Credit card repayments

Each month you must make the minimum monthly repayment by the due date shown on your BankSA credit card statement.

The minimum repayment on your credit card is whichever is greater of:

1. 2% of your total balance, or
2. $10, or
3. The amount of outstanding government and interest charges.

If the outstanding closing balance is less than $10, you must pay it in full.
If your balance is zero or if your account is in credit, you do not need to make any repayments.

• If you miss or make a late payment, you will be charged a Late Payment Fee
• If your credit card account was opened before 4 June 2012, and you exceed your credit card limit, you may be charged an Overlimit Fee. These fees are outlined in the Credit Card Accounts Fees and Charges document.

In order to avoid Late Payment Fees, you may choose to set up an Autopay automatic payment arrangement, or a direct debit from your nominated Australian bank account to your credit card, to ensure you always meet your minimum repayments on time each month.

You can also consider using SMS and Email Alerts to inform you when you are close to your credit limit. SMS Alerts are charged at $0.25 per SMS. Email alerts are free. Both can be set up through Internet Banking.

Yes, you can make additional payments to your BankSA card at any time during the month. You don't have to wait until you receive your monthly statement to pay. Making additional repayments will reduce your balance faster, and reduce any interest charges.

Setting up an Automatic Payment Plan is a simple way to ensure you meet your credit card repayment by the due date on time each month.

You can arrange to have a payment made automatically to your credit card from any statement based account you nominate with any Australian bank.

With an automatic payment plan you can avoid missing your minimum monthly payment and being charged a Late Payment Fee.

Set up an Autopay automatic payment arrangement to your credit card by logging onto Internet or Mobile Banking. Alternatively you can download the Automatic Payment Plan form to set up this service, or call us on 13 13 76
