How to apply

You can apply for the Summerland Low Rate credit card online. To get started, make sure you meet the following eligibility criteria and have all the documents and details required for the application.

Eligibility criteria

  • Employment. You must currently have paid employment to apply for this card.
  • Residency status. You must be an Australian citizen or a permanent resident with rights to work in Australia.

Card benefits

  • Balance transfer offer. The Summerland Low Rate card offers 0% p.a. for 9 months on balance transfers with no balance transfer fee when you request the transfer at the time of your application. At the end of the introductory period, any remaining balance transfer debt will attract the card’s variable purchase rate, currently 11.99% p.a. Note that interest-free days do not apply when you carry a balance transfer debt.
  • 11.99% p.a. on purchases. If you want to make purchases with this credit card, the 11.99% p.a. variable interest rate could help keep interest charges down when compared to cards with higher standard purchase rates.

Rates & fees

  • Annual fee. This card offers a $0 annual fee in the first year and then charges a $49 annual fee after that. The cost of the annual fee will then apply each year around the date that you opened the account.
  • Foreign transaction fee. A 3% fee applies for transactions that are made in a foreign currency and converted to Australian dollars. This can include transactions made overseas as well as online transactions that are processed overseas.
