Expert review

The ANZ Low Rate credit card combines two cost-saving features with its 0% balance transfer promotion and a $0 annual fee for the first year ($58 p.a. thereafter).

Although it's one of the longest interest-free balance transfers on the market, it charges a one-time 1.5% balance transfer fee. Any remaining debt at the end of the balance transfer period will attract the high revert rate, currently 20.24% p.a.
