When interest is charged 

Interest is charged on purchases when you carry a balance on your Geelong Bank credit card. Interest is charged on cash advances from the date of withdrawal. 

Interest will accrue daily on the any unpaid daily balance of your credit card account at the annual percentage rate. This interest will then be debited monthly on the 25th day of each month.  

When interest is not charged 

Up to 55 interest-free days apply to any Geelong Bank credit card purchases if you have paid the balance in full for the previous month’s statement and for the current month’s statement. For more information about interest-free days, check out our article on how they work. 

Your credit limit for the Geelong Bank Amigo credit card will be determined based on the information you provide in your application, keeping in mind the minimum and maximum credit limits available (see above). Find out more about how credit limits are determined here. 

You can apply to Geelong Bank to increase or decrease your credit limit, and they can approve or reject your request at their discretion based on their lending criteria. 

Geelong Bank can also reduce your credit limit without your consent as long as they provide you with adequate notice. You must pay any amount owing in excess of the credit limit immediately if your credit limit is decreased. 

You may cancel your Geelong Bank credit card at any time by phoning them on 1300 377 800 or writing to them, requesting that the card account be closed and that you revoke your authority over the card. Once cancelled, you must cut the card in half or provide evidence to Geelong Bank that it has been destroyed. 

Your card balance will need to be repaid in full even after the card is closed. You will continue to receive monthly statements until your card balance is fully repaid. 

If you are cancelling because of financial problems, contact the Geelong Bank Financial hardship team to discuss your options.

Geelong Bank (previously known as FCCS Credit Union) was established in 1974 by a group of Ford Motor employees in Geelong to provide financial services to Geelong Ford employees only. But like many companies with humble beginnings, it has since grown and prospered to become a company with a much wider membership base spread across Australia. 

Geelong Bank is a proud member of the Customer Owned Banking Association (COBA), the national body for customer-owned banking institutions in Australia. 

Geelong Bank is a credit union that is mutually owned by its members. Anyone from the general public can join as a member of Geelong Bank by purchasing a share valued at $10, which is fully refundable should you close your membership with the Credit Union. 

As a customer-owned institution, Geelong Bank is heavily involved with the local community. Over the past 40 years, Geelong Bank has a supported a range of initiatives related to education, health and wellbeing, the environment, and community organisations. Some examples of the initiatives Geelong Bank has taken with the community include: 

• The Kids+ Foundation delivers specialist therapy programs for babies, children and young adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities 
• CUFA, an international development agency dedicated to combating poverty across the Asia-Pacific region 
• The Give Where You Live initiative improves the lives of Geelong residents through volunteer programs based around health and wellbeing
