If you love to shop, this lower interest rate credit card may be just for you. For a limited time, a new Vertigo MasterCard comes with a low 2.99% p.a. on purchases for the first 6 months* from when the account is opened. Once the promotional period is over, the Vertigo MasterCard then reverts to one of Australia’s lowest variable rates on purchases - currently just 11.99% p.a. (20.74% p.a. variable rate on cash advances). You could save even more on interest by transferring a balance from a non-BankSA card to your Vertigo MasterCard and receive 2.99% p.a. on balance transfers for up to 6 months**.
Interest rates quoted current as at 11/3/2010 and subject to change. All applications for credit are subject to the Bank's prevailing credit criteria. Fees, charges, terms and conditions apply and full details are available upon request.
* The introductory rate of 2.99% p.a. on purchases for the first 6 months is only applicable on credit purchases (excludes cash advances) made using your Vertigo MasterCard within 6 months from the date your account is opened. After that 6 month period, the introductory purchase interest rate of 2.99% p.a. will switch to the standard purchase interest rate (currently 11.99% p.a. and variable) then applicable to the Vertigo MasterCard. Promotion is only available for a limited time and excludes customers who switch from an existing BankSA card.
** If your application for credit is approved, the special balance transfer rate period commences on the date the account is opened. The special Balance Transfer interest rate period ends 6 months later, regardless of when any balance transfer request is processed by us. On the date the special balance transfer rate period ends the interest rate on the outstanding transferred balances reverts to the standard variable rate applying to purchases. Any interest free period for purchases does not apply while an amount that has been debited as a result of a balance transfer remains unpaid. Balance Transfers will not be accepted from personal loan, overdraft, business or St.George Bank which is a member of The Westpac Group or international credit card accounts.
*** 55 days interest free on purchases only on accounts paid in full by the due date. Interest free period does not apply to cash advances or any purchases while an amount that has been debited as a result of a balance transfer remains unpaid.
