  • Swipe to your Flex Card (if you have multiple cards) then select Show Digital Card to reveal your card number, expiry and generate a dynamic CVC. 
  • Your CVC (3-digit security number) refreshes every 24 hours to help ensure your details are kept safe.

You can also add your Flex Card to your mobile wallet or wearable wallet. Find out more on setting up your mobile wallet here.
 

Managing your card

Your Flex Card follows a monthly statement cycle, starting from the day you sign up. You’ll find the start date of your statement cycle and your payment due date on your statement.

Understanding your repayments
 

Monthly repayments

If you’ve elected to make monthly repayments, these will be debited from your nominated account on your next payment due date.

Twice-a-month repayments

If you’ve elected to make repayments twice a month, these will be debited from your nominated account 14 days before your next payment due date, and then again on your payment due date.

Handy repayment reminders

We’ll send you repayment reminders one business day before a repayment is due, so you can make sure you have enough funds in your linked account. 

How to read your statement

You’ll receive monthly statements. This is a paperless product, so you’ll receive your statement by email. When it arrives, here are a few things to note:

In the top right corner, you’ll find a box that highlights the important details related to the statement, including:

  • Your Card Number.
  • Opening Balance, which represents the outstanding balance as of the date listed.
  • New Transactions & Charges that have been made since the last statement.
  • Payments & Refunds you received during the statement cycle.
  • Credit limit, which is $1000.
  • Closing Balance, which we’ve highlighted as this is the key figure to look at.
     

Next, you’ll find your Autopay Schedule, which will show one date if you chose to repay Monthly, and two dates if you chose to pay Twice a Month. Next to the date(s) is the amount which will be debited from your linked account. 
 

Following this is a list of all the transactions made on your Flex Card during the statement cycle, including:

  • The date the transaction was made
  • The transaction details, including the merchant (where you made the purchase)
  • The debit and credit amounts

On the next page, you’ll find details on how you can make additional payments, on top of your scheduled Autopay payments. 
 

Throughout the statement you’ll also find information that is important to read, including what to do if you’re having trouble making repayments.

Tips & tricks

Want to make extra repayments?

The best way to manage the amount you owe is to pay off more than the minimum monthly amount. So, if you’re in a position to do so, make additional repayments when you can, which you have the flexibility to do on your Flex Card at any time.

No outstanding balance? No fee.

The $10 monthly fee will only be charged if you don’t pay the outstanding balance on your previous statement in full by the due date.

Frequently asked questions

You can choose to have your autopay payments debited either monthly (on your payment due date) or twice monthly. Twice monthly autopay payments will be taken 14 days before your next payment due date, and then again on your payment due date. This means that the calendar date may change each month. You will be sent a reminder notification that your payment is due one business day prior to each autopay payment due date.
