NAB Overview

NAB offer a range of personal and business financial products which include credit cards, savings accounts and banking, loans, homeloans and insurance.
NAB Credit Cards offer great rates together with a range of benefits such as introductory periods with 0% on balance transfers and very low annual fees, plus low rates after initial bonus periods expire. Customers can also benefit from up to 55 interest free days, providing you with time to pay off balances over a period that suits you.

Customers can access credit card statements online with the NAB online banking service, allowing you to manage your account 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

NAB credit cards come with up to 55 interest free days on purchases (where applicable), which effectively allows you to delay payment for any purchases you make over the set period. As long as you always ensure your balance is paid off in full within the agreed interest free period, you won't pay any interest. If you require additional time to make the payment, the typical interest rate will be applied to your balance.
NAB offer a range of bank accounts designed to suit all your banking needs. NAB bank accounts provide customers with the convenience of a free NAB Visa Debit card.

Deposit a minimum of $2,500 per month into your ebanking account; $3,500 into your classic account; or $4,000 into your Gold account and NAB will waive your monthly account service fee.
