- Foreign exchange fee. Any foreign currency transactions made with this card either overseas or with an online store will attract a 2.95% fee.
- Interest-free period. Pay no interest for 55 days when you pay off your credit card bill in full and on time, helping to improve your cash flow between paydays.
- Purchases. The Bankwest Zero Mastercard allows you to enjoy 0% interest on purchases for the first 6 months, then a competitive rate of 18.99% p.a. applies thereafter.
