    What ATM can I use and how many of them

      AngusOctober 10, 2024Finder

      You can use ANZ, CommBank, NAB or Westpac ATMs without an ATM fee – but note that if you withdraw cash from a credit card, other fees will apply.

    Every lender from Latitude to Commonwealth Bank has declined me for a credit card. Do you know if this is always the case for a poor credit rating and what can I do to make them see past it?

      Hi John,

      Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.

      Sorry to hear about your declined application.

      Yes, credit card providers check the applicant’s creditworthiness via a credit report. You may learn more about the other reasons for rejected credit card applications. I suggest that you build your credit score first before applying for a credit card. In the meantime, you may check the other products available for bad credit.

      I hope this helps.

      Thank you and have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Jeni
