See if you’re likely to be approved

Answer these questions to see if your application is more or less likely to be approved.

Have you received a regular income in the last 3 months?

Do you have at least $100 remaining each month after covering your expenses?

Have you paid all your bills and loans on time in the last 12 months?

Without a steady and reliable income, we’re unlikely to approve your application. Consider applying when your circumstances change.

As part of your application, BankSA makes enquiries with credit reporting bodies. The enquiry will go on your credit file and could affect future credit applications with other institutions. While these questions will give you an indication of approval, credit card applications are still subject to a full assessment against BankSA’s credit criteria.

Before continuing

A final check that this is the right credit option for you. Credit cards are a secure payment method for short-term borrowing needs such as everyday purchases or unplanned expenses, with some cards offering additional features like rewards. However, there are instances where it might be worth considering another form of credit:

  • You have a longer-term or specific borrowing need, like a car or home renovations. In this case, view our Personal loans
  • You want a repayment schedule with fixed repayments and a defined loan end-date. In this case, view our Personal loans
  • You need ongoing access to credit to help with short-term cashflow, but don’t want a credit card. In this case, look at our Overdraft
Important information

<<Vertigo Cashback offer: This cashback promotion is available when you apply and are approved for a new Vertigo credit card between 7th November 2023 and 31st July 2024, then use it at a participating supermarket and petrol outlets within 180 days from card approval. You will receive 10% cashback on each eligible spend at a participating supermarket and petrol outlets, capped at maximum of $400 per card account. Cashback will be paid as a statement credit to your Vertigo credit card within 30 days of each eligible spend. Your credit card account must be open in order to receive the cashback. If your card is suspended or cancelled, the credit will not be applied. Cashback is only available on one credit card account per customer. This cashback does not form part of the account’s minimum monthly repayment. 

Participating supermarkets and petrol outlets: Each supermarket’s and petrol outlets eligibility is based on its merchant classification. While most major and many independent supermarkets and petrol outlets are participating, those not classified in the Supermarket, Grocers and Service Station merchant categories will not be participating. Examples of supermarkets not participating include: Coles Express, Costco, Metropolitan Fresh and wholesaler supermarkets.

Spend Exclusions: Gift card or eGift card purchases at participating supermarkets are not counted as part of eligible spend. Eligible spend also excludes fees, cash, cash-equivalent transactions, third party payments such as AfterPay, BPAY, PayPal or PayPal equivalent.

Existing credit card customers who held a BankSA, St.George or Bank of Melbourne in the last 12 months, are not eligible for this offer.

>>Vertigo Balance Transfer offer: The promotional balance transfer rate is available when you apply and are approved for a new Vertigo credit card between 7th November 2023 and 31st July 2024, and request at card application to transfer balance(s) from up to 3 non-BankSA, St.George and Bank of Melbourne Australian issued credit, charge or store cards. The promotional rate will apply to balance(s) transferred (min $200 up to 80% of your approved available credit limit) for the promotional period, unless the amount is paid off earlier. Activating your card triggers the processing of the balance transfer. The applicable variable cash advance rate will apply to any unpaid balance transfer amount remaining at the end of the promotional period. BankSA will not be responsible for any delays that may occur in processing payment to your other card account(s) and will not close the account(s). If your account has an interest free period for purchases, to be entitled to that interest free period, you need to pay off the “monthly payment balance” listed on your statement of account (not the full closing balance) by the relevant payment due date.

1 55 Days Interest Free: Receive up to 55 days interest free on your purchases if your Monthly Payment Balance is paid in full by the due date shown each month. This amount is calculated as the main account balance minus the balance transfer amount plus any Plan&Pay instalments for this month. If you do not have any Plan&Pay instalments or a balance transfer, the Monthly Payment Balance will be the same as the Closing Balance.
