Credit Card Applications in 4 Simple Steps

At LowerBills we take the confusion out of Australian credit card applications.

We understand that choosing a credit card involves 4 steps as follows:

 

1. Consider your own Financial Situation

  • Can you afford a credit card?
  • Why do you need a credit card?
  • Are you in debt? If so are you looking for a credit card to help you clear that debt?

 

2. Consider your own Spending and Repayment Habits

  • Do you need an emergency card?
  • Do you need a card for everyday payments or just online shopping?
  • Do you make regular repayments and stick to a budget?

 

3. Research and Compare Australian Credit Cards

  • Look at Interest rates, annual fees, interest-free periods, cash advance rates, balance transfer rates, rewards - and consider all aspects of every card - including the fine print. Decide which factors matter most to you.
  • Compare credit cards side by side and find the card that best suits your buying and repayment habits. Note the pluses and minuses.

 

4. Select and Submit Your Credit Card Applications Online

  • Make your credit card applications via secure links to the card issuers with LowerBills.

It can be a confusing process and it helps to have an effective process for finding the home loan that best suits you.

  • Will you need to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance if you buy now?
  • How much would you be able to borrow based upon your present finances?
  • How is your credit history?
  • Have you factored in Government charges for owning a home, as well as the mortgage?
