Expert review

The Bank of Melbourne No Annual Fee credit card currently offers a 0% purchase rate promotion for 12 months and an ongoing $0 annual fee, which could help you save money and cut back on card costs. However, it is worth noting that a relatively high 20.74% p.a. revert rate kicks in after the introductory period.

This card also features contactless payments at the checkout, as well as mobile payments through Google Pay and Samsung Pay. If you shop online with this card, you'll also get another layer of protection through Visa Secure, which adds an extra verification step at the checkout for partnered merchants.

Hi Fred,

Thanks for your question.

The $15 card replacement fee is applicable when your card is lost in Australia. There will be no fee when your card is replaced or renewed due to account/card expiration.

Cheers,
May

What does it mean when a card has 0 days interest free?

Hi Sara,

Thanks for your question.

This means that you will get charged interest from the day you make a purchase on the card. Other cards have up to 55 days interest-free and some cards have an extended interest-free period when you activate the card.

Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Jacob
