Outstandingly low fees

There are almost next to no annual fees, and cash advance and monthly fees are always very low. I would recommend this card to anyone to who is wanting to pay their credit card off.

Low fees, regular updates, great service

This is a great credit card for students. It has low fees, I get sent regular updates, and I have the mobile app on my phone. I can use the deposit ATMs at any time, so it’s very convenient. If I have any troubles I call and the customer service team help out. I would recommend…

Low cost and easy to use

It’s a very low cost card. I’ve owned this card since before I’ve been with Commonwealth Bank, ever since I started working. This card allows me to use my money easily, via online shopping or in a store. I have not had a single problem with it. I’d recommend it to anyone.

Low fees, great service, simple to use

I have been happy with this card and bank from day one. It combines low fees and simplicity. Customer service is also always on point. I have full trust in the security on this card also and I feel confident that if I were to have any troubles the friendly customer service staff…

Low-fee, low-limit emergency card

As it’s a low fee card, you don’t need to worry about getting smacked with a hefty sum once a year for something you use merely as a back-up. I have the card because the minimum credit limit is quite low, so you can keep it tucked away for emergencies without having to worry…

Good first time credit card for younger people

This is a great option for younger people who may not be able to afford the high fees of some banks. It is great for students or younger people as it saves you money annually and the interest rates are not too high. You can get up to 55 days interest free, which is perfect for…

Great for a low income earner

This card is great for emergencies and also for online shopping — a card for things like car rego or insurance as well as smaller online buys. I am able to pay off this card in small bits or sometimes bigger bits, so it’s great for a low income earner. It lets me be in control…

Superb for travelling without added worries

I’m happy with my low fee credit card, as with all purchases made I get a 55 day interest-free period. Also, if I spend a certain amount each year, my annual credit card fee is waived. Transactions with this card are displayed instantly in real-time too. Customer support with…

Decent low cost card but high purchase rate

The annual fee is waived in the first year (usually $29) and each year you spend at least $1000 on the card in the previous year. It has all the features that you want in a credit card, like up to 55 interest-free days, fraud protection and worldwide access via the MasterCard…
