Expert review

The NAB Low Fee Card cardholders can save with a low annual fee and 0% p.a. balance transfer offer. It’s one of the shortest interest-free balance transfer offers on the market, so make sure that you can repay your debt in full before the revert rate applies.

How to apply

You can apply for the NAB Low Fee card online in 25 minutes and get a response in 60 seconds. Before you start the application, check if you meet the eligibility requirements and have the necessary information ready:

Eligibility criteria

  • Residency. You can apply if you're an Australian citizen or permanent resident. If you are not a citizen or permanent resident, you will need to have an acceptable visa. Many visas are acceptable but the following are not: Visitor Visa (exception, a Special Category Visa - NZ Citizen is acceptable), Working Holiday, Student, Exchange/gap year, Transit/short stay/seasonal, and Bridging.
  • Eligible balance transfer debt. You must apply for the balance transfer at the time of application and you can transfer up to 90% of your available credit limit from non-NAB Australian credit cards.

Card benefits

  • Purchase protection insurance. NAB Purchase Protection Insurance provides complimentary cover for three months against theft, accidental damage or loss for personal retail goods purchased anywhere in the world. Exclusions, limits and terms and conditions apply so check the NAB Purchase Protection Policy Insurance Booklet (available via NAB) for full details.
  • Free additional card. You can request an additional cardholder to be linked to the account at no additional cost.

Rates & fees

  • Purchase interest rate. This card charges a 19.74% p.a. purchase interest rate.
  • Interest-free days. Receive up to 44 interest-free days on purchases when you pay your balance in full, or if your statement shows an interest free days amount, in full, by the statement due date.

      Hi Dhiraj,

      Thanks for getting in touch with Finder. I hope all is well with you. :)

      Yes, you can do a balance transfer from BankSA even if you are a temporary Australian resident provided that you meet the eligibility requirements of your chosen bank.

      You can also use our comparison table to help you compare credit cards for temporary residents. You can press the name of the card or the “More info” link to get more information about the card’s balance transfer rate and conditions. When you are ready, you may then click on the “Go to site” button and you will be redirected to the bank’s website where you can proceed with the application or get in touch with their representatives for further inquiries you may have.

      Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you. You can also contact the provider if you have specific questions.

      I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out again.

      Have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Joshua

      Thank you for contacting finder. We are a comparison website and general information service, we’re more than happy to offer general advice.

      The ongoing purchase rate on this card is 19.74% p.a and yes it still applies. Also this card has a standard balance transfer rate of 0% p.a. for 6 months which reverts to the standard cash advance rate. The cash advance rate on this card is 21.74% p.a.

      I hope this helps.

      Cheers,
