Types of Commonwealth Bank credit cards

If you're interested in a credit card from Commonwealth Bank, you can compare your options based on the following types of cards and your financial needs.

• Low rate credit cards

If you regularly carry a balance from month to month, you can use a low rate card to minimise your interest repayments compared to a card with a higher interest rate. Across CommBank's low rate options, the interest rates range between 9.9% p.a. on the Commonwealth Bank Essentials card and 13.24% p.a. for both the Commonwealth Bank Low Rate and Commonwealth Bank Low Rate gold credit cards. These rates are competitive when compared to some other low rate products on the market.

• Low fee credit cards

These cards are suited to cardholders who pay their balance in full every month to avoid interest but want to cut down on other card costs. CommBank offers two low fee cards: the Low Fee credit card and Low Fee Gold credit card. Both of these cards offer $0 annual fee in the first year and waive the annual fee in subsequent years when you meet the spend requirement.

• Awards credit cards

CommBank has four personal rewards credit cards to choose from. The Awards card is suited to customers who want a lower annual fee and credit limit, but still want to earn points. The Platinum Awards and Diamond Awards cards are designed for cardholders who are happy to pay higher annual fees to get more competitive earn rates and extras like international travel insurance. The Ultimate Awards card charges a monthly fee with the potential to be waived, also aimed at travellers with no foreign transaction fees.

• Small business credit cards

CBA also offers flexible credit card choices for small businesses, with low rate, interest-free days and Awards options available.

The benefits of banking with the Commonwealth Bank

Here are some of the convenient features and services you can enjoy with a Commonwealth Bank credit card:

• CommBank Rewards – cashback loyalty program

CommBank Rewards is a complimentary loyalty program available to anyone over 21 who has the CommBank app and an eligible Mastercard debit or credit card. It gives you access to cashback offers through the CommBank app, which also includes a tracking tool so you can see how much cash you have got back.

While offer details vary (because they are personalised), you'll typically earn cashback by spending a set amount of money at a partner store or stores. Some examples include spending $50 at Caltex and getting $5 back, spending $100 at Myer and getting $15 back or spending $100 at Menulog and getting $10 back. When you meet the offer requirements, the cashback will be added to your account within 5–14 business days.

• CommBank app

You can easily manage your account on the go with the comprehensive and easy-to-use CommBank app. You can use the app to check your statements and transactions, transfer money, update your personal details or PIN and locate your nearest CBA ATM or branch.

• Commonwealth Bank included travel insurance policy

You can save on necessary costs and travel with peace of mind thanks to Commonwealth Bank's included insurance policies. The insurance is provided by Zurich Australian Insurance Ltd and is available with the Commonwealth Bank Low Rate Gold, Low Fee Gold, Platinum Awards and Diamond Awards credit cards. Eligibility requirements, terms and conditions and exclusions apply, so make sure to see the Commonwealth Bank Credit Card Insurances product disclosure statement for all of the details.

• Mastercard benefits

As well as worldwide acceptance, you can look forward to a bunch of Mastercard perks with your Commonwealth Bank credit card. Mastercard Priceless Cities provides access to experiences and events in cities across the globe. For transactions under $100, you can use your card to make contactless payments thanks to Mastercard PayPass. If your card is used for fraudulent transactions, purchases will also be protected by Mastercard Zero Liability cover.

• Mobile contactless payments

Commonwealth Bank credit cards are as convenient as it gets when it comes to cardless payments. You can use your eligible smartphone or wearable to make contactless payments with Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay. You can also pay with your eligible fitness tracker via Garmin Pay and Fitbit Pay (excluding business cards).

How to apply for a CommBank credit card

Before you get started, make sure you meet the application requirements for your chosen card. These include:

• Age. You must be at least 18 years of age to apply for a credit card in Australia.
• Residency status. You must provide details of your Australian citizenship, residency or visa status. These requirements vary between cards, and additional conditions may apply for temporary residents. To ensure you're eligible, check the specific conditions for the product before you apply.
• Credit history. Your credit history must be in good standing.

Other conditions may apply depending on the card. You can find this information listed on Finder's Commonwealth Bank credit card product review and application pages. If you do meet the minimum eligibility requirements, Commonwealth Bank will also need to assess your financial situation before they make a decision about your credit card application.

Required documents

To speed up the application process, make sure you have these details and documents handy when you apply for your CommBank credit card:

• Personal information. You will need to provide information including your full name, current residential address, email address, contact phone numbers and date of birth.
• Details about your income. Aim to provide as much detail as possible about your income and assets. Details of income-generating assets such as property and shares also need to be provided, as well as information about any savings.
• Expenses and liabilities. You will need to provide information about any debts you have, as well as ongoing expenses like child support, rent, mortgage repayments, or anything else that is considered a regular, essential cost.
• Other credit cards. If you want to transfer a balance to a Commonwealth Bank credit card from your existing non-Commonwealth Bank credit card(s), store card(s) or charge card(s), you will need to provide the account details, including the card number, the amount you want to transfer and the name of the issuing financial institution.

