Expert review

This is one of the few secured credit cards available in Australia, offering a more competitive interest rate when you secure your Heritage Bank Business Visa against some form of collateral. If you do get a secured account, you’ll enjoy an interest rate of 9.65% p.a. for purchases and cash advances. In comparison, an unsecured Heritage Bank Business Visa credit card account offers an interest rate of 11.95% p.a.
