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 needs.

• Balance transfer credit cards

If you want to pay off existing debt you have on a card from another Australian financial institution, you can request a balance transfer to a new Commonwealth Bank credit card during your application. You’ll be required to provide details of your existing account for the transfer, so make sure to have these on hand before you apply for your chosen CommBank credit card. Once your application is approved, it can take up to 10 business days for the card to be delivered. Please note balance transfers are subject to approval. Refer to this guide for more information on balance transferring with Commonwealth Bank.

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:

• Commonwealth Bank included travel insurance policy

Commonwealth Bank's included insurance policies are an extra benefit for Commonwealth Bank Gold, Platinum and Diamond cardholders and are provided by Allianz Global Assistance. You can refer to the Commonwealth Bank Credit Card Insurances product disclosure statement available on the CommBank website for full details of the types of insurance available, requirements and claim limits for each card.

• Commonwealth Bank Awards Program

The Awards program allows you to earn points when you use your CommBank Awards credit card for eligible transactions. You can redeem these points for over 1,000 items available through the CommBank Awards Program or in-store at Myer or Flight Centre. You can also transfer points to an eligible Velocity Frequent Flyer account or opt-in to Qantas Frequent Flyer Direct and have your Awards points transferred to your Qantas membership account on a monthly basis. Minimum transfer amounts and other terms and conditions apply and there is a $30 annual fee for opting-in to Qantas Frequent Flyer Direct.

• Mastercard benefits

Commonwealth Bank Mastercard credit card holders get access to a number of Mastercard benefits, including:

• Mastercard PayPass. For transactions under $100, just touch your Commonwealth Bank Mastercard against a contactless terminal and your transaction will be completed in a matter of seconds.
• Mastercard fraud guarantee. If your account is compromised while you’re using the Mastercard payment networks (shopping over the counter or online), the Mastercard Zero Liability protection may cover the cost of fraudulent charges.
• Global acceptance. Mastercard credit cards are accepted in millions of locations all over the world. Use your card to shop online, make purchases over the counter and withdraw cash from ATMs everywhere Mastercard is accepted.

Features available on Commonwealth Bank credit cards

Here are some of the features you can also get with a CommBank credit card:

• Balance transfers

You can request a balance transfer from another financial institution or store card when you apply for a new Commonwealth Bank credit card. If you already have a Commonwealth Bank credit card, you can also apply for a balance transfer through NetBank. Please note balance transfer requests are subject to approval.

• Reduced annual fee

As well as the low fee credit card options, CommBank offers a one-year annual fee waiver if you apply for an eligible Commonwealth Bank credit card at the same time as your home loan application. (This offer excludes business liability credit cards, corporate cards and personal liability business credit cards without Awards.) Note that both the credit card and home loan applications will be subject to credit approval.

• Online banking through NetBank

NetBank is an online banking tool for CommBank customers. NetBank makes managing your Commonwealth Bank credit card account easy. You can also apply for other Commonwealth Bank products and services through NetBank, view recent purchases on your credit card account and make payments.

• CommBank Awards American Express card options

With the CommBank Awards, Gold, Platinum and Diamond credit cards, you receive an American Express card and a Mastercard linked to the same account. While both cards share the same credit limit and interest rate, they earn different amounts of points per $1 spent on eligible purchases. This means you can switch between the Amex and Mastercard to maximise your rewards.

How to apply for Commonwealth Bank credit cards

You can apply for a Commonwealth Bank credit card online in a few minutes. 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.
• 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, so make sure you check the specified conditions for any product you wish to apply for.
• Credit history. You must not be an undischarged bankrupt.

Other conditions may apply depending on the card. You can find this information listed on our 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 (such as your weekly food budget).
• 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.

What happens next when applying for a CBA credit card?

After applying for a Commonwealth Bank credit card, you will be kept informed as to the progress of your application. CommBank will contact you if more information is required during this process.

If your application is approved and you are new to the Commonwealth Bank, you will need to undergo an identity check. Commonwealth Bank will contact you with details of what you need to provide as proof of identification but typically this will include your Australian State or Territory driver's licence or passport.

After all this information has been fully verified and the application process is complete, you will receive your Commonwealth Bank credit card within 10 working days. You can then activate your new CBA credit card via NetBank, in a branch or by calling 13 22 21.

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. These types of transaction include cash advances, paying government fees and charges, and credit card fees and charges. Check the Commonwealth Bank Awards terms and conditions for a full list of transactions that are ineligible to earn Commonwealth Bank Awards Points.

• Does the annual fee collect interest?

  The annual 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).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.

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

  The amount you can balance transfer varies depending on your personal financial circumstances, the credit card and your approved credit limit. If the available credit on your Commonwealth Bank account cannot accommodate the full dollar amount you wish to transfer, CommBank will transfer a portion of your available limit.

• When does my balance transfer promotion begin?

  Once you submit a request for a balance transfer, it will be processed within 5-10 working days. Any applicable balance transfer offer will begin after this time. Please continue to make necessary payments on your existing account until the balance transfer has been fully processed.

• 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.
