Our verdict

Offers a $0 annual fee in the first year and a 12.99% purchase rate, but no interest-free days for purchases.

The ANZ Business Low Rate Credit Card has the bank’s lowest annual fee and purchase interest rate in its business card range. Its 12.99% p.a. interest rate for purchases is at the low end of the scale for business credit cards in Australia. But unlike many other cards, it doesn't offer interest-free days on purchases. So, it's typically more suited to small and medium businesses that carry a balance from month-to-month.

This card also offers a $0 annual fee in the first year, which goes to $100 p.a. after that. You can also get cards for employees with no additional cardholder annual fee and customisable spending limits. But if you think you'll pay your account balance each month and want the option of interest-free days, you could consider the ANZ Business 55 Interest Free Days credit card instead.

Pros

$0 annual fee for the first year ($100 p.a. thereafter)
A low interest rate of 12.99% p.a. on purchases
Unauthorised Transactions Insurance, which protects your business against misuse of your cards

Cons

There is no interest-free period, so your spending attracts interest straight away
No extra perks like rewards or airport lounge passes

The ANZ Business Low Rate Credit Card gives you a way to manage business spending, with additional cards for employees, customisable spend limits and unauthorised transaction insurance. It also offers 24/7 account monitoring and worldwide emergency card replacement. While the first-year annual fee waiver saves you $100 p.a. on the annual fee that applies from the second year, it's important to consider how much value you'll get from this card's other features to justify the costs.
