Why compare with Finder?

No spam calls

You won't receive any callbacks from Finder if you compare with us.

Perks obssessed

We live track and crunch the data on 250+ cards every day (no, really!).

All the card types you want

Balance transfer? Rewards? Low rate? We cover them all.

What is a credit card?

A credit card lets you spend money that you can pay back over time, usually with interest.

Unlike a debit card – where you need money in the bank – a credit card gives you a set amount you can spend (or borrow), known as your credit limit. You also get regular statements (usually monthly) and need to make repayments by the due date on them.

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years old to apply for a credit card in your name.

Our expert says

"When comparing credit cards, decide what's most important to you. Is it a low interest rate? Low annual fee? Bonus frequent flyer points? Maybe a balance transfer deal? For instance, I pay my balance in full each month, so I ignore the interest rates and don’t look at balance transfer offers. Instead, I aim to find cards with a great points earning rate. Knowing exactly what you want, makes it easier to find the right card for you."

What types of credit cards are there?

There are 6 main types of credit cards. Every card is slightly different, so you should compare credit cards to find the best credit card that has the features that matter to you.

How to compare credit cards

Here's a breakdown of features and charges you should look at when doing a credit card comparison.

  1. Find the right type of cardWant Qantas Points? Get a frequent flyer card that lets you earn points when you spend. Need a simple, cheap card for everyday spending? Look at low rate or no annual fee cards.
  2. Look at the purchase rateCredit cards charge high interest rates. But only if you don't pay the card off on time.
  3. Count your interest free daysOne of the best features of a credit card, interest-free days let you buy something today and pay no interest for up to 55 days. How it actually works in practice is a little complicated though.
  4. Look at all the perks and benefits the card offersSome credit cards give you reward or frequent flyer points, purchase protection or complimentary travel insurance, cashback on your spending or other rewards. The more perks a card offers the higher the annual fee. So if you don't use them, you're wasting money.

Credit cards 101

There are lots of confusing terms in credit card land. Here's a quick explainer:

  • Balance transfer rate. The interest rate you'll pay if you transfer a balance from one card to another. Most introductory offers are for 0% p.a. on your balance, but you may pay a one-time fee.
  • Cash advances. Try not to withdraw cash from an ATM or use your card to gamble or buy foreign currencies. These transactions are considered cash advances and they come with a fee plus a higher interest rate (which you get charged immediately).
  • Credit card network. The payment system that processes all your credit card transactions. In Australia most cards are either Visa, Mastercard or American Express.
  • Foreign transaction fees. This is the fee you'll be charged on purchases made in a foreign currency overseas or online. Some cards have 0% foreign fees.
  • Minimum repayment. You can repay all your card spending each month. Or you can pay it off slowly (and get charged interest). The minimum repayment is the lowest amount you must pay by the due date. Miss this, and you'll get charged a fee.

Expert insight: Why credit card records matter

"Maintaining these records helps you track your spending, verify transactions, and catch any errors or fraudulent activities promptly. They are also useful for budgeting, filing taxes, and providing proof of purchase or payment if disputes arise. Keeping organised and accessible records of your statements, whether in digital or paper form, ensures you have a comprehensive financial history that can be referenced whenever necessary."

Pros & cons of credit cards

Pros

  • Flexibility. If you have a big purchase to make, a credit card can be a financial "buffer" – letting you buy it and then repay it over time. If it’s used wisely, it can be interest free.
  • Convenience. Credit cards allow you to buy what you need, when you need it. You can use them to shop in-store, online and overseas, with security features to protect against fraud.
  • Rewards. Everyone loves perks. A credit card can help you get frequent flyer points, cashback on your groceries, flight upgrades or even gift cards.

Cons

  • Debt. Credit card interest adds up quickly if you don't pay your balance on time, which could cost you hundreds (or thousands) of dollars and take a long time to pay back.
  • Can be expensive. The average interest rate for an Australian credit card is around 20%, RBA stats show. In comparison, the average interest rate for a variable rate personal loan is 14.41%.
  • Sneaky fees and surcharges. Some businesses add a surcharge to credit card payments, which can be 1–2% of the total purchase cost.
Bottom line? Credit cards have a mix of great perks and understandable risks. A good rule of thumb is to compare credit cards to ensure you get one with the features you need, while having a plan for paying it off and using the benefits.

What's happening in credit cards in March 2026?

EXPERTREVIEW

By Finder's senior money editor, Richard Whitten.

Australians spent $465.281 billion on their credit cards in the last 12 months, according to the latest figures. This is a record high.

The average Australian credit card balance is $3,582 per card. The average unpaid credit card balance (which carries interest charges) is now $1,749.

Young Australians are driving the growth in credit card use. Card applications among Gen Z grew 15% in 2025 compared to 2024.

In terms of credit card offers, the longest 0% balance transfer offer on the market in March is a Finder exclusive, the ANZ Low Rate Balance Transfer Exclusive Offer, which gives new ANZ customers 0% for 28 months with a 2.5% balance transfer fee.

For frequent flyers, Qantas recently announced changes to Qantas Status Credits, including the ability to roll over credits from one year to the next. But you'll also need to earn more credits to high the higher status tiers.

      Hi Wendy,

      Thank you for your inquiry.

      This page on getting your first credit card may be helpful as it discusses why you’d get a credit card and if you’re ready for it.

      There are eligibility criteria to consider to check if you are qualified to apply for the credit card. This would include income requirements. Also, you’d need to take note that multiple credit card applications may affect your score so it’s best to read all the details first before applying for the card.

      To make the most of your credit history, aim to pay your credit card account balance off in full by the due date on each statement.

      I hope this helps.

      Best,
      Maria

    What attributes should i look for in a credit card for the sole purpose of online shopping?
    I have the money in my saving so as soon as a purchase is made with the card, it will be paid off immediately, but i don’t want to use a debt card due to security reasons.

      JonathanSeptember 6, 2017

      Hello Derek,

      Thank you for your question.

      No, you don’t have to. Usually, your credit card issuer will be sending a replacement card automatically before expiry date. It can be as short as few weeks or a month prior.

      Please make sure that you dispose the old card properly once you have activated the new one. Refer to the instructions written on the mail enclosed on how to proceed.

      Hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      Jonathan