Frequently asked questions

Want to know more about Commonwealth Bank credit cards? Here we've answered some of the most common questions we get about CommBank cards. You can also get in touch with us by using the form at the bottom of the page.

• Do my Commonwealth Bank Awards points expire?

  Commonwealth Bank Awards do not expire, providing you remain a member of the program.

• How do I earn Commonwealth Bank Awards points?

  If you have a Commonwealth Bank Awards credit card, you earn Commonwealth Bank Awards points when you make an eligible purchase. Eligible purchases include everyday transactions such as buying your groceries or filling your car up with petrol. Points are not awarded for cash transactions including cash advances, paying government fees and charges, and credit card fees and charges.

• What's the difference between CommBank Rewards and CommBank Awards?

  CommBank Rewards is a loyalty program available to eligible credit card and debit card customers who have the CommBank app.

  CommBank Awards is a credit card loyalty program that offers eligible credit card customers points per $1 spent. If you have a CommBank Awards credit card, you'll be able to get rewarded through both programs.

• How can I get CommBank Rewards cashback offers?

  First, you'll need the latest CommBank's mobile app for anyone over 21 years old who has an eligible CommBank Mastercard. This includes personal debit card, credit card and business credit card accounts that are not in default. But it excludes prepaid cards (including the Travel Money card), corporate credit cards and business debit cards.

  You can use the steps below to view and activate CommBank Rewards offers:

  1. Log in to the CommBank app.
  2. Go to "Products & Offers", then select "CommBank Rewards".
  3. Browse the current offers and click on the "Activate" button to claim the offer.
  4. Use your eligible card to meet the spend requirements at participating stores. Note that you need to tap or select credit when you use your card.

• Does the annual or monthly fee collect interest?

  The annual or monthly fee is charged to your card and added to your account balance. If you don't repay your balance in full by the end of the statement period, interest will be applied to the annual fee (as well as any other transactions that have contributed to your balance).

• How do I transfer a balance to a Commonwealth Bank credit card?

  If you want to take advantage of a Commonwealth Bank balance transfer offer, you can elect to transfer a balance when you apply for the credit card online. There’s a section within the application that asks you if you want to carry out a balance transfer. If you select "yes", you will then be prompted to enter details including the name of the financial institution you want to transfer a balance from, the card number of the accounts and the amount you want to transfer from each eligible account.

• What’s the minimum repayment on my Commonwealth Bank credit card?

  If you owe less than $25, your minimum payment is the amount you owe. Any amount you owe that exceeds your credit limit must be repaid immediately. Otherwise, your minimum payment for a personal or Awards Business CommBank credit card is the greater of:

  • 2% of the closing balance, rounded down to the nearest dollar
  • $25

  If you have a business credit card other than an Awards option, the minimum payment is either $75 or 2.5% of the balance (whichever is greater).

• How do I close my Commonwealth Bank credit card account?

  If you would like to cancel your Commonwealth Bank credit card and close your account, you need to make sure that you have paid back the balance in full. If you’re not carrying a balance on your Commonwealth Bank credit card, you can cancel your card at anytime by calling the Commonwealth Bank on 13 22 21 or by visiting a Commonwealth Bank branch.

• What are the international transaction fees for Commonwealth Bank credit cards?

  Most Commonwealth Bank credit cards have an international transaction fee of 3% for transactions you make when you're overseas or when there is an overseas connection to your transaction. This includes when you're shopping online with a business that is based overseas or that processes your CBA credit card transaction from an international location.

  If you want a Commonwealth Bank credit card that has no international transaction fee, you can consider the Commonwealth Bank Low Fee Gold Credit Card or the Commonwealth Bank Ultimate Awards Card.

  Alternatively, you could look at the prepaid Commonwealth Bank Travel Money Card or compare other credit cards with no foreign transaction fees.

• What do I need to do before travelling overseas with my Commonwealth Bank credit card?

  Before you leave for your holiday, make sure you've covered all of these bases:

  • Make sure you know your PIN. Many places require PIN verification rather than a signature, so you should make sure you have set up and memorised the PIN for your CBA card.
  • Tell CommBank you are travelling overseas. Before your travel overseas, log in to Netbank and let CommBank know your plans. This will help protect your account security while you're away.
  • Activate your travel insurance. If your Commonwealth Bank credit card offers included travel insurance, make sure you activate your policy through NetBank before you leave. If you need to make a claim, call +61 2 8907 5641.
  • Take note of the emergency contact details. When you're overseas, you can lock, block or limit transactions on your Commonwealth Bank credit card through NetBank or the CommBank app. You can also cancel the card and request a new one. If you want to speak to someone from Commonwealth Bank when you're overseas, call +61 2 9999 3283.
