Credit card interest

Compare interest rates on over 250 credit cards and find the best in Australia.

A few interest points could make the difference between care free spending and months of debt. Why then would anyone apply for a high interest card? The answer lies in the extra benefits they offer, including a larger credit limit and broad reward programs.

Low interest rate cards on the other hand usually offer low ongoing fees and introductory rates on balance transfers. However, late payments can make your interest rates double before your eyes.

Also, be careful about going over the low credit limits, or taking out cash advances which could attract much higher rates.

Many people sign up to a new credit card for the 0% introductory rate. While this is certainly attractive, be sure to pay off your debts before the rate soars.

This comparison table shows you the cheapest credit cards in Australia, all with interest rates below 12%.
