What is a balance transfer fee and how is it calculated?
Some balance transfer offers include a balance transfer fee. This fee is calculated as a percentage of the total amount being transferred and is added to the balance transfer amount.
For example, a balance transfer amount of $10,000 with a 1% balance transfer fee will be changed a balance transfer fee of $100 and result in the outstanding balance of your Kogan Money Credit Card to increase to $10,100.
How long will a balance transfer take to process?
Balance transfers can take up to 10 business days to process. You should allow additional time for any cheques to be received at the other financial institution.
Balance transfers will only be processed once you have received and activated your credit card.
Will my balance transfer affect my interest-free days?
Yes, while the transferred balance will be charged a promotional interest rate, you should also be aware that while you have a balance transfer there will be no interest-free days on your account.
When your balance transfer period ends, any remaining balance will be charged interest at the applicable Annual Purchase Rate for Cash Advances.
When will my credit card payments be applied to my balance transfer?
The payments you make on your credit card will be applied firstly to any Monthly Instalment(s) due for an Instalment Plan; and then to the portion of your balance that attracts the highest interest rate; and then to the portion of your balance attracting the next-highest interest rate and so on.
As the promotional interest rate offered for balance transfers is generally low, and often 0%, you should assume that any payments will be applied to your other balances before they begin to reduce your transferred balance.
