  • Independent comparison across multiple issuers, not a single-bank pitch
  • Honest guidance on what you'll realistically be approved for
  • Documentation prepared and submitted by our team, end to end

  • Salary certificate or trade licence, if self-employed
  • Recent bank statements — typically the last three to six months
  • Proof of address, such as a tenancy contract or utility bill

FAQ

Credit card questions, answered

With a complete file, many card applications receive a decision within a few working days — sometimes faster. Timelines depend on the bank, the card tier and how quickly your documents are verified. We follow up with the bank on your behalf throughout.

Often yes. New residents without an established local credit history are usually best served by a secured card backed by a fixed deposit, which builds your AECB record and opens the door to unsecured cards later. We'll advise on the right starting point for your situation.

Limits are set by the issuing bank based on your income, existing obligations and credit history — commonly expressed as a multiple of monthly salary. Once we review your profile we can give you a realistic expectation before applying.

Banks check your AECB record as part of the assessment, and repeated rejections can work against you. That's exactly why we assess your eligibility first and only submit where approval is realistic — rather than applying to several banks at once and hoping.

It depends on how you spend. Steady monthly spending on essentials suits a cashback card; frequent flyers get more from a travel card; those building a credit profile should start secured; and variable spenders often prefer the flexibility of points-based rewards. We'll walk you through it.

Get in touch and we'll be upfront about any costs involved before you commit to anything. Card fees themselves — annual fees, interest and charges — are set by the issuing bank and will be fully explained to you before you sign.
