One-off Establishment Fee
Depending on the credit limit you apply for, a one-off establishment fee may apply. This fee will be communicated to you in your contract and will be applied to your account upon completion of your first purchase.
Monthly Account Fee
If you have an outstanding amount owing on your Zip Money account, you will be charged a monthly account fee of $7.95* which will be added to your balance at the start of the following month.
If you have no owing balance on your account by your statement date, this fee will be waived.
When does Interest apply to my balance?
Every transaction with Zip Money has a guaranteed 3 months interest free period**. The interest free period is determined by the partnered retailer you shop with. Any remaining balance after the interest free period has ended will begin to accrue interest at a rate of 25.9% per annum.
If you pay off your purchases within the interest free period, you will avoid incurring any interest charges.
Instalment Fees
Instalments is a feature offered within your Zip Money account to help you avoid paying interest on your purchases. See here for more on our instalments feature.
On select purchases you can choose to extend your 3-month interest-free period to 6, 12, or 18 months via instalments (here for more details). An instalment fee applies when you opt to extend the interest free period on one of your eligible Zip Money purchases.
An instalment fee of 1.1% of the total transaction value will be payable for each extension month, but will not include the default interest free period months. The fee will then be split equally across all instalments for this purchase. Please see here for more details.
Late Fees
A late fee of $15 for Zip Money will be charged 21 days after your contractual due date.
