The ANZ Low Rate credit card has everything a good credit card should have: a low 12.49% interest rate on purchases and a low $58 annual fee (waived in the first year). Plus, if you need to get rid of some pesky debt, pick up a 0% balance transfer offer for 20 months without being charged a balance transfer fee.
With many credit cards having interest rates of 19.00% and over, you could save money by switching to the ANZ low rate card. That's because this card has an ongoing purchase rate of 12.49%.
The card also comes with a relatively low annual fee of $58, which is actually waived for new cardholders in the first year. Just be sure to set up automatic monthly repayments or you'll have to pay a $20 late payment fee.
If you need to clear some lingering credit card debt, you can take advantage of a 20 month balance transfer period with 0% interest, and you won't incur a balance transfer fee. Just bear in mind that once the balance transfer period is up, any remaining balance will be subject to an interest rate of 20.24%.
If you are travelling overseas you can use your low rate card wherever Mastercard is accepted. You will have to pay a 3.00% foreign currency conversion on all purchases made using your ANZ Low Rate card overseas.
The ANZ Low Rate card is good for anyone who is looking for a low cost credit card for their online and day-to-day purchases. To get your hands on it, you'll need to be 18 or over, and be a permanent Australian resident or a non-permanent resident with more than 9 months remaining on your Visa.
Don't be tempted to use the credit card for cash withdrawals otherwise you will be paying a high 20.24%.

I've held this account for several years and have never ever had a problem with it or the bank. That's good enough for me to be able to recommend it.

Okay credit card, no frills but low rate. On par with other banks.

I love my credit card with ANZ but I noticed that when COVID-19 hit I remember the government said not to add interest and they added a $64 interest 3 times during COVID-19 lockdowns. That’s really no good.
