Low rate credit card
The People's Choice Credit Union Visa offers an introductory rate of 2.99% p.a. on purchases and balance transfers for the first 6 months. After that, a variable interest rate of either 15.75% p.a. or 12.95% p.a. applies and is based on your application details. This is different to most credit cards, which typically offer one standard variable rate. But as both interest rates are lower than the average credit card interest rate of around 20%, you can compare this card to low rate credit cards.

Ask a question
Do the Credit Union charge overseas transaction fees on either the credit or debit card?
Hi Marianne,
The People’s Choice Credit Union Visa Credit Card has a currency conversion fee of 3%.
I tried searching their website for the PDS related to their debit card but it’s not currently available on their site, so I can’t confirm the fee on their debit card. However as a guide, most Visa debit cards have a fee of 3%.
If you’d like to find a card that doesn’t charge overseas transaction or foreign exchange fees, you can search some credit card options here and debit card options here.
Hope this helps!
