Bank SA
BankSA is has been in Australia for a long time. Even though they are now owned by St.George they still offer the top quality services that have made them leaders in Australian finance. Their credit cards, loans, and investments offer the best rates available for any financial situation.
BankSA or the Bank of Southern Australia actually fell apart in 1992. At that time St.George bought the bank but chose to keep their products under the BankSA name because the brand was so popular. The first BankSA was opened in 1848 in Southern Australia. They became on of the largest financial institutions in Australia as well as the main provider of housing, personal finance, and banking services in the state. They sponsor many events and donate to about 1000 Southern Australian and the Northern Territory charities each year.

Since the collapse BankSA and St.George have regained their strength and provided a variety of credit cards to Australian customers. These include the Vertigo card, a Platinum card, a Gold card, a No Annual Fee card, and a Business card. It is easy to see that they have a card option for virtually any budget or any financial need. All of the BankSA cards come with excellent rates and terms. There are various levels of cards, but all come equipped with lower then average annual fees and competitive interest rates. Three of their cards, the BankSA Vertigo, BankSA Platinum, and BankSA Amplify have excellent balance transfer rates. If you move the debt from an old card over to one of these cards you will pay just 4% or less in interest on the balance for six months. It is a great way to relieve debt while saving money at the same time.
