Looking for one of Australia's most budget-friendly pieces of plastic? Look no further than Police Bank's Visa Credit Card. With a low 10.76% purchase rate and no annual fee in the first year ($30 afterwards), you'll be able to save money on fees as well as interest.
What's great about the Police Bank Visa Card is that you don't even have to be in the police service to get the benefits of its low rate credit card, it is available to all Australian residents.
You will get up to 55 days interest free on new purchases (as long as you pay your balance off in full each month) or you will pay 10.76%. This interest rate also applies to cash advances but unlike purchases cash advances will start accruing interest immediately so it is best to avoid these if you can.
With Visa access, you can shop online or in person around the world wherever Visa cards are accepted. International purchases however will attract a 3% foreign exchange margin so be sure to factor that into any online shopping budget. For purchases under $100 you can use the Visa payWave feature of the card and just tap and go!
Be sure to automate your payments or you could find that you will be up for a $10 late payment fee.
Australians looking for a credit card with a relatively low interest rate and a low annual fee.
Branch locations are limited but this shouldn't put you off. The account comes with internet banking and telephone banking access for easy account management.

why use one of the 4 banks when this bank interest rate is lower than any of them,and they treat you as a customer,and watch over your banking for frauds
