Low rate credit cards

Do you tend to carry a balance on your credit card? If you’re likely to forget a payment (or two) then a low rate credit card is a great way to keep interest costs down. There’s only one offering from NAB, but with a low rate and plenty of interest free days, how can you go wrong? A low rate card is also a great option if you’re looking to manage credit card debt with a balance transfer deal.

Low fee credit cards

NAB have just one low fee offering, but if you’re someone who makes a habit of paying off your full credit card balance each and every month, it might be worth a look! It comes with reasonably high interest rate attached, so make sure you take full advantage of your interest free days if you opt for this low fee option.

Frequently Asked Questions about NAB credit cards

How many interest free days will I get with a NAB credit card?

Making the most of your interest free days is one of the best ways to minimise debt and keep your credit card balance under control. Most NAB cards offer 44 interest free days, but remember that this period starts at the beginning of your statement cycle - not when you make the purchase - so depending on when you hit the shops, you may have less than 44 days to pay the balance off.

What fees might I be charged?

To have a NAB credit card in your wallet, you’ll pay an annual fee, which is different for each different type of card. Other fees that could apply include all the regulars - like late payment, cash advance or international transactions fees. Some of them, like late payment fees, are set dollar amounts, while others, including international transaction fees, will be calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount.

What is the minimum monthly payment I must make on a NAB credit card?

This one gets a bit tricky, because there are two payments you might see on your NAB credit card statement. The first is the monthly payment. To work out what your monthly payment might be, check out our table below:

Closing balanceMonthly payment
Less than $25The whole balance
$25 - $1,250$25
More than $1,2502% of your closing balance

After that, comes your total minimum payment, which is the amount you need to pay off that month. Sometimes this is the same as your monthly payment, but if you went over your credit limit last month or you have payments overdue on your account then it will be different.

In this case, the higher amount will be added to your monthly payment to get your total minimum payment. 

Confused? Here’s an example: If your closing balance was $300, your monthly payment would be $25. But, say you didn’t pay off your total minimum balance last month, and still owe $40, plus, this month, you bought a new laptop, which pushed you $30 over your credit card limit. The higher amount - $40 - will be added to your $25 monthly payment to get your total minimum payment for this month - $65. This can build up quickly, until you find yourself with big repayments to make and even bigger debt behind them. For more info on keeping your repayments under control, check out our guide on managing your credit card balance.

Can I use paypass or paywave with my NAB credit card?

Depending on what NAB credit card you opt for, you’ll be using either the VISA, MasterCard or AMEX system, all of which offer contactless payment options.

Can I use my NAB credit card while I’m travelling overseas?

Absolutely! As mentioned above, there are fees for foreign transactions, but Visa and Mastercard are both widely accepted around the world, so your NAB credit card is too. Premium cards even offer complimentary travel insurance, so if you don’t want the comprehensive cover of a standalone travel insurance policy, it might be very handy to have your credit card with you.
But keep in mind that you might end up hit with ATM fees, cash withdrawal fees and changing exchange rates. If you don’t want that hassle, check out a prepaid travel card for your next trip.

What kind of insurance options does my NAB credit card offer?

NAB platinum credit cards offer seven different complimentary insurance covers, including:

• Purchase protection insurance

• Extended warranty insurance

• Price protection insurance

• Overseas travel insurance

• Interstate flight inconvenience insurance

• Transport accident insurance

• Domestic hotel burglary insurance

What rewards options do I have with my NAB rewards credit card?

If you’ve got a NAB rewards card, you can choose between NAB's own rewards program, or a Qantas Frequent Flyer option, which allows you to funnel your rewards points straight into the Qantas Frequent Flyer Program. You can then redeem them in the Qantas store for a bunch of retail products, or use them on travel arrangements, like flights, accommodation or rental cars.

Read our guide on calculating rewards points to make sure you’re getting the most out of your rewards credit card.

What happens if I am the victim of credit card fraud?

Credit card fraud is something you should definitely be aware of when using a credit card. For your peace of mind, NAB monitors card activity 24/7, so if an unusual transaction is made on your account, they can block the card, just in case. 

On the flip side, this means that if you’re travelling and plan to use your credit card, you should let the bank know before you go, so they don’t mistakenly lock you out of your account while overseas. NAB also offers a 100% money back guarantee in the case of credit card fraud.

NAB Reward Point changes devalue Credit Cards

Have had a NAB QANTAS Signature card for many years and have been satisfied with the product. But, have just read up on changes proposed to earning reward points for purchases paid for through BPAY against a credit card. If I have read what was provided correctly, theses transactions will no longer earn reward points. As these types of transactions are used to pay many household and other bills, believe NAB has significantly devalued the product and missed the mark about why customers have this type of hard. In my case, will have to rethink how I use the card and whether I will keep it.
