Our verdict

A no-frills credit card offering 0% interest on balance transfers for 24 months, with a one-time 1% balance transfer fee and a $55 annual fee.

If you want to cut interest costs and repay existing credit card debt faster, the St.George Rainbow Vertigo Card offers 0% p.a. interest rate for the first 24 months on balance transfers with a one-time 1% balance transfer fee and a $55 annual fee, which is still on the lower end of the scale.

If you’re planning to shop with a credit card, the St.George Rainbow Vertigo Card also gives you an interest rate of 13.99% p.a. for purchases when you carry a balance from month to month. But you should avoid spending on the card if you want to pay off your balance transfer in full before the 0% introductory period ends. Otherwise, a 21.99% p.a. interest rate will apply to any balance transfer debt that’s left after the 24-month introductory period.

Pros

0% p.a. on balance transfers for 24 months
Competitive purchase interest rate of 13.99% p.a.
You can get an additional cardholder at no extra cost

Cons

A one-time 1% balance transfer applies
Balance transfer rate reverts to 21.99% p.a. at the end of the promotional period
You cannot earn rewards for your spending
