The NAB Low Rate is currently one of the best introductory offers available. Another core benefit of this card is the fact that once the balance transfer period is over, it reverts to the low purchase rate, not the cash advance rate. This card also features one of the lowest annual fees in the market
The NAB Low Rate Visa Credit Card has a low rate on purchases so you can get more out of life.
The NAB Low Interest Visa Card is also a great low rate credit card with a low annual fee.

What can I do to avoid or reduce my interest charges?
You can avoid or reduce interest charges by:
- using a credit card with an interest free period for purchases
- always paying off the full closing balance of your last statement by the payment due date (within cut off times)
- avoiding cash advance and cash equivalent transactions (as these generate interest as soon as they are assigned to your account)

I currently have a NAB visa card. Am I able to transfer the balance onto this new card/offer?
Thanks
Am I able to transfer the balance of my nab credit card to a nab low rate card or do I have to look at transferring to another bank.
Hi Chris
Thanks for your comment :)
The NAB Balance Transfer Terms & Conditions state that the balance transfer option is only available if the nominated accounts are non-NAB credit cards or store card accounts issued in Australia. So in your case, you would not be able to transfer the balance of your existing NAB credit card to the NAB Low Rate.
I hope this helps
Cheers

Hi If i balance transfer to one of your credit cards for more than the low interest offer period will the balance be charge at a purchase rate or a cash advanced rate
Hi Damien
Thanks for your question
NAB Credit Cards have been revamped and they now revert to the purchase interest rate at the end of the balance transfer period.
Cheers,
Jeremy
Hi,
Is the offer of 2.99% still going as there is conflicting information on this website. In one section it states the offer has expired already however under the low interest rate card section it states that the offer is on until December 2011. Can you please clarify this.
Thanks
Hi Linda
The NAB Low Rate currently offers 2.99% p.a. on purchases for your first year if you apply by 14 December 2011

can you balance transfer a personal loan for $5000
Hi Will
I know that you can do a balance transfer of a personal loan with Citibank credit cards, but as far as I’m aware this is not available with NAB.

Hi, I have applied for one of these cards and got a confirmation saying I would get an email with my reference number. I have written down the reference number which was lucky as I never received the email. How do I check my application to make sure I did not make a mistake with my email?
Thank you Kindly
Hi Keri
Thanks for your e-mail
You can give customer service a call and they should be able to check on your credit card application status for you
Cheers
Jeremy
Thanks Jeremy, I actually called them up last Friday and am just waiting on my paperwork now :-)
Hi Jeremy,
You mentioned that at the end of the balance transfer period, the balance will be charged at purchase rate. The purchase rate after the first 6 months, would it be 2.99% (special rate) or normal rate of 13.49%?
Cheers – Yati
does the special offer apply to cash advances or is cash advances always the set rate?
Hi Jodie
The special introductory purchase interest rate excludes cash advances and balance transfers.
