    I have $19000 on a credit card but am working hard to reduce this to zero.What sort of card do you recommend, I spend about $1000 per month and expect to travel overseas in the next year. Also exactly what does the travel insurance cover.

    can i use this card to withdraw cash from atm? If yes, whats the fee or domestic and international transaction?
    What is the requirement to apply for this visa?
    How long will it takes until i receive the card?
    Thank you

    • Staff
      Jacob | August 5, 2012

      HI Dewi. This card can be used to withdraw cash from ATM’s in Australia and overseas. Domestic ATM charges vary, but unless you’re using a NAB ATM, then you’re likely to incur a $2 charge every withdrawal. Using this card to withdraw money from an overseas ATM will incur a local ATM operator fee, an international ATM Cash withdrawal fee of $4 from NAB and a Foreign currency transaction fee of 2%. Check the application page for information on application requirements, and once the application has been completed it should take about two weeks before you get the card. Thanks for the question.

    As a new customer (NAB Low Fee Card) what percentage of my credit limit can be used for balance transfer from another bank or banks?

    • Staff
      Jeremy | March 9, 2012

      Hi,

      In the NAB Balance Transfer FAQ it states that “NAB won’t offer 100% of your credit limit to be used as a Balance Transfer.” Generally it the amount you are able to transfer is somewhere between 90-95%. Thanks for your question.

      Cheers,
      Jeremy

      Thanks for the question. For an additional $59 a year you can protect your card from being lost or stolen through ‘Secure Sentinel’. Secure Sentinel is the 24/7 service that helps you cancel and order replacements for any cards that are lost or stolen. According to the NAB Low Fee Card website, Secure Sentinel also offers:

      “- cover for any fraudulent use of the cards from the time you call them until they’ve called the card issuer
      - help cancelling your Australian passport and organising a replacement from the nearest Australian Embassy
      - an advance of up to $1000 cash for 30 days if your wallet is stolen (conditions apply)
      - to temporarily block your mobile phone if it’s stolen
      - coded tags for your keys and luggage to help get them back to you if they’re found
      - registration of possessions you can identify through a serial number.” Thanks for your question.

      Cheers

    What is the maximum amount I can pay for on this card?

    • Staff
      Jacob | December 25, 2012

      Hi Lisa. Thanks for your question.
      The maximum purchase limit depends on your available credit limit. Cash advances may be restricted by a daily limit, which is set by your card provider and can be amended by contacting your card provider. Some cards set this limit at $1000 a day. Hope this helps.
      Happy new year. Jacob.

    Eugene | February 27, 2013

    Hi, I have a few questions :

    1) Are purchases required on the card or can it be used solely for payments against a transferred balance amount?
    2) Are there closing down fees or penalties applicable should the trnasfer balance be paid off without any purchases?
    3) Is a minimum outstanding balance required (not limit)?
    4) Is the request to transfer a balance from another institution included on the application?

    • Staff
      Marc | February 27, 2013

      Hello Eugene,
      thanks for the questions!

      Purchases are not required on this card, so it can be used solely for payments towards a balance transfer. In addition there are no penalty fees for paying off the whole balance without purchases. There’s also no minimum outstanding balance required for this card. Finally, when carrying out the application online there’s a section for transferring balances which can be filled out. This will require inputting in the transfer amount, and the card number it’s coming from.

      I hope this answers your questions.
      Marc.
