Can a credit card really be kind to cardholders? Well, the NAB Low Rate Credit Card has a 0% p.a. purchase rate for 20 months and there's also a nice low annual fee of $59 and you won't be punished (well, not too harshly) for the odd late bill.
The NAB Low Rate Credit Card hits the ground running with a 12.99% p.a. purchase rate which is fairly standard for a low rate card, but the best part is, for the first 20 months you can make interest-free purchases. Just bear in mind a one-off 2% balance transfer fee also applies.
The late payment fee is $15 - hard to believe when loads of other cards will whack you with penalties of $35 and up - but with 55 days interest-free, you'd never stray into late-payment territory, right? And the fee for running over the limit? Nada.
It's a Visa card so you'll be able to Tap and Go on purchases under $100 and use it anywhere in the world where Visa is accepted. Keep in mind that overseas transactions (in person and online) will attract a 3% foreign exchange margin.This card could be great for people looking to repay debt over a longer timeframe.
Like most credit cards, the NAB Low Rate credit card has a high cash advance rate (21.74%) which will start accruing interest immediately if you withdraw cash using the card.

I have found my local NAB branch workers to be great. You can talk with them and they take the time to make sure you understand what they are telling you. Just very friendly people working there.

The ease of using the NAB app is why I’ve given an excellent score. Also when I’ve had to call customer service, it’s been quick and easy, speaking to Australian call takers.

I like that I can do everything online now. The few times I’ve needed to go to the branch the staff have been helpful.

I like using NAB because they credit your money forward early and their arm's are easy to use.

Why can't they look after long term customers with the same offers they make to new customers.

National Australia Bank is one of the big four banks who provide a large variety of financial products to the Australian Community. In recent times NAB has set itself apart from the other big four banks; by expanding their ATM network, removing many fees and maintaining low standard variable home loan rates. NAB's changes to its financial products have made their home loan, credit card, loans, savings accounts and personal loans more competitive within the banking industry.
