I love my ANZVISA card its got great interest rates and the bank is always on hand for advice when I need them. I find the staff at ANZ very helpful and accommodating when I need to change anything.

In my opinion, getting this credit card is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Transactions can be made very quickly and very easily, no hassle at all. The interest rates for this card are so high I can’t believe it! The rewards side, however, may be a little exaggerated, but this is still the top choice nonetheless. Very convenient, ANZ have great customer service and support

I have had this card for over 10 years – cannot be beaten for convenience and low-cost fee. If you’re the kind of spender who doesn’t like being in credit card debt and can pay your balance off each month, it’s an excellent product but beware the fees and interest if you’re late to pay! Always handy to keep in case of emergencies too (for example… your other bank is “offline”). Convenient for large purchases and Falcon monitoring system is a great reassurance of security. I do miss the days of their custom photo “ Design A Card “ feature though – would be nice if that could be re-introduced.
