No paraphrasing — direct quotes from BNZ's Conditions of Use documents. Most NZ comparator sites publish summarised figures; we publish the actual clauses.
"If the Visa account has an interest free period, if the Employer always pays the full amount of the 'current balance' shown on a statement by the last date for payment, interest will not accrue on the 'current balance'. If the Employer pays less than the full amount of the 'current balance' shown on a statement by the last date for payment, the interest free period will no longer apply to the 'current balance' and any new transactions made until the closing date of the next statement period. Interest free periods do not apply to Cash Advances and Balance Transfer amounts."
"The cash advance fee does not apply to overseas withdrawals, but a foreign currency service fee may be charged."
"The Bank does not charge a foreign currency service fee on purchase reversals, purchase refunds, ATM reversals and chargebacks. The Bank does not charge a foreign currency service fee if the conversion currency at the point of sale for a purchase is New Zealand dollars."
"If you always pay the full amount of the 'current balance' shown on your statement by the Last Date for Payment, interest will not accrue on the 'current balance'.

"Balance Transfer occurs when we agree that you can transfer the outstanding debit balance of your credit card that is issued by another bank or financial institution that is approved by us to your Credit Card Account. If we do not agree or approve the bank or financial institution, the transfer is a Cash Advance."
"If the dynamic currency conversion Transaction is converted into New Zealand dollars, it is not a Foreign Currency Transaction, and we do not charge you a foreign currency service fee under clause 9.11."
"If you always pay the full amount of the 'current balance' shown on your statement by the Last Date for Payment, interest will not be charged on Transactions (including fees and charges on those Transactions), other than on Cash Advances and Balance Transfers as set out in clause 7.2. If you pay less than the full amount of the 'current balance' shown on your statement by the Last Date for Payment, interest will be calculated and charged on the current balance from the opening date of your next statement and on Transactions debited after the opening date of your next statement from the date the Transaction was made."

What happens if a transaction is wrong, your card is stolen, or you can't resolve a dispute with BNZ. Verbatim from each card's Conditions of Use — the actual rules, not a summary.
Each BNZ card has an unauthorised-transaction clause in its Conditions of Use that we publish verbatim in the "Your dispute and chargeback rights" section below. If you can't resolve the dispute with BNZ directly, every BNZ card directs you to an external dispute resolution scheme (typically the Banking Ombudsman Scheme). Citations link to BNZ's own T&C document.
Every card fact on this page is sourced from BNZ's official Conditions of Use PDFs. The most recent ingestion was on 21 May 2026. Each fact carries a source-tier badge: Tier A (verbatim from issuer's T&C PDF), Tier B (issuer's live website), Tier C (editorial registry, awaiting T&C ingest). We enforce a 36-month freshness cap on source documents — any fact older than that is automatically excluded from the page.
Every figure on this page is traceable to BNZ's publicly published Conditions of Use document. We download the PDF, hash it with SHA-256, extract the markdown content, and run a structured-data extractor (49-field schema) to capture annual fees, interest rates, fee schedules, dispute rights, and eligibility criteria. The source URL for each fact is reachable via the small green chip next to each value. 6 of 6 BNZ cards currently have their T&C ingested.
5 of BNZ's credit cards run a rewards mechanic. We publish each card's earn-rate summary verbatim in the "Rewards mechanics" section below — direct quotes from BNZ's T&C so you can read the actual rules rather than a paraphrased summary.
No — we publish facts, not rankings. Under FMA and CCCFA fair-dealing rules, we don't claim any card is "best" without disclosed methodology, and we don't publish "guaranteed approval" or similar prohibited marketing language. The comparison table is sorted by card name; you compare the facts that matter to your situation and make your own decision. If you want one-on-one advice, see a licensed Financial Advice Provider — we do not provide advice.
The CCCFA 2003 requires every credit-card issuer to lend responsibly, disclose all costs upfront, give you a cooling-off period for new credit contracts, and offer external dispute resolution. Every BNZ T&C we've ingested confirms the dispute scheme they belong to — usually the Banking Ombudsman Scheme. If a lender doesn't follow CCCFA rules, you can complain to the Commerce Commission. Free budgeting help is available via FinCap (0800 345 123).
See our cross-issuer pillar guide at /credit-cards/ for the 14-issuer comparison, or use the comparison table above to drill into specific BNZ cards. Every other big-bank issuer on the platform (ANZ, ASB, BNZ, Westpac, Kiwibank) carries the same T&C-ingested fact set, so cross-comparison is apples-to-apples.
This page publishes facts, not advice. We don't claim any card is "best" without disclosed methodology, and we don't carry CCCFA-prohibited marketing language ("guaranteed approval", "lowest rate", "no credit check", "anyone can qualify"). For one-on-one advice, see a licensed Financial Advice Provider — we are not a FAP.
