Have you received a regular income in the last 3 months?

Yes

Do you have at least $100 remaining each month after covering your expenses?

Have you paid all your bills and loans on time in the last 12 months?

Without a steady and reliable income, we’re unlikely to approve your application. Consider applying when your circumstances change.

As part of your application, St.George makes enquiries with credit reporting bodies. The enquiry will go on your credit file and could affect future credit applications with other institutions. While these questions will give you an indication of approval, credit card applications are still subject to a full assessment against St.George’s credit criteria.

If you can’t cover your expenses with a little to spare, we’re unlikely to approve your application. Consider applying when your circumstances change.

If you've missed repayments in the last 12 months, we're less likely to approve your application. Consider applying when your circumstances change.

Based on your answers, we’re more likely to approve your application.

Before continuing

A final check that this is the right credit option for you. Credit cards are a secure payment method for short-term borrowing needs such as everyday purchases or unplanned expenses, with some cards offering additional features like rewards. However, there are instances where it might be worth considering another form of credit:

You have a longer-term or specific borrowing need, like a car or home renovations. In this case, view our Personal loans
You want a repayment schedule with fixed repayments and a defined loan end-date. In this case, view our Personal loans

Switches, upgrades, or Westpac Group staff are ineligible. This promotion may be varied or withdrawn at any time and is not available in conjunction with any other promotion.

##Vertigo Balance Transfer Promotion: The promotional balance transfer rate is available when you apply and are approved for a new Vertigo credit card between 31st October 2024 and 30th April 2025, and request at card application to transfer balance(s) from up to 3 non-St.George, Bank of Melbourne and BankSA Australian issued credit or store cards. Your current credit card issuer must accept BPAY payments to be eligible, you can check your credit card statement for payment options. The promotional rate will apply to balance(s) transferred (min $200 up to 80% of your approved available credit limit) for the promotional period, unless the amount is paid off earlier. Activating your card triggers the processing of the balance transfer. A balance transfer fee of 1% of the transferred balance(s) will apply to balance(s) transferred to a Vertigo credit card. The applicable variable cash advance rate will apply to any unpaid balance transfer amount remaining at the end of the promotional period. St.George will not be responsible for any delays that may occur in processing payment to your other card account(s) and will not close the account(s). If your account has an interest free period for purchases, to be entitled to that interest free period, you need to pay off the “monthly payment balance” listed on your statement of account (not the full closing balance) by the relevant payment due date.

¹55 Days Interest Free: Receive up to 55 days interest free on your purchases if your Monthly Payment Balance is paid in full by the due date shown each month. This amount is calculated as the main account balance minus the balance transfer amount plus any Plan&Pay instalments for this month. If you do not have any Plan&Pay instalments or a balance transfer, the Monthly Payment Balance will be the same as the Closing Balance.
