Northern Inland credit cards

Northern Inland Credit Union offers both low-rate and classic credit cards. Like many regional and mutual banks, it offers a smaller selection of credit cards than Australia’s big four banks. As such, Northern Inland Credit Union does not offer platinum, gold, rewards or frequent flyer credit cards.

Because Northern Inland is owned by its members rather than shareholders, it is able to focus on offering reasonable interest rates and fees rather than on profit. Northern Inland Credit Union credit card rates range from very low to moderate. In some cases, the interest rate is discounted for the first six months of card ownership.

Although Northern Inland Credit Union credit cards do not provide a rewards scheme, classic card holders do gain access to Visa Entertainment, which grants card holders free access to exclusive ticket sales, member promotions and more.

Because Northern Inland Credit Union includes low-rate and classic cards within its offering, Northern Inland credit cards may be suited to budget card holders and everyday spenders. Northern Inland does not offer platinum, frequent flyer or rewards credit cards, which means that rewards-seekers may not find their offering suitable.

In general, Northern Inland Credit Union credit card rates are at the low end of the market. Although Northern Inland Credit Union offers very low rates on certain cards, customers should be aware that they may sacrifice an interest-free period on purchases. Northern Inland delivers interest-free periods ranging from no interest-free period to a moderate interest-free period.

Some Northern Inland Credit Union cards offer an introductory balance transfer deal, making them suited to those who have existing credit card debt they want to move to a new card.
