How a balance transfer works
Cards you can transfer a balance from
- Visa or Mastercard cards provided by ASB, Bank Direct, BNZ, KiwiBank, TSB or Westpac.
- American Express (excluding Air New Zealand AMEX).
- GE CreditLine (GEM).
- Q Card.
- Farmers Card.
How much you can transfer
- The minimum amount you can transfer is $100.
- You can balance transfer any amount above the minimum as long as the balance transfer does not cause you to exceed 95% of the approved credit limit on your ANZ credit card. This allows a buffer to cover any fees you may incur (e.g. a late payment or cash advance fee) or interest charges.
Repayment allocation – balance transfer amount vs new purchases
When you make a repayment to your ANZ card, it will generally be applied to the transferred balance before any purchase or cash advance.
This means that until your transferred balance is paid off in full, you won’t get any interest-free days on new purchases.
If you have an existing ANZ credit card
If your current ANZ credit card is an Airpoints, CashBack or Qantas card, consider changing to an ANZ Low Rate Visa to save on fees and interest, before applying for a balance transfer.
