Get the most out of your Credit Card.

Whether you’re just getting started, looking to pay a bill, or travelling overseas, here’s what you need to know about managing your Credit Card.

 

How do I activate my Card and register for an Online Account?

Whether you’re a new Business, Personal or Additional Card Member, activate your Card here.

After clicking ‘confirm’, you’ll then be prompted to set up an Online Account, which will allow you to simply and securely view your Card balance, make repayments and more.

Note: If you’re linking a new Card to an existing Online Account, you’ll need to have your existing User ID and Password ready to enter when prompted. Remember, you’ll only be able to link Cards that are in the same name.

If you’re a new Additional Card Member, you’ll need to have the Primary Card Member’s date of birth ready to enter, along with your own details. However, only you will be able to access your Card information through your Online Account.
