Our verdict

Offers a low introductory rate of 2.99% p.a. for 6 months, but the variable rate that applies after that depends on your application.

The People’s Choice Credit Union Visa Credit Card offers simple and relatively low-cost features. It is one of the only credit cards that has different ongoing variable interest rates, charging either 15.75% p.a. or 12.95% p.a. based on your application and financial situation. Both these rates are lower than the average credit card interest rate in Australia, which is around 20%. But as the exact rate is only confirmed after you apply, make sure you factor both into your comparison.

Pros

  • Introductory 2.99% p.a. interest rate for purchases, cash advances and balance transfers in the first 6 months.
  • Competitive $59 annual fee.
  • Works with Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay digital wallets.

Cons

  • The variable interest rate of either 15.75% p.a. or 12.95% p.a. depends on your application, so you won't know until after you apply.
  • No rewards or perks like complimentary insurance.

The People’s Choice Credit Union Visa Credit Card has a $59 annual fee that's competitive with other no-frills cards. It also offers up to 62 days interest-free on purchases when you pay your balance in full by the statement due date, which is one of the longer interest-free day periods on the market. But if you only pay off some of your balance each month, interest charges will add up faster if you're offered the higher, 15.75% p.a. variable rate on this card.
