Types of Auswide Bank credit cards

If you're interested in a credit card from Auswide Bank, you can choose between a Visa option that offers low rates and fees, or a Mastercard with rewards and platinum perks.

Low rate credit cards

The Auswide Bank Low Rate Visa offers a competitive 8.2% p.a. variable interest rate for purchases and cash advances. A unique feature of this card (compared to other low rate cards) is that the variable rate will only change if the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) official cash rate changes. This is because the card's interest rate is set based on the RBA rate and a fixed margin applied by the bank. It also offers a $50 annual fee that's waived for cardholders under 25 years of age.

Platinum credit cards

The Auswide Bank Platinum Rewards Mastercard offers platinum perks including complimentary international travel insurance, interstate flight inconvenience insurance and a concierge service that can help you with tasks such as restaurant bookings or gift purchases. Outside of any promotional offers, it charges an annual fee of $129 and a purchase interest rate of 20.24% p.a. It also offers points for every $1 spent on eligible purchases, which you can redeem for gift cards, merchandise, frequent flyer points and other rewards available through the Card Services Rewards program.

What are the benefits of banking with Auswide Bank?

If you decide to apply for an Auswide Bank credit card, some of the features and benefits you could enjoy include:

• Rewards

The Auswide Bank Platinum Mastercard earns 1 reward point per $1 spent on eligible purchases, with no point expiry and a variety of reward options – from frequent flyer point transfers to travel bookings, merchandise and cash back.

• Complimentary insurance covers

The Auswide Bank Platinum Mastercard offers complimentary international travel insurance, interstate flight inconvenience insurance, transit accident insurance, extended warranty insurance, purchase cover and a guaranteed pricing scheme.

• Balance transfers

If you have existing credit card with another bank or provider, you could request a balance transfer to an Auswide Bank credit card. Depending on when you apply, you may be able to take advantage of an introductory balance transfer rate. For example, the Auswide Bank Platinum Mastercard offers an introductory 0% p.a. rate on balance transfers for 14 months. When the offer period ends, any remaining balance transfer debt will attract the card’s cash advance rate.
