Types of credit cards from Bank of Melbourne

  • Bank of Melbourne low rate credit cards

The Bank of Melbourne Vertigo credit card offers a low variable interest rate on purchases and a relatively low annual fee that is competitive with other low rate credit cards. These features can help you save money if you don't pay your credit card in full every month.

  • Bank of Melbourne no annual fee credit cards

The Bank of Melbourne No Annual Fee Credit Card is designed to give you the flexibility of a credit card without having to worry about paying a yearly fee for it. As with most no annual fee credit cards, this card has a higher interest rate for purchases than a low rate credit card. But you can get interest-free days on purchases if you pay your monthly payment balance as listed on your statement by the due date.

  • Bank of Melbourne rewards credit cards

With a Bank of Melbourne Amplify credit card, you'll earn Amplify Points per $1 spent. Amplify is the rewards program for St.George, Bank of Melbourne and BankSA.

You can redeem your points for gift cards, retail items or travel rewards. You can also transfer your Amplify Points to Velocity Frequent Flyer or Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer.

  • Bank of Melbourne frequent flyer credit cards

Bank of Melbourne offers two credit cards that earn Qantas Points per $1 spent: the Bank of Melbourne Amplify Platinum Qantas and the Bank of Melbourne Amplify Signature Qantas.

With one of these cards, you'll need to choose the Amplify Qantas option and include your Qantas Frequent Flyer details when you apply. If you already have an Amplify credit card, you can switch to Amplify Qantas by calling the Bank of Melbourne Amplify Rewards centre on 1300 600 266.

Balance transfer offers with Bank of Melbourne credit cards

If you want to pay off an existing credit card balance with a bank other than Bank of Melbourne, St.George or BankSA, moving it to a Bank of Melbourne credit card with an introductory low or 0% balance transfer rate can help you save on interest and pay off the debt faster.

At the end of the introductory period, any remaining balance from the transfer will attract the card's variable cash advance rate. As this rate can be high, you'll get the most value from a balance transfer offer if you can pay it off during the introductory period.

Notify Bank of Melbourne that you want to do a balance transfer when you apply for a card.

Benefits of getting a Bank of Melbourne credit card

Some of the features and services you can look forward to with a Bank of Melbourne credit card include:

  • My Offers Hub

A personal Bank of Melbourne card gives you access to discounts and offers with brands such as Myer, Priceline and THE ICONIC through the My Offers Hub. To see the latest deals, you just have to log in to your mobile or Internet bank account and go to the "My offers and benefits" section. You can also opt-in to get emailed offers by updating your marketing preferences via Internet banking.

  • Instalment plans

Bank of Melbourne offers 0% interest instalment plans via a program called Plan&Pay. You can pay off any new purchases over $200 over 3, 6 or 12 months.

While there's no interest for these instalment plans, you'll pay an upfront fee of 1% for a 3-month plan, 2% for 6-month plans and 4% for 12-month plans.

  • Security

Bank of Melbourne credit cards come with 24/7 fraud monitoring and support services to help keep your account safe. The Bank of Melbourne Fraud Money Back Guarantee also means you won't have to cover the cost of fraudulent transactions if they're made on your credit card. Plus, you can put a temporary lock on your card for up to 15 days through mobile or Internet banking.

Eligibility criteria

If you want to apply for a Bank of Melbourne credit card, there are a few eligibility criteria you'll need to meet so you can get started. Each card has slightly different requirements but will include:

  • Australian residency status. You must be an Australian permanent resident or citizen. Further conditions may apply if you want to get a credit card as a permanent resident.
  • Age. You must be at least 18 years of age.

How long does it take to apply?

You can apply for a Bank of Melbourne credit card online in around 10 minutes if you already have an account with the bank, or 20 minutes if you're a new customer. If you need more time while you're filling in the application, you can also save it and finish it any time within 30 days from when you started it.

You can also apply by visiting a Bank of Melbourne branch or by calling 13 22 66.

Information and documents you need to apply

  • Personal information. This includes your full name, date of birth, residential address, email address and contact number. You also need to provide a valid form of ID, such as your driver's licence, Medicare card, passport or Australian birth certificate.
  • Employment information. Provide details of your current employment circumstances, such as your role, salary and your employer's name and contact details.
  • Other financial information. This includes any other form of income you receive, as well as assets such as savings or investments. You'll also need to provide details of any debts or existing credit card accounts, as well as ongoing expenses such as rent, bills and groceries.

Credit card details

During the application, you'll be asked about the details of your new Bank of Melbourne credit card. The 2 key details to look at are the following:

  • Credit limit. If you have a credit limit in mind for the credit card, you can include a request for that amount as part of the application. Just keep in mind that this is subject to Bank of Melbourne's lending criteria and assessment, so in some cases, the actual limit you get could be lower than the one you requested.
  • Balance transfer details. If you want to take advantage of a balance transfer offer on a Bank of Melbourne credit card, you will need to provide details of the existing debt, including the account number, the financial institution and the amount you want to transfer.

What happens after you apply?

You'll get a response within 60 seconds of submitting your application online, and someone from Bank of Melbourne will contact you by email, phone or text message if any more details are needed.

If you're approved, you'll get your new credit card in the mail and can activate it through Internet or mobile banking.

      Hi Tiffy,

      Thanks for your question.

      Yes, Bank of Melbourne allows for a balance transfer to a joint credit card account. However, the amount to be transferred should not be from any of the credit cards issued by the Westpac Group (BankSA, Bank of Melbourne, St.George). Please note that with a Bank of Melbourne’s joint credit card account, you will be given individual cards under one account.

      Cheers,
      Anndy
