The Police Bank Visa Credit Card

Allowing new cardholders to keep costs down, the Police Bank Visa Credit Card is currently offering $0 annual fee for the first year with a low purchase rate and up to 55 days interest free on purchases.

What we love...

While in the first year the annual fee is waived, in the years that follow, you will pay the card’s teeny annual fee.

You can also add an additional cardholder to the account at no extra cost. Whether the card is for your partner, or perhaps one of your kids, this could offer them access to credit, while helping to streamline your family finances.

And interest? As we already pointed out, the purchase rate on this card is low. Mutuals such as Police Bank can often offer lower rates than you would find on a card from a big bank. This could save you money if you carry a balance. On the other hand, if you pay off your balance each month, you could take advantage of up to 55 days interest free on purchases, saving money that way.

What’s not so great...

As a money saver, the Police Bank Visa Credit Card keeps it simple. You will not earn rewards on your card spending, and you will not have access to any extravagant features. While simple works for some folks, we know it doesn’t work for everyone. However, when it comes to paying low interest, simple, low cost options are often a wise choice.

Why should you choose this card?

If you want an award-winner, the Police Bank Visa Credit Card may be for you. This card has been recognised by Canstar, receiving a five star rating for outstanding value. It has also been awarded best ‘Low Rate Credit Card’ and ‘Balance Transfer Credit Card’ by Mozo Experts Choice, and ‘Cheapest Balance Transfer Credit Card’ by Money magazine.

As a basic option, it could be a great choice for cardholders who have no interest in complex features or rewards – and who definitely don’t want to pay for them.

To apply, you must be a permanent Australian resident aged at least 18 years old. You must have a regular income, and you must be able to make your repayments. With this card, you can enjoy worldwide acceptance via the Visa network, while taking advantage of features such as Visa payWave and Verified by Visa, as well as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay compatibility.

Overall Rating
