The Bank of Melbourne No Annual Fee Credit Card

With no annual fee ever, the card keeps costs low as you work on clearing your balance, while also offering functional features that make it a great low cost everyday card.

What we love...

Offer or no offer, this is a good low cost card to keep in your wallet. You will pay no annual fee on the card ever, plus, you can add up to three additional cards to the account at no extra cost. If you want family members to have access to credit using your account, this helps to keep things simple with one credit card account to keep track of, and one payment to make each month.

What’s not so great...

While this card may help you save on annual fees, it is not a totally low rate card as the standard purchase rate is at 20.74% p.a. Thus, it is best to be aware, and actively clear your balance every statement period. If you tend to carry a balance, you may want to look at low rate cards to help you to keep interest costs as low as possible.

Why should you choose this card?

With a $500 minimum credit limit, the Bank of Melbourne No Annual Fee Credit Card can work well for cardholders who want to reduce the temptation to overspend, or who simply want to keep a low minimum credit limit. As a no annual fee card, it’s a great choice for anyone who doesn’t want to pay for access to credit, or for those who want to keep a card for emergencies.

Of course, with this being a Visa, it provides all the standard features you would expect to find on this type of card. Verified by Visa can offer protection while shopping online, and Visa payWave can make paying at the checkout faster and easier. Bank of Melbourne provides access to the account via phone and internet banking, with fraud monitoring included as standard.

What is the minimum income required for the NO Fee and Vertigo credit cards?
    Pauline - CreditCard.com.au

    Hi Rod, many banks don’t give out minimum income information anymore. For this card, it says your income must be regular and verifiable as Australian taxable income, but no dollar amount is given. Cards with no annual fee generally have lower income requirements, so all you can do is make sure you meet the other eligibility criteria and can prove your income and expenditure are in a good place. For more info you can contact them directly at 13 22 66.Thanks!

I am on a permanent disability pension. Can I get a credit card? I have no debts and my only other income is interest on my savings. Thank you.

    Hi Marc, yes this is possible. No annual fee cards tend to be harder to get approval. Though this would be one of the easier ones. BOM can see your pension as income. Approval will depend heavily on affordability. Income v expenses, assets v liabilities and your credit and payment history.

Hi! I am here in Oz working with a 457 visa. Is there any possibility to get a credit card? I have been here for 7 months and i can only show my bank statement from my payroll as proof of my capacity to pay. I am renting a room and have no car because my work is just a 15 minute walk from home. Cheers!
