Frequently asked questions
-
Can I apply for a balance transfer to an ASB Visa Light credit card?
Yes you can. Check out our current balance transfer offer here.
If you're an existing ASB credit cardholder, simply apply for a balance transfer online here.
If you're new to ASB or don't have FastNet Classic internet banking, you'll need to visit one of our many ASB branches. -
What is Smart Rate and how does it work?
Smart Rate is our purchase rate offer which combines a special fixed interest rate, for a set period of time, when you spend a certain amount on a single purchase.
After the offer period, the standard low Visa Light purchase interest rate is applied to any remaining balance.
Although Smart Rate is a permanent feature of ASB Visa Light – the fixed interest rate, period of time and purchase amount can be updated at any time. Keep an eye on what our current offer is here.
Smart Rate can only be applied to single purchases and excludes other transaction types like cash advances and transactions equivalent to a cash advance - including buying foreign cash, traveller's cheques, casino chips etc.
-
How do I keep track of my Smart Rate purchases?
Keep track of your Smart Rate purchases in your monthly credit card statement. You'll see the start date, promotional interest rate, end date, purchase amount and the amount left to pay – for each individual purchase eligible for Smart Rate.
Note: You can only keep track using your paper statement, or the PDF equivalent (found in your Document Centre in FastNet Classic internet banking). It is not available anywhere else in FastNet Classic or ASB Mobile.
Remember to pay at least your minimum balance due each month, as you normally would. Find out more on how your payments are allocated to your credit card account.
-
Do I get these new benefits if I already have a Visa Low Rate?
If you have a Visa Low Rate, you automatically get these benefits applied to your existing Visa Low Rate card, and you don't need the new card design to enjoy the benefits of ASB Visa Light.
If you would like the new Visa Light card design before your card is due to be reissued - cancel and replace your existing Visa Low Rate card through FastNet Classic internet banking or the ASB Mobile app – however a $10 replacement card fee will apply.
