Unity Bank credit cards

When you rack up a balance on your Unity Bank credit card, you’ll have up to 55 days to pay it off before being charged interest. Just remember that these days don’t start when you make a purchase, but rather when your credit card statement cycle begins, which is usually toward the beginning of the month. So if you spend later in the month, you may have less than 55 days before interest begins to be charged.

When you snag a Unity Bank credit card, the annual fee is waived for the first year, but after that you’ll need to pay it, plus cash advance and foreign exchange fees.

Every month you’ll have to make a minimum payment on your credit card balance - although it’s always a good idea to pay off more if you can.

With a Unity Bank credit card, your minimum payment will either be $20 or 2% of your closing balance - whichever is the higher amount. If your total balance is less than $20, then your minimum payment will be the whole amount.

The credit card offering from Unity Bank is designed as a no-frills, no-fuss card, for affordable, convenient spending. Rewards aren’t exactly a priority in that schematic. So there’s no rewards program or freebies attached to your Unity Bank credit card.

Yes - but there’s a catch. With many balance transfer deals, you get a zero interest period to pay off the transferred balance and get your credit card debt under control. Unfortunately, with a balance transfer from Unity Bank, you don’t get this interest free period. You do get an initial period with super low interest - but after that any leftover balance will go back to being charged interest at the usual rate.

Yes it will. Your Unity Bank is a VISA card, so it will work wherever VISA is accepted - which is mostly anywhere in the world these days.

Just don’t forget to check the foreign exchange rates and account for foreign exchange fees in your travel budget!

Definitely. PayWave works on the VISA network, so you can use it to make contactless payments with your Unity Bank on spends under $100.

Credit cards are a super convenient way to spend, but the flip side is that you’ll need to be aware of the risk of credit card fraud.

Luckily, there are a few things you can do to keep your Unity Bank credit card safe. When you use your credit card:

 - Don’t use ATMs that are damaged - that’s often a sign that scammers have been tampering with them.

 - Keep your PIN a secret - don’t share it with anyone or write it down.

 - Make sure you cover your PIN when you use an EFTPOS machine or ATM

 - Keep an eye on your credit card statements. Look for any unusual or suspicious transactions, and if you find something, report it right away.
