Obtaining a credit card in Australia with bad or no credit

by


Your credit report plays a important role when trying to obtain a unsecured credit card in Australia. Many banks in Australia are unwilling to give a person credit with a bad or not so good credit history. Currently, we are unaware of any banks that will approve a individual with negative credit without a cosigner for a unsecured credit card. However, if your a student and are looking to build a credit history from scratch, we have a list of banks and financial institutions that issue student credit cards.



Secured credit cards for people with bad credit in Australia


Secured credit cards are a great way to rebuild your credit. Most secured credit card companies require you to secure the credit line with equity in your home or with cash. When accepting a secured card offer make sure they report your payment monthly to the major credit bureaus. Making your payments on time every month will increase your credit rating and in return will increase your chances of getting a unsecured credit line in the future.

Unfortunately, at this time we are currently unaware of any banks offering secured credit cards in Australia. However, you may want to check with your local banks to see if they can offer you this program.
