You'll be sent a statement every month. It will show how much you'll need to pay and when you need to pay it by. Or check it online using the Online Service Centre.

If you have any questions about your statement, please call our Customer Solutions team on 1300 361 152.

If you’ve been using your GE CreditLine account, we’ll send you a monthly statement. This statement will show a record of the transactions made over the last month. It will also tell you the minimum amount you need to pay. 

Remember, to avoid any interest charges at the end of your interest free period, you need to pay more than the minimum monthly payment each month.  The minimum monthly repayment on GE CreditLine is 3% of the total outstanding balance, or $40, whichever is greater.  You will also be charged for any applicable fees.

No. Direct debit payments cannot be made by credit card or charge card.

To use BPAY you’ll need online access to your bank account. Your bank will be able to tell you what types of BPAY they can provide. You’ll need the Biller Code. And you’ll need your customer reference number (CRN). This is not your card number. Your Biller Code and your CRN can be found on your monthly statement.

You can pay your account in four different ways:

• Direct debit
• BPAY™
• By mail with cheque or money order
• In person a Westpac Bank Branches and Australia Post outlets

Fees and charges apply to some payment methods.

Pay the outstanding balance in full before your interest free period ends.

Ensure that your account balance doesn't exceed your credit limit at any time during the month.

Three quick tips:

• Check your balance regularly. If you're close to your limit, making an interim payment helps to reduce the risk of exceeding your credit limit.
• Check before you shop. You can check your account balance via the Online Service Centre or by calling us on 1300 361 152 before making a transaction, to be sure that making that transaction will not take you over your limit.
• Ask for a credit limit increase. To do this, just call us on 1300 361 152.

Make the minimum payment. To avoid incurring a late fee, please ensure that GE Money receives at least your minimum monthly payment (including any outstanding fees or charges) by the due date shown on your statement.

It varies from person to person. Your credit limit can be found on your statement or on the Financial Table you received in the welcome letter.

• Your credit limit can be found on the top right of your monthly GE CreditLine statement.
• You can check it anytime at the Online Service Centre
• Or call us on 1300 361 152

Remember, your interest free credit limit can be different from your cash credit limit.
