The St George No Annual Fee Credit Card

Who says credit cards have to be expensive? If you know how to deal with credit correctly – and what to look for when choosing a card – credit cards can cost you zip. As long as you avoid fees and pay off your balance before it starts accruing interest, there’s no reason why you can’t enjoy access to credit for free.

If you’re interested in saving money on your credit card, the first thing to think about is how much you’re paying in annual fees. By choosing a credit card with no annual fee, you could save hundreds of dollars a year, while still enjoying the many benefits of having a credit card.

Sound good? Then check out the St George No Annual Fee Credit Card. This little money-saver charges no annual fee for the life of the card – and still offers some pretty neat features.

What we love…

The St George No Annual Fee Credit Card shapes up nicely within the no annual fee card market -- a card that charges a $0 annual fee ever.

You can also enjoy a nice low minimum credit limit of $500, helping to keep excessive spending in check, if needed.

Why should you choose this card?

There are two types of cardholders no annual fee cards generally attract. First, there are the money-savers. They want to keep costs down to a minimum by not paying annual fees on their credit card. Second, there are those who keep a credit card for emergencies. Using their debit card for day-to-day plastic payments, they keep their no annual fee card just in case they ever need access to credit.

If you fit into either of these categories, the St George No Annual Fee Credit Card could be for you. While it may not be jam-packed with features, it does offer three additional cardholders at no extra cost, Visa extras and security, and up to 55 days interest free on purchases.

Overall Rating

Offering the perfect way to save money on annual fees, this card has some decent extras.

This is my emergency card. I only use my debit card normally but I wanted a credit card just in case. I donâ??t pay an annual fee, and if I do use it then I pay it off straight away.

    Hi Stan, unfortunately it’s not possible to change certain elements of a credit card. It’s better to withdraw cash from debit cards to avoid the big fees of a credit card. Thanks, Stan!

    Hi Rene, I checked this for you but St.George No Annual Fee card does not indicate an exact salary amount. It only states that you have to have a regular and verifiable Australian taxable income.

Whats the difference between th 0% 12 month period and the 0% 55 day period?
    Pauline - CreditCard.com.au

    Pauline

    4 May 2022
    Hi Jamie, the 0% for 12 months is St.George No Annual Fee card’s current offer for purchases you make. This starts from when your card is approved for up to 12 months. The 55 days is the interest free period given to those who have no promotional interest free rate. You must pay at least the minimum amount on or before the due date indicated on the statement monthly so interest will not be charged.

I want to apply for this card. However, I am a casual employee and think that because of this I won't get approved. Recently I have been making about $1500 gross per week. I have only been working at my current job for about a month. Should I apply or wait until I have been working for over a year or have a full-time job? I just want a $500 credit limit.

    Hi Nick, credit card companies take many things into consideration when assessing your credit risk. Employment duration and salary are two of many factors that go into their decision. The lowest card we know of is the Bankwest Breeze Mastercard that sets its minimum income at $15.000 p.a. You can check out our guide to lower income credit cards, and compare a range of first time credit cards. Hope this has helped you out.

What is the fee for a monthly PAPER statement and what proof of income do I provide as a self-funded retiree?
    Pauline - CreditCard.com.au

    Pauline

    8 April 2022
    Hi Allan, the majority of providers have switched to electronic statements and with St.George you’ll need to order your credit card statements at a cost of $4.50 per statement. For proof of income you may need to provide your accountants details and other PAYG statements.

I work on average one day a week- semi retired, own home, no debts. Would my application likely be received favourably if I meet all other criteria?
    Pauline - CreditCard.com.au

    Pauline

    4 April 2022
    Hi Wendy, we can’t comment on your situation directly as each bank and provider process every application individually. They’ll take into account your income and debts, along with many other factors. Some credit cards have lower income requirements starting from $25,000. Read our reviews carefully and then compare side by side to understand the pros and cons involved.

    Hi Chris, upon checking, it’s not stated in St.George’s terms of any fee if you choose to receive paper statements. However, it indicated in their FAQ that you can request to receive paper statements at any time via mobile/internet banking. Otherwise give them a call directly on 1300 555 203.

No Fee credit card means ever? I am a pensioner is it available to me? Is St George owned by Wespac? I am currently a customer of St George and Wespac is now introducing a fee on my card I have held with them for 20 years. Not happy

    Hi Wayne, correct - the St.George No Annual Fee Credit Card doesn't ever charge an annual fee. It's $0 every year you have the card, not just a promotion for the first year. And yes, while it is a separate bank, St.George is a part of Westpac group.

hi, i have never owned a credit card before. what i need it for is i am setting up an online business. As products are bought from me they are then produced by a manufacturer who charges me before i would get the money from my customer. i plan to have the payments to the manufacturer come off the credit card and and as soon as i receive payment from the customer, pay the card off. what i need to know is that there will be no extra costs/interest whatsoever assosiated provided i pay the card off in time, which i have read is within 55 days. also, what happens after havung the card for over a year? an annual fre begins? thank you for your time.

    Hi Gordon, its up to 55 days interest free. It depends on when you buy in your billing cycle to how many interest free days you get. I suggest you do one of our free intro credit card courses. Just to get your head around the basics. https://edu.creditcard.com.au/courses/credit-card-essentials

Hi, I am hoping to apply for a balance transfer credit card and transfer the balance from a card in another person's name. Will St George accept this? If not, do you know which banks might? Thanks so much.
    Roland B Bleyer - CreditCard.com.au Founder

    Roland

    28 October 2019
    Hi Nicole, a balance transfer must be between the same legal person. Therefore no bank will accept a transfer from someone else's name than the applicant. A longer way around would be to get a low rate personal loan. Then look to get a balance transfer later on of that personal loan. This is a 2 step process and the risk is that you cannot get the balance transfer for the loan. Though the personal loan interest rate may be much better than the credit card. Therefore reducing the interest paid on the outstanding amount.
