The Bankwest Breeze card really does have one of the lowest rates you'll find for purchases. If you want to pay as low interest as possible when you can't pay off your whole balance each month, then this is one of the best options out there - especially as the annual fee is also one of the lowest too.

Pros

  • 0% on purchases for the first 4 months (reverts to purchase rate)
  • 0% on balance transfer for 6 months (reverts to purchase rate)
  • Low standard purchase rate of 11.99% p.a.

Cons

  • High cash rate
  • No rewards

This card is great for anyone wanting low interest rates. I got it cos of the purchase offer â?? 0% for 6 months. The balance transfer you could probably get better elsewhere, but for low ongoing rates it has to be one of the best. The low annual fee is just icing on the cake.

      Hi Simone, yes it is. However you won’t be able to transfer a balance from a Bankwest credit card.

      Hi sm, Bankwest terms and conditions state that balances revert to the standard rate – currently 11.99%. You should double check this on your next credit card statement and decide if you are still happy with the interest rate then. If you wish to transfer again, we’ve written an article which you should find helpful. If you’ve got any further questions after reading the article we’re always here to help.

    Could you please tell me how repayments are made to this institution? Do the accept online or BPayments?

      Hi Leanne, repayments can be made a number of ways, such as by direct debit, or by you transferring the amount due before the statement due date each month. You can pay online using BPay with Bankwest, and many other banks. The Bankwest Biller Code, according to the Bankwest website, is 9100 and you are told to use your card number as a reference. If you wish to pay this way you will also see instructions on your first statement, so have a good look through the payment options listed on the bottom or on the back and pick the method that suits you best.

    Typically, how long does it take for a balance transfer to be processed?

      Roland

      February 6th, 2013 at 12:31pm

      Hi Allison, the usual time given for a balance transfer to be processed is 2 weeks (minimum 10 business days). This is the time from your application being approved to your old card balances being moved across to the new card so you are able to close them if you want to. If you would like a little more information on why this takes up to two weeks – we have written this answer to ‘why does it take two weeks for my balance transfer to be processed’ under our Balance Transfer page FAQ section. Hope that helps!

      The time it takes to do a balance transfer will vary between different banks and credit card providers. The number of cards you want to transfer across, whether you have filled out the application form completely and it is accurate and whether you are a new customer can have an impact on the time it takes to finalise the transfer. You may also need to complete a ‘100 point ID check’ as a new customer with your application.

      You will be sent the new card, terms and conditions and the bank’s information, and you also need to allow a few days to receive this from the time you are told your balance transfer has been approved. You may have to go into a branch to activate your card, and then you can check the balance to see when your previous balances have been transferred. The balance should be checked every couple of days and when the balances are transferred, any old cards you wish to close can be closed down provided you have no outstanding fees or other payments to take care of. This has to be done with your old bank. The new bank does not request any other accounts be closed, only that the balance owing is transferred.

      You may see one card balance transfer to the new card more quickly than the other because the time taken depends on the policy and procedure of different banks. It is still reasonable to expect that the whole process should be finished in two weeks, or three weeks at the absolute maximum. If it is taking longer or very close to that time you should contact your bank with your application details (application number, lodgement and receipt number) to check the status.

      If you continue to receive statements after your transfer, you will need to check the balance and follow up with the old bank as to why your card hasn’t been closed if you requested the old card to be closed.

    Am I able to set my own credit limit on this? My daughter has never had a credit card before.

      Hi Lance, yes you are able to specify a maximum credit limit on the application. IF you don’t Bankwest assigns one based on its own lending criteria.

    I quite like the offers on this card but there are no rewards on it. Does this card have a Gold or Platinum program with rewards?

      Hi Darryl, I’m afraid the Breeze Classic card does not have rewards. Check out the Bankwest More credit cards if you’re interested in rewards.

    If, for example,I wanted to cancel this credit card 2-3 months down the track, How much would this cost??

    • user pic

      Roland

      January 22nd, 2013 at 8:14am

      Hi Ben, you would pay the cost of the annual fee and also need to pay off any outstanding balance and any other charges.

    Just wondering what a “cash advance rate” is?

    • user pic

      Roland

      January 22nd, 2013 at 8:22am

      Hi Jamie, a cash advance rate is the interest charged on the cash you withdraw from an ATM. Cash advance rates are generally high on most credit cards and dont have an interest free period like purchases – so you’ll accumulate the interest charge from the day you take the cash out.
