If you have an Aussie Mastercard then in order to have uninterrupted service with your card you must repay $10 of your outstanding balance or at least two percent of it, whichever happens to be greater. You can choose to mail checks to make your payments or you can go into your financial institution and pay your bill in person. However the most convenient way to pay your bill is through the Aussie Mastercard payment online system.
If you would like to start making your bill payments online you can do so through Aussie’s direct debit service known as CardPay Direct. To use this service you must nominate a bank account of yours from which your payments will be debited once you have registered for the online facility.
What is wonderful about this system is that it offers cardholders payment flexibility. If you like you can choose to make the minimum required monthly payment which enables you to have high credit flexibility. Or if you like you can pay your outstanding balance every month which makes debt reduction that much easier. Yet another option is to pay a fixed amount of money per month. This is perfectly fine as well. Paying a fixed amount can allow you to pay down your balance while still working on your savings.
