an existing joint account, but banks may not accept a debt from a joint account to a single person’s account, as you’re effectively taking on the full burden of that debt for the other person and you’re not legally responsible for it. This may vary between different lenders, so you can contact the bank directly for personal advice.
Hope this helps!

can you please elaborate on Interest-free days. Card description says “When you pay your previous balance in full by the statement due date, you can take advantage of up to 44 interest-free days on purchases. You won’t be eligible for interest-free days if you’re paying off a balance transfer.”
How will repayment work with BT?

If you’ve transferred a balance, no interest applies to that transferred balance during the offer period. But that means any new purchases won’t be eligible for a no-interest period. If you’re using the card for a balance transfer, it makes sense not to use it for new purchases and to focus on paying down that balance. But if you’re using it for everyday purchases, the interest-free days can be useful. Hope that helps.

I’m self employed but haven’t yet done last years tax return. Can I use BAS statements and bank records as proof of income?

Hi Luke, Kogan’s criteria for self-employed applicants are two years of tax returns or two years of company P&L statements – so it looks like you’d need to have done your tax return before applying. Hope this helps.

2 questions: What is the fee for missed monthly repayments?
Do they accept a balance transfer from Westpac Ignite?
Sarah Megginson Finder
September 30, 2024
Hi CC,
A missed monthly payment is considered to be late, so you would be charged the listed late payment fee of $30.
There are no brands mentioned as being excluded for the balance transfer in the FAQs or the terms and conditions, so it’s likely that a Westpac card is eligible. But if you want to be certain before you apply, you can call their customer service team on 1300 415 445.
Hope this helps!
