You may at any time make additional payments over and above your minimum payments. You can make payments to your credit card account in any of the following ways:
We may at any time require you to immediately pay us all or part of the outstanding debit balance on your credit card account.
When a transaction is made on a Visa or Mastercard® credit card, the bank that processes that transaction for the merchant pays a fee to the bank that issued the credit card. This fee is called an interchange fee. See the interchange fees that apply to transactions made in New Zealand on Kiwibank-issued Visa or Mastercard credit cards.
To apply for a Kiwibank Credit Card, you must be at least 18 years of age, a New Zealand permanent resident and have a good credit history.
