GO MasterCard is a credit card offered by General Electric consumer finance.  It is an unusual card in that it has interest free offers open on certain goods, but these goods change from shop to shop.

The card grows out of GE Finance’s speciality of offering consumer finance to enable shops to sell big items.  This is the core of their business in Australia, and easing the ability to buy large goods was the reason why GE set up its consumer finance arm in the 1930s. Today they are one of the world’s largest consumer finance companies in the world in their own right.  In some ways the card can be seen as a logical extension of GE Finance’s core business.
