Types of credit cards from Regional Australia Bank
Low rate credit cards
The Regional Australia Bank Your Choice Credit Card has a 14.69% p.a. interest rate for purchases and cash advances, with discounted rates available if you have an eligible home loan with the bank. It also has a $40 annual fee that's competitive with other low rate cards, although it is still worth comparing your options to help you choose one that works for you.
Frequent flyer credit cards
The Regional Australia Bank Visa Platinum Rewards Card gives you a way to earn Qantas Points on all your eligible spending, including groceries, fuel, dining and retail shopping. It also offers an annual 10,000 bonus Qantas Points for each year you keep the account in good standing. It has an annual fee of $195, which is waived if you have an active Partnership Advantage home loan under the same membership account. While it does offer a platinum concierge, some other frequent flyer credit cards offer lounge access and complimentary insurance, so make sure you compare cards before you decide to apply.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
