Card benefits

Low introductory rate. All transactions you make using this Visa Credit Card attract a low introductory rate of 7.74% for the first 6 months. By using this card to transfer balances from other cards that charge higher interest, you can save considerably in the form of interest. The low interest you pay on purchases and cash advances in this period would also lead to savings.
Low ongoing rate. At the end of the introductory 6-month period, a low ongoing rate of 13.49% p.a. will apply on the card. This rate, again, applies on all transactions, which could leading to further savings in the long run depending on how you use the card.

Interest-free days on all purchases. Unlike most other cards that only offer interest-free days if you pay your account's closing balance in full every month, this card has no such requirement. Irrespective of your account's outstanding balance, this card provides you with up to 55 interest-free days on all purchases.
Funds anywhere, anytime. You can access funds using this Visa card in most countries around the world, at ATMs as well as at EFTPOS terminals. You simply have to look for the Visa logo. You can also use this Visa card to pay bills and make purchases over the internet and phone.

Annual fee. This card attracts a nominal annual fee of $60, which you don't have to pay for the first 12 months. If you have an All in One Home Loan with this bank, you don't have to pay the ongoing annual fee.
Introductory interest rate. The low introductory interest rate of 7.74% stays in place for the first 6 months, and applies on purchases and balance transfers.

Interest-free days. You don't have to pay your account's closing balance in full to take advantage of the interest-free days this card offers, and you can get as many as 55 interest-free days on all purchases.
