Why use a balance transfer?

Consolidating your finances on to an Altitude Business credit card could save you the cost (and hassle) of maintaining several cards.

By transferring balances from non-Westpac credit cards on to an Altitude Business credit card you can potentially:

 

  • Save on credit card interest
  • Avoid paying multiple card interest rates and annual fees
  • Manage your accounts more easily with just one statement and monthly payment.

 

And with a Westpac Altitude Business credit card, you’ll also enjoy a range of reward point options and purchase protections.
