    Except they want the online log in details for your bank accounts to verify your income…

      This is such a terrible, terrible idea.

        Yep. It will void your insurance in case of stolen card / hack

    • SimbaGirl on 17/06/2021 - 14:08

      They want access to your online banking? Oh hell no, not a chance.

    • pinkybrain on 17/06/2021 - 14:35

      do you have the link that says that..

      damn…pretty sure there is a terms and condition in our bank account not to provide login details to others
      and them not being liable for any loss.

      • darkly on 17/06/2021 - 17:22

        Correct, handing out your login details for third party tolls means that some banks will void your protection when your bank account gets cleaned out by a thief

    • Skinnerr on 17/06/2021 - 18:15

      What on EARTH do they need such a privileged piece of identifying information? How is this at all justified?

    • ozmaxz on 17/06/2021 - 21:05

      Exactly, they are doing shit technology. Be very careful, if they are under attack, your bank account maybe under risk (if they cache/store a copy of your bank logins on their server). Last time spoke with them for walkaround, they said no. So it's not worth for few $$$ to put my bank account under risk.

  • bargain4all on 17/06/2021 - 12:28

    Its a type of credit card. You need to apply like other credit cards.

    • HomeAlone on 17/06/2021 - 12:29

      Seems kind of dodgy that they hid the fact that it's a credit card in the fine print.

    • [Deactivated] on 17/06/2021 - 14:04

      Except that no other credit card applications need your online login details to your bank account.

    Annual fee

    Fee

    Credit limit

    $49
    $3,001 to $5,000

    • Poppin on 17/06/2021 - 12:34

      There is also a monthly fee of $5 if the closing balance is greater than $20.

    • bongom on 17/06/2021 - 12:49

      So $1 profit if approved for 3 to $5k.

      • bamzero on 17/06/2021 - 13:09

        5k+, the formatting didn't work out so well in that comment

  • pennypincher98 on 17/06/2021 - 12:30

    I can absolutely 100% guarantee this is not targeted, it's just an incentive to try and get you to sign up for a credit card.

  • TheDesigner on 17/06/2021 - 12:36

    Any trick to see how much you wanna sell your personal info.

    No oldies. Max age is 65.

      That is Active Discrimination, also, when you are on the Pension, you've got a fixed Income.

  • iwatchfatpplsleep on 17/06/2021 - 12:49

    $150 is $150. Does this have any other real costs than time?

      You give them full access to your online banking.
      Not happening.

        Isn’t the payslip enough? Has anyone tried applying?

        • xavi3r on 17/06/2021 - 13:17

          Tried last time, they accept nothing except the illion system.

          • pinkybrain on 17/06/2021 - 14:39

            @xavi3r: illion system

            never of of that system before
            that must be really secure..

            • Bigboomboom on 17/06/2021 - 18:10

              @pinkybrain: Illion is Dun & Bradstreet Australia rebranded several years ago. Recently I applied for another credit card I think HSBC that requires the same thing, however you can avoid doing this with HSBC by uploading payslips.

      • BlackForest on 17/06/2021 - 13:04

        Even the Nigerian Prince that emails me from time to time doesn't ask for that. And he is willing to share many multiples of $150 with me.

      • BlackForest on 17/06/2021 - 13:23
        +1

        That's what they email you if you don't go ahead (I asked for an alternative way to verify my income, e.g. pdf version of bank statement to be emailed):

        "Something for you to know:

        We use this technology so we can get back to you with a fast outcome.
        We use bank level encryption to ensure your money is completely safe.
        We're granted read-only access to your bank account, your information is 100% secure."

        read-only - or so they say. A pdf would be read only, too. Just saying. Also doesn't require my online log-in details…

        • pinkybrain on 17/06/2021 - 14:41
          +1

          how is is read only if they can login to your bank account

          also pretty sure bank has T and C against liability if you do this..
          either case it is pretty dodgy to request this..

