Vertigo - Balance Transfer Offer | n/a |
If you're looking for a credit card that comes with flexible features then look no further than the Bank of Melbourne Vertigo card. With the option to choose between the 0% balance transfer offer for the first 28 months or cashback offer, the Vertigo card could be a great option for anyone wanting to reduce their debt.
It even took out a 2021 Mozo Experts Choice Credit Card Award for Best Balance Transfer Card - so you know you're onto a winner.
Let's start with the basics. The Bank of Melbourne’s Vertigo Card features an ongoing purchase rate of 13.99% (many cards charge 20% or more), and there's a comfortable 55-day interest free period on purchases for cardholders who pay off their monthly balance in full by the due date each month.
On top of that, your wallet will be happier given that the annual card fee is a relatively low $55. In terms of other fees, if you do make a late payment there is a $15 late payment charge.
When it comes to making payments, the Bank of Melbourne Vertigo card is a Visa card, so you'll be able to use it anywhere Visa is accepted around the globe. The card also has PayPass functionality for payments under $100 and Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay are all available.
On top of those features, new cardholders who successfully apply between 7th November 2023 and 31st July 2024 can choose between two special offers.
Given the generous offers available with the Vertigo Card, it could be a sound pick for anyone looking to annihilate their credit card debt or to earn some cash back.
With a 21.49% p.a cash advance rate, cardholders will want to do their best to avoid withdrawing money using the card.

I have been with BOM for more than 10 years and it has been great but as soon as I have spotted an unauthorised transaction on the Visa account, I have contacted the fraud support to assist the case and believe or not I had to be out of pocket about $410 for something that I didn't authorise. The support was very aggressive and unprofessional, standing their ground, talking all over me, that I had to ask, can I please say something? after trying to have a polite conversation. I will now cancel my account and go elsewhere not related to this corporation because I suppose that it's the same support team handling the enquiries. I would never think that a bank can be so greedy and rather lose a long-term client than handle their issues the proper way. Also, the mobile app its clustered with glitches and maybe that is a reason that I got scammed as well. I also offered to send screenshots of the mobile app to show that this may have been the way that the account got hacked but they didn't want know and wash their hands with it and left me out of pocket even though they are insured on those type of transaction issues. I am waiting on the new card to pay off my balance and move on and no member of my family will have any more interaction with this bank. Thank god was only $410. Bad policies and practice to handle customer support.

The application process is complex and often you get two different outcomes whether it be an application for new or increase.
