Expert review

The ANZ Low Rate credit card combines two cost-saving features with its 0% balance transfer promotion (no balance transfer fee applies) 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, any remaining debt at the end of the balance transfer period will attract the high revert rate, currently 20.24% p.a.

How to apply

You can apply for the ANZ Low Rate credit card online in around 5 minutes and receive a response within 60 seconds. Before you apply, make sure you meet the following eligibility requirements and have the necessary information to complete the application.

Eligibility criteria

Card benefits

  • Balance transfer offer. New cardholders can enjoy 0% p.a. on balance transfers for the first 20 months with no balance transfer fee. Any unpaid balance at the end of the introductory period will revert to the variable balance transfer rate of 20.24% p.a.
  • First-year annual fee waiver. Save with a $0 annual fee for the first year (reverting to $58 p.a. thereafter).

Rates & fees

  • Annual fee. Outside of any promotions, this credit card charges a competitive annual fee of $58.
  • Up to 55 days interest-free. Receive up to 55 days interest-free on purchases made with the ANZ Low Rate Credit Card when you pay your closing balance in full by the due date on each statement. Note that this will be shown as the Adjusted Closing Balance if you have promotional balances from relevant balance transfer plans, instalment plans and buy now pay later plans. The Adjusted Closing Balance is calculated as your closing balance less the sum of any relevant promotional plans.
