Types of credit cards from Bank of Melbourne

Bank of Melbourne offers credit cards that cater to different lifestyles, budgets and spending habits. If you're interested in saving on credit card costs, you could consider the range of Bank of Melbourne low rate and no annual fee credit cards. Have deeper pockets or want more credit card benefits? Then maybe the Bank of Melbourne Amplify Rewards or Amplify Qantas cards will suit your needs. Plus, if you run a business, you could enjoy the convenience of a credit card for you and your employees with either the Bank of Melbourne Business Amplify or Bank of Melbourne Corporate Card.

• Low rate credit cards

Bank of Melbourne offers both a standard and a platinum version of its low rate Vertigo Visa credit card. While both options offer a low variable interest rate for purchases, the Vertigo Platinum also comes with complimentary insurance covers, which can save you money and give you peace of mind.

• 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. While no annual fee credit cards have a higher purchase rate than a low rate credit card, you still get interest-free days on purchases if you pay your monthly payment balance as listed on your statement by the due date.

• Rewards credit cards

With a Bank of Melbourne Amplify credit card, you'll earn Amplify Points per $1 spent. Your points can then be redeemed for a range of rewards including travel bookings, gift cards or frequent flyer points with Velocity, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer or Malaysia Airlines Enrich. If you'd prefer to earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points with a Bank of Melbourne credit card, you could opt-in to the Qantas Amplify program instead. Compare rewards credit cards by their annual fee, the earn rate and value-adding extras such as insurance so you can find one that works for you.

Here are some of the features and services you can look forward to with a Bank of Melbourne credit card:

Along with St.George and BankSA, Bank of Melbourne operates under the Westpac Group.

• Mobile payment and banking options

Register your Bank of Melbourne credit card for online banking so you can repay your account, make payments to accounts in Australia and overseas and view statements anywhere, anytime. This also means you can make contactless payments using an eligible device when you link your Bank of Melbourne credit card to Apple Pay, Samsung Pay or Google Pay.

• Birthday Bonus

The Birthday Bonus is a feature of the Bank of Melbourne Amplify Signature Visa Card and gives you an additional 10% of the points you’ve earned per $1 spent within the previous 12 months. Note that this bonus does not factor in any other bonus points you may have earned in that time.

• Visa purchase power

Visa is one of the most widely recognised credit card logos in the world, making it easy to purchase in person, online, over the phone and overseas.

How to compare Bank of Melbourne credit cards

Before applying for a Bank of Melbourne credit card, you’ll need to ask yourself the following questions:

• What are the interest rates? It is not unusual for the interest rate on a cash advance to be slightly higher than the purchase rate, but it should be competitive to what other banks are offering.
• How much is the cash advance fee? With the Bank of Melbourne, and all banks in the Westpac group, you are not charged a fee when using an ATM in their network. Fees can incur if you use a different bank’s ATM or if you make withdrawals overseas using your Visa credit card.
• What is the rewards program like? Make sure that the rewards program compliments your existing spending patterns. If you don’t fly with Qantas or shop with any of Bank of Melbourne’s partners, then you’ll find it difficult to earn enough rewards to offset the costs of the card.
• What is the annual fee? If the value of the rewards you earn doesn’t counteract the annual fee, then you’re not using the card to its full potential.

  The minimum monthly repayment must be made by the date shown on your Bank of Melbourne credit card statement, otherwise a late fee will be charged.

• How is my Bank of Melbourne credit card protected from fraud?

In the event that it was actually you who carried out the transaction, a call to Bank of Melbourne is all it takes to get your credit card operating normally again.

  You’re also protected by the Visa Zero Liability Policy. If you’re the victim of credit card fraud when you use your card to shop online or to make purchases over the counter, Visa and the Bank of Melbourne will fully reimburse you the defrauded amount as long as you have not contributed to the loss and you contact Visa and the Bank of Melbourne immediately.

• How can I raise my credit limit on my Bank of Melbourne credit card?

  Bank of Melbourne will assign you a credit limit when you first apply for a credit card. This credit limit is how much the bank is willing to lend to you and is based on how much you can afford to repay.
