Bank First is owned by its customers, which means any profits made are put towards projects and initiatives that benefit customers, rather than shareholders. This structure can lead to more competitive accounts, as well as ethical and community initiatives, which customers can also have a say in.
If you have a mobile phone or device with Apple Pay or Google Pay, you can add a Bank First Visa credit card and make contactless payments straight from your phone.
You can use the Bank First Visa Classic and Visa Platinum credit cards to pay in person, online or over the phone with any business that takes Visa cards. When you shop online, you'll also get Visa Secure protection to help verify your purchases at participating merchants. Plus, you can access exclusive deals on shopping, dining, entertainment and travel through Visa Offers + Perks.
You can check your balance and manage your account through Bank First's internet banking or mobile app. You can also visit a branch or call 1300 654 822.
Applying for a credit card online is fast and easy. You'll need to be at least 18 years of age and meet the card's eligibility criteria. For more about eligibility, the kinds of documentation you'll need and the factors that can affect whether your card application is approved, check out our full guide to applying for a credit card.

Finder is a comparison service. We do not compare every product or every provider in the market.
We make money through commercial arrangements with some of the providers on this site. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement.
Our editorial content, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements.
The default order of products in our tables can be influenced by commercial arrangements. You can re-sort or filter using the controls above each table.
Some content on this site may be generated or supported by AI tools. You should verify details directly with the provider.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
Our comparison service does not include every product or every provider in the market. Some product issuers offer their products under multiple brands or through associated companies. Where we can, we identify the underlying issuer so you can compare like with like, but you should always check with the provider directly to confirm which brand you are dealing with.
Finder is a comparison website and an intermediary. We are not a product issuer and we do not provide personal financial or credit advice. When you click a link to a product, or apply for a product through our site, you deal directly with the product issuer. We may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the issuer if you click through, apply or take out a product. We describe these arrangements in more detail under 'How we make money' below.
Product features, fees, terms and eligibility criteria are set by the product issuer and may change. We rely on information supplied by issuers when we present product details on our site. Before you apply for or take out any product, you should confirm the details directly with the issuer.
We earn revenue from Finder in four principal ways:
Referral fees and commissions. When you click a product link, complete an enquiry form or apply for a product through our site, we may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the product issuer. We may also receive payment based on the volume of leads or conversions we send to an issuer.
Sponsored placements. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement between Finder and the issuer. These labels always indicate a paid placement. We do not use them for editorial choices.
Display advertising. Banner advertising, newsletter advertising and similar display ads on our site are paid by advertisers.
Content sponsorship. Some articles, videos and social media posts are sponsored by an issuer and are clearly labelled as such.
Our editorial opinions, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements. A 'Top Pick' is an editorial choice made by our writers and editors based on the criteria described on each comparison page. A 'Top Pick' is not a personal recommendation and does not mean the product is appropriate for your circumstances.
If you would like to know whether we have a commercial arrangement with a specific product issuer, please contact us.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the default order can be influenced by commercial arrangements we have with product issuers. In some categories, sponsored or featured products appear in the top positions of the table by default, and are always labelled as such.
Other factors that influence default order include price, fees and features, and (where relevant) our editorial view of the product.
You can re-sort every comparison table using the controls above the table. You can filter by product features that matter to you. The order you see after re-sorting or filtering is not influenced by commercial arrangements.

Is there a maximum amount I can put on the credit card in one day?
Hi Wendy,
The card’s available credit limit is the maximum amount you could spend in one day. You can check this limit through Internet or phone banking. It’s also included on each credit card statement.
Some cards also have separate limits for ATM withdrawals, cash advance transactions or other specific transactions. I couldn’t see any details about this on the Bank First website but if you have further questions you can contact the bank on 1300 654 104. I hope that helps.
