With no minimum or maximum term, and the ability to set up regular credit payments, you can manage your overdraft your way.
An extension of our Edge Account, the Edge Overdraft provides all the features of a regular banking account, including access via Online Banking and the Gateway App, no monthly fees and access to your money with a Visa Eco Debit Card, but with the safety of knowing that you have access to additional funds when you need them.
Flexible terms on your Edge Overdraft means there is no maximum or minimum loan term, no exit fees and no draw down fees. Be approved for a credit limit of up to $20,000 (subject to credit approval) and only use the overdraft facility for what you need, when you need it.
Interest on the Overdraft is only charged on the funds you have used, rather than paying interest on a personal loan lump sum, with only a 3% minimum monthly repayment required on the outstanding end of month balance. Payment credits can be made by having your salary paid directly into your account or via direct debit. Getting you salary directed to the account is a great way to manage your account balance and minimise any interest payable on overdrawn balances. You can even set up all your external direct debits from your Edge Overdraft account to make it your one-stop banking destination.
Having a credit limit* on your Edge Overdraft account means you don’t need to juggle multiple accounts. Monitoring fees and rates on different accounts can quickly become overwhelming. By having one account that can switch from acting as a regular bank account that pays you interest on credit balances, into an overdraft with a competitive interest rate that is lower than many credit cards, the Edge Overdraft gives you the best of both worlds.
Having an approved* overdraft facility credit limit means you can avoid overdrawn penalties that may be charged on other banking accounts. Multiple expensive credit cards can be eliminated when you link an Eco Visa Debit Card to your Edge Overdraft account enabling online shopping or the purchasing of goods in-store with your convenient personal overdraft facility. Instead of relying on high interest credit cards for daily groceries, petrol, clothes or the odd splurge, simply use the Visa Eco Debit Card linked to your Edge Overdraft account for the convenience of only needing to track one account with complete flexibility, no matter your balance.
With full visibility over your account with the Gateway App, Online Banking and Telephone Banking available 24 hours a day, you can choose your favourite method to view your account balance and expenses. Plus with only one account to view, you can easily identify your position and plan your saving goals quickly and easily.
By linking a Gateway Visa Eco Debit Card, you have instant access to your funds wherever Visa is accepted, allowing you to shop online, over the phone or in-store, and pay your bills simply and easily. The Visa Eco Debit Card is also accepted at all ATMs that accept Visa, including a wide network of ATMs in Australia can be accessed, fee-free.

Credit cards, overdraft accounts and personal loans are all ways of accessing additional funds when you need them. While they may seem alike on the surface, there are a number of key differences between these options, and the best one for you will depend on your personal circumstances and preferences.

Description |
An overdraft allows you to take out more money than is currently available in your bank account. For instance, you may make a purchase of $800 with only $500 in your account. Your overdraft account will have a pre-approved limit which allows you to draw and spend money even when your balance is zero. You will only be charged interest if you use funds from your overdraft. |
Personal loans provide a one-off lump sum amount with interest charged on the entire loan amount. A personal loan is generally paid off over a set time period with regular repayments or can be paid off in one go if you’re able to. Typically personal loans are repaid with monthly payments. |
Credit cards provide a revolving, or ongoing, line of credit whereby the cardholder is pre-approved with a card or credit limit. A minimum repayment amount is required each month. Any balance remaining at the end of each month will accrue interest. |