          never heard this done before by and CC company

        • bamzero on 18/06/2021 - 17:35

          On the website it also says

          "When submitting bank statements online, we use illion’s trusted and secure technology that provides a ‘read-only’ 90-day snapshot in PDF format of your bank statement transactions. That means no one at MoneyMe, or illion, has access to your account or login details – it simply takes a snapshot of your transactions in PDF format. This, along with some personal, employment and spending details is all we need to process your Freestyle application."

          so I guess the illion system accesses your account and creates the PDFs that are sent to moneyme and in theory they shouldn't be storing your login details. Still, no different to me providing that pdf (apart from them knowing it isn't faked)

          Banks say the number one rule is don't give anyone your login details. Makes me wonder too about all the people using cloud based accounting software that wants constant direct access to your accounts to load transactions etc

  • Daffy Duck on 17/06/2021 - 13:09

    Add to eligibility that you must be over 18 and under 65. though reading the bank account info i would not have joined

    Are people serious that you need to put your bank password in the application??

    Lol if so. I can see where they're getting their cashback from.. It's a pyramid scheme! :p

    I'm only willing to give my personal details for a free ring sizer…

  • Hakea73 on 17/06/2021 - 13:31

    A bit dodgy… they say I am already a member. Guaranteed I've never joined up, so how they have linked my phone no is suss.

  • winsondx on 17/06/2021 - 13:36

    cybersecurity recommendation, don't apply this if it needs to give out your bank access

  • bonky on 17/06/2021 - 14:38

    i agree… too much … this goes against all that 'dont do' cyber safty

    nothing stopping them accessing your account or seeing your other incoming & outgoing.

    (unless you chg your password)

  • TomGum on 17/06/2021 - 15:39

    I signed up to their last deal where you get back $250 for $1,000 spend.

    Some key points:
    - The credit amount is seen as a loan rather than a credit card from a Bank Perspective.
    - When you log in with your netbank details, they pull bank statements from the other bank electronically (encrypted), it’s totally safe.
    - Their Call Centre is in Australia and no wait times.
    - You can select your credit limit, so best to stay under $3,000 if you want to maximise your benefit.

    • mkhannah on 17/06/2021 - 17:21

      And no dramas? Does seem to read ok.

      • TomGum on 18/06/2021 - 18:21

        Yeh I had it open for a week and then closed it as soon as I got the cash back.

  • ozvince on 17/06/2021 - 16:42

    Someone posted it not long ago. Probably 2 months ago, lots of negative feedbacks

    Change your bank account pw after signing up.

  • archieduh on 17/06/2021 - 20:46

    I am confused with the monthly fee of $5 if balance above $20.
    Let's say my cycle is 1-30 per month, and I get 55 interest free days at max as per the contract.
    So if I buy something for $1000 on 1-Jul and my statement is generated on 30-Jul with $1000 as due amount with due date as 24-Aug.
    Now if I repay all amount before 24-Aug I know there will be no interest.
    But what is the monthly fee. How do I avoid it?
    Does it mean I have to pay off the $1000 before 30-Jul or 24-Aug to not be charged that fee?

    • bamzero on 18/06/2021 - 17:21
      +1

      Yeh you would need to pay off the balance (or at least $980) before the statement closing period (30/7) to avoid the $5 fee.

  • camwri on 18/06/2021 - 15:08

    SO glad to see that it wasn't just my Spideysense tingling that made me quit the application process at the "Give Us Your Bank Login Details" stage….not happening!

    Then received a text that a Rep would call me shortly to help with my application….replied No Thanks! then they texted for confirmation of application cancellation and asked for Feedback why….hmmm

  • Kooratz on 20/06/2021 - 08:26

    I applied with no worries, change my bank pw right away, got approved then wait for my free$150 in 30days. Let you guys know after…

    • plal on 29/06/2021 - 16:10

      how'd you go?

      • Kooratz on 30/06/2021 - 19:08

        Still waiting for the money, I believe it's 30 days

  • brownbag on 28/06/2021 - 15:07

    I believe this card has one benefit - it enables you to shop on your phone and get cashback via cashrewards without having to 'activate'. I generally use the desktop to get cashrewards as it is much easier to activate then shop. I see this as a way to access cashback when I can't or don't want to use a desktop.

    Am I correct in my understanding?
