Credit Card Comparison in Australia

In Australia, credit cards are an essential part of the way we pay for goods and services, with practically every adult resident holding one.

It is a very competitive market and that's why credit card comparison before you apply for your card or sign any paperwork, is essential.

Aussie Credit Card Products

Australian banks and financial institutions offer many different credit card products - each suited to a particular lifestyle or budget, from personal cards to business cards, from frequent users to others who just use their card a few times per year. Even those with a poor credit rating are catered for.

We advise you to compare credit cards thoroughly, bearing in mind your own spending habits and identifying which features are most important to you and your lifestyle.

Different Types Of Aussie Credit Cards

Right here on LowerBills you will find Aussie credit cards in the following categories:

  • Low Interest Rate cards

  • Balance Transfer Cards

  • No Annual Fee Cards

  • Business Credit Cards

  • Prepaid Debit cards

  • Co-branded Cards

  • Rewards Cards

  • Frequent Flyer Cards

  • Gold and Platinum Credit Cards

 

Card Issuing Companies in Australia

Australia has over 30 card issuing companies.

Some of the best known are American Express, ANZ Bank, Aussie, Bank of Queensland, Citibank, Commonwealth Bank, Credit Union Australia, HSBC Australia, Macquarie Bank, Qantas AMEX, St. George Bank, Suncorp Bank, Virgin Money and Woolworths.

Factors to Consider with Credit Card Comparison

When you compare credit cards the following factors need to be taken into account:

  • Interest Rates

  • Introductory or "honeymoon" rates

  • Interest Free Periods

  • Annual Fees

  • Cash Advance Rates

  • Balance Transfer Rate ( if applicable)

  • Rewards Programs

 

Consider which factors are MOST important to you - to do this you must consider how you will use your credit card and make your repayments.

Then you can do a credit card comparison based upon the most important factors.

Many cards are only available to those customers with good credit ratings, so check eligibility criteria before applying.
