Terms & conditions

Rates and offers change. Every rate, fee, welcome offer and benefit on this page was accurate when last reviewed, but Home Trust can change or withdraw any of them at any time — sometimes without notice. Confirm the current terms on Home Trust's own website before you apply.

Eligibility is theirs to decide. Approval, credit limits, interest rates and welcome offers depend on your credit history and Home Trust's own criteria. Bonuses often exclude anyone who has held the card before, and usually require a minimum spend within a set period.

This is not advice. The reviews and ratings here are our editorial opinion, not financial, tax or legal advice, and not a recommendation for your circumstances. Speak to a qualified professional before making a financial decision.

How we make money. CreditCardGuru may earn a commission when you apply through links on this page. It never affects our ratings or what we write — see our advertiser disclosure and rating methodology.
