Frequently asked questions

What is the NAB StraightUp Card?

It’s a credit card with a set amount of funds (called a 'credit limit’) which you can borrow from at any time. How much credit is available to you will vary depending on how much of your credit limit you have used by making purchases (this is also known as your ‘available balance’).

Unlike most credit cards, the NAB StraightUp Card comes with no interest or other charges – just a simple monthly fee and minimum monthly payment based on your credit limit.

What credit limits are available on the NAB StraightUp Card?

The NAB StraightUp Card comes with three credit limits options when you first apply. Each limit comes with a fixed monthly fee and minimum monthly payment. It’s important that you choose a preferred limit that you can afford.

When you apply you may need to provide bank statements or payslips which we’ll use to assess your application and ensure the limit you’ve applied for is not unsuitable for you.

How do I change my credit limit?

Once approved for a NAB StraightUp Card, you can request to change your limit at any time in the NAB app or NAB Internet Banking. See more information about requesting a limit change on the NAB StraightUp Card.

How do I know what I need to pay each month?

The NAB StraightUp Card has a fixed minimum monthly payment based on your credit limit, so the minimum amount you’ll need to pay each month won’t change unless you change your credit limit. However, if your outstanding balance at the end of your statement period is less than your minimum monthly payment you’ll need to pay at least that amount instead.

You should consider paying more than the minimum payment if you can. Your minimum payment will be shown on your statement and it will also tell you how long it’ll take to pay off your outstanding balance if you’re only making the minimum payment each month.

Where can I use the NAB StraightUp Card?

You can use your NAB StraightUp Card everywhere Visa is accepted – this includes online or overseas purchases.

On a standard credit card, you’re able to withdraw cash or complete gambling transactions. However, the NAB StraightUp Card comes with additional blocks on these types of transactions – helping you stay in control.

Cash advance block

Cash advances include withdrawing cash or transferring money from your credit card to another account. They also include other transactions that we consider to be the equivalent of withdrawing cash from your account, such as the purchase of traveller’s cheques or other substitutes for cash (such as crypto-currency).

In some limited situations, the cash advance block may not apply. This includes where we’re unable to identify a cash advance transaction because of the way the merchant classifies it, when our systems are down or when the merchant terminal is unable to obtain online authorisations. The cash advance block will not apply where you complete the transaction through a linked transaction account and ‘SAV’ or ‘CHQ’ is selected.

Gambling transactions are blocked

This is in place to give you greater control over your spending. This restriction blocks most gambling transactions including sports betting, casino games, lottery operators and online gambling (and includes gambling refunds and winnings). It will apply where you tap to pay, or select ‘Credit’ or ‘CR’ or use your card number to complete the transaction.

In some limited situations, gambling transactions may not be blocked. This includes where you complete the transaction through a linked transaction account and ‘SAV’ or ‘CHQ’ is selected, transactions with merchants who are not identified by us as gambling merchants, transactions made when our systems are down or when the merchant terminal is unable to obtain online authorisations.

What else do I need to know about the NAB StraightUp Card?

  • Balance transfers, additional cardholders and product transfers are unavailable on the NAB StraightUp Card.
  • You can only apply for one NAB StraightUp Card.
