-

-
How do I cancel my old card?
Once the balance transfer process is complete, contact your existing card provider directly to close your old credit card account.
-
How are credit card repayments I make allocated?
ASB applies your payment to the transactions that might attract a higher interest rate before those on a lower interest rate - this helps reduce the interest you pay. Purchases and cash advances (other than Smart Rate purchases for ASB Visa Light) are paid before balance transfers and Smart Rate purchases. If you have multiple balance transfers and/or Smart Rate purchases, we pay off the ones with the highest interest rate first. If they have the same interest rate, balance transfers are paid before Smart Rate purchases. To avoid overdue payment fees, make sure to pay at least a minimum repayment by the due date.
