Great card because of excellent service
Reviewed by Claire
This card comes with exceptional customer service options. You can choose how you wish to have it set up and have total control over your options. Customer relations are superb and friendly. Internet bankiing services and 24 hour access make the card iincredibly convenient, and all fees are extremely low. Who need a reward system when all other options are so good!

"A good partner
Reviewed by Neville
I have used Visa for over 20 years and I have never had a problem, which is more than I can say about others. I joined Bank Australia (MECU) many years ago and a year or so ago used their Visa. Their card has worked without a problem. The Bank Australia service has been first class. They have phoned me
Handy for unexpected purchases
Reviewed by Jennifer
I try to not use this card as there are no or very few rewards.
Also i find the purchasing date crucial as to when it becomes due. It does not work on a full month from date of purchase. Otherwise it is handy for those times when an unexpected purchase arises.
Love the payWave and online convenience
Reviewed by Phoebe
This card is helpful for using payWave and making online purchases. It has helped me save (and spend) money in my student account while attending university.
I got this card specifically to make online transactions, and using payWave is really an added bonus.
I have had some trouble with card corruption and have had to get this card replaced once, but other than that I haven’t had any major issues or problems with the card.
