Got a question about credit cards?
Annual credit card fees are charged at the end of the month of account opening, then every year each anniversary at the end of the month.
The minimum repayment due on your credit card is 3% of your outstanding balance as at the last day of the month or $10.00, whichever is the greater.
The actual amount due and the due date will be displayed on your credit card statement which can be viewed as an eStatement in internet banking, and can also be found in the BCU mobile app.
You can set up your digital wallet to access your funds straight away - for example, if you order a new card, or in the event your card is ever lost or stolen and needs to be replaced.
Below you'll find step by step instructions on how to add your digital card to your digital wallet using the BCU Bank mobile app.
- Login to your mobile app and from the menu select Manage cards.
- Select enable for the card you wish to add to your Digital Wallet.
- Select Add.
- Confirm you are adding your card to your digital wallet.
- Your mobile device will establish a connection with the bank to add your card.
- Read and accept the terms and conditions.
- Your device will now configure your card for use.
- Complete the verification steps to validate you are authorised to add your card to your mobile device.
- You will receive a text message with your activation code.

Adding your BCU Bank Visa Debit card via the mobile app will limit your card to the Visa network for purchases. If you prefer to use your card on the eftpos network, you will need to set up your digital wallet using your device's Wallet app. See our digital wallets page for more information.
Still unsure? Contact us on 1300 228 228 or visit your nearest branch and we'll help you get started.
