Mozo Review Commonwealth Bank Low Fee Credit Card Review
Last updated: 26 September 2019.
What's hot:
$0 annual fee for first year (and every year you spend over $1,000)
Up to 55 days interest free
What's not:
19.74% purchase rate
Mozo snapshot:
If you're after a credit card for your everyday spending that's low on fees, the Low Fee Credit Card from the Commonwealth Bank could be the answer. The annual fee of $29 is waived in the first year and for each subsequent year you spend at least $1,000 on the card. It also has all the features that you want in a credit card like up to 55 interest free days, fraud protection and worldwide access via the Mastercard network.
Key features:
The Commonwealth Bank Low Fee Credit Card really lives up to its name, with a $0 annual fee in the first year and then in subsequent years when you makes purchases totalling at least $1,000 a year using the card. If you don't hit that minimum, you'll need to pay the $29 annual fee.
The card also comes with 55 interest free days, as long as you pay your balance off in full each statement period. And you're going to want to do just that, otherwise you'll be stung with the relatively high purchase rate of 19.74%.
If you have existing credit card debt that you want to transfer over to the Low Rate Credit Card you will get a 5.99% balance transfer rate for five months, though be sure to knock down that debt in the low interest period as the remaining balance will get rolled over to the high 21.24% cash advance rate.
You can use the Commonwealth Bank Low Fee Card anywhere in the world where MasterCard is accepted - that's over 32 million locations in case you're wondering. If you are a frequent traveller or overseas online shopper there is a 3% international transaction fee to budget for though. And as a Low Fee cardholder you will get access to the Mastercard Priceless service which offers exclusive dining, entertainment and sporting events in a number of cities around the world including Sydney, Berlin, Hong Kong, Rome, Montreal, Chicago to name a few.
Who it's good for:
The Low Fee credit card is good for those that want the convenience of a credit card but don't want to pay for extras like concierge services or rewards points.
The Low Fee card also has a low minimum credit limit of $500 so it is a good card for anyone who wants to limit their monthly credit spending.
Any catches?
Be sure to keep a close eye on your repayment date as there is a $20 late payment fee, and try to pay your balance in full every month to avoid the 19.74% p.a. interest rate.

As long as you spend enough this card is very good
Very reliable. I'd prefer the annual fee to be lower but as long as you spend enough it gets waived.

It's a small branch where they know you. The service is good and the fees are low, plus there are no hidden fees. I've been with Commonwealth Bank for over 20 years. So far I'm happy with their overall service and have had no problems.
