  • Purchase rate. This is the standard rate of interest applied to new purchases if you carry a balance from month to month. It’s currently 27.99% p.a. variable.
  • Cash advance rate. Withdrawing cash from an ATM, using the card for BPAY or making any other cash advance transactions will attract an interest rate of up to 29.99% p.a.
  • Expired promotional purchases. This interest rate is applied to 0% Interest Payment Plan purchases when the balance is not paid in full during the promotional period. This rate is currently 29.99% p.a.

The different fees you could be charged with a Latitude GO Mastercard are listed below, including details of when they apply:

  • Account servicing fee. This card charges a fee of $10.95 per month if your balance is over $10.
  • Paper statement fee. If you request a printed statement for your account, you will be charged $5 per statement.
  • Late payment fee. A fee of $45 is applied if you don’t make a payment by the due date.
  • Cash advance fee. Withdrawing money and other cash advance transactions will cost $3.5 or 4% of the transaction (whichever is greater).
  • Direct credit advance fee. If you transfer funds from your GO Mastercard to a nominated bank account, you will be charged the greater of $3 or 3% of the total transaction (up to a maximum of $30 per transaction).

      Hi Sammy, thanks for your inquiry!

      The GO MasterCard can be used overseas providing the merchant/ATM accepts MasterCard.

    Hi team
    I was wondering is it possible to get a gem or ge card if you have bad credit and on your credit history it shows paid in full

      Hi Erica, thanks for your inquiry!

      If your bad credit records have been cleared then your chances of being approved will be improved. Please note that we are unable to provide consultation on your individual circumstances as we are a comparison service, so contacting GE Money would be ideal to clarify your chances of being approved.

      Cheers,

    Hello, I have just ordered a replacement card, I need it urgently. Can I pick it up from a GE shop front instead of waiting for it in the mail? Will this be quicker?

      AvatarFinder
      SallySeptember 15, 2015Finder

      Hi Chelsea,

      Thanks for your question.

      Just to confirm, you have come through to finder.com.au, not GE Money.

      How you can access your card will depend on what you requested at the time of submitting your application for a replacement card. If you’re unsure, you may need to contact GE Money directly to confirm how they have organised for the card to be delivered to you and whether you can do this by picking up a card in-store.

      I’ve emailed you the relevant contact details for your convenience.

      I hope this has helped.

      Thanks,

      Sally

    Dear GO team, I impulsively purchased a bed this afternoon and decided I changed my mind within a couple of hours. The sales assistant put it through on my GO card. When I went back to the store to cancel the so called manager was not happy and said it would be too difficult to cancel as I had signed a contract with you. He also said I would have to pay 30% of the total invoice. I am very upset and surprised by his response. I have checked and can see the cooling off period is 10 business days with out cost to me, please can you advise many thanks

      Hi Karen, thanks for your inquiry!

      To dispute this sales transaction please refer to the contact details I have sent to your email for GE Capital Finance/ GE MasterCard.
