I am only on a senior pension with commonwealth and I think I have 11,000 annual income and a proof of age as id will I be approve
Hi Natividad,
Thank you for your comment.
Please have a look for the minimum income requirement at the bottom of each card’s review page. This will let you know whether you’re eligible to apply for the card. It doesn’t matter whether you’re employed, on a pension or receiving your income from assets like property, if you meet the income requirement (in addition to the other minimum eligibility requirements) then you can apply for a card. For your other question, if you are applying online, there’s an option that you can select if you’re applying without a Driver’s licence.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sally
I M a current visa cardholder, can I utilise “transfer to the 0% pa for 16 months” idea of course is to pay debt without interest, thanks
Hi Fran,
Thanks for your question.
If you meet the eligibility criteria for the BankSA card then you can apply for a balance transfer from up to three [non- St.George, BankSA and Bank of Melbourne], Australian issued credit, charge or store cards at the time of application.
I hope this has helped.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Generally, it shouldn’t matter whether you’re employed full time, on a pension or receiving your income from assets like property, if you meet the income requirement (in addition to the other minimum eligibility requirements) then you can apply for a card.

Hi, my name is Moses, I am a customer with BankSA. I am on a student visa, and was wondering what my chances of getting a loan with you are, and how much? Also, I would like to know what the requirements would be, if i should qualify.
regards
Moses.
Hi Moses. Thanks for writing into us with your question. If you’re on a visa, you may need to speak to the lender directly. The products listed on our site are for permanent Australian residents, and although people on long stay and business visa can also apply for some of the products listed on our site, it’s something that will need to be done in person. You can find more information about credit cards for temporary residents on this page. I hope this helps. Jacob.
My pensioner income is $18,000pa plus casual extra approximately $3000pa.I would like to apply for a C/Card balance transfer of $4900. Westpac card to your SA Vertigo. Would this business be conducted through St George Bank branches? Awaiting your response,Regards,
Hello Brian,
thanks for the question.
Application and balance transfers to the BankSA Vertigo can be carried out over the phone, internet or at a branch. If you wish to apply at a branch in a state where there are no BankSA branches, then this would need to be carried out at a St George branch, and in this case would mean you’d receive a St George Vertigo credit card.
I hope this helps,
Marc.
