Frequently Asked Questions about Bank First credit cards

How may interest free days do I get on my Bank First credit card?

No matter which credit card you go for from Bank First, you’ll have up to 55 days to pay off your balance before being charged interest on it. This interest free period starts at the beginning of your statement cycle, so if you make a purchase on the first day of your cycle, you’ll have the full 55 days to pay it off, but after that, you’ll have less.

Also keep in mind that to get your hands on these interest free days, you need to be paying your entire balance off month after month.

What fees might I be charged?

If you opt for the classic credit card from Bank First, you’ll skip the annual fee and just have cash advance and foreign exchange fees to contend with, as well as any late payment or dishonour fees you rack up.

If you’d rather the premium version, you’ll pay these, plus an annual fee.

What’s the minimum repayment amount I must make?

Each month you’ll receive a credit card statement that tells you the minimum payment you must make on your credit card balance.

For a Bank First credit card, this amount will be either $20 or 5% of your balance, whichever is the larger amount.

What rewards will I earn with my Bank First credit card?

Although there isn’t a rewards program attached to your Bank First credit card, if you opt for the premium card, you will get access to a 24/7 concierge service, complimentary travel insurance and you’ll automatically become members of the Visa Entertainment program, which offers exclusive discounts on a bunch of cool stuff.

If you’d rather opt for a credit card option with a more comprehensive rewards program attached, check out these great rewards cards.

Can I use my Bank First credit card for a balance transfer?

Yes you can, but we have bad news - although you’ll get a nice low rate on balances transferred to your Bank First credit card, you won’t get a zero interest period, like you would on many other balance transfer options.

If you’d like to cash in on this great 0% interest offer, head over to our balance transfer comparison here.

Will my Bank First credit card work overseas?

Being a VISA card, your Bank First card will work all around the world - wherever VISA is accepted.

Can I use payWave with my Bank First credit card?

Sure can. Bank First credit cards run on the VISA system - which means you can make buys under $100 and pay for them using the contactless payment system payWave.

How can I keep my Bank First credit card secure?

While security may not be at the top of your mind when you hit the shops, it's important to keep your credit card details safe. So here are our top tips to do that:

Never use an ATM that looks damaged - it may be a sign scammers have tampered with the machine

Never share your details via email. They won’t be secured against online hackers this way.

Any email from Bank First asking for your secure details or prompting you to follow a link to update your secure details is likely a scam. Don’t reply and instead report it to the bank right away.

Be vigilant and aware of your surroundings when you use your credit card in public

Choose a PIN number that you can easily remember, but that other people won’t guess

Excellent customer service with good rates.

I can talk to a consultant easily either via phone, online or by visiting the bank. If I visit the bank, I am asked re the issue and within seconds I am speaking to someone. There is usually no lining up or waiting periods to talk to someone.
