Benefits of getting a credit card with Newcastle Permanent

  • Account management

You can check your balance and manage your account with Internet banking or the Newcastle Permanent mobile app. You also have the option of banking over the phone by calling 13 19 12, or visiting a branch in NSW.

  • Balance transfers

You can use the Value+ Credit Card to transfer balances from existing credit cards or store cards by submitting a completed balance transfer application form (available on the Newcastle Permanent website). Keep in mind that any transferred balances will attract the card's interest rate once the transfer is complete. This is different to balance transfer credit cards that offer a low or 0% interest rate for an introductory period, so it's worth comparing a few options to find one that helps you save on costs.
