Expert review

The Hume Business Visa Residentially Secured credit card gives you a way to save on interest charges, with the lowest rate of any Hume Business Visa credit account. However, it does require you to use a residential property as collateral, so think carefully about whether this option will work for you.

Another key detail to keep in mind: any additional cardholders you add to this account must be members of Hume Bank.

Card benefits

Low interest rate. Get a 10.1% p.a. interest rate on business purchases made with the Hume Business Visa Residentially Secured credit card.
Loyalty program. Collect 1 point per $1 spent on eligible purchases, with every 500 points equal to $1 cashback. This is equivalent to a 0.2% cashback rate.

Interest-free days. If you pay the full closing balance on your account statement by the relevant due date, you can get up to 55 days interest-free on purchases.
Annual fee waiver. You can get the $60 annual fee waived for this account if you have spent $24,000 on purchases in the previous card year.
Additional cardholders. Get up to 9 additional cards for employees, with the option of setting spending limits for each one.

Cash advance rate. An interest rate of 19.95% p.a. applies for cash advance transactions. As these transactions are not eligible for interest-free days, interest will accrue from the date a cash advance transaction is added to your account balance.
