Just imagine: using your phone today for those everyday bits and bobs, and gradually laying the foundations for bigger things down the line, like getting on the property ladder. That’s what a smart credit journey should feel like, shouldn’t it? We’re keen to help you along the way!
Using your Zable Credit Card in a way that’s easy and effective
To make the most of your Zable Credit Card, it’s all about using it thoughtfully and keeping things organised. Here are a few handy tips to get you started on the right foot:
- Activate your virtual card quickly through the Zable app.
- Use it for those essential bits and pieces you’re already buying: your groceries, mobile top-up, your favourite streaming service. Think of it as regular spending that fits your budget.
- Try not to use more than about 30% of the credit Zable gives you. This shows you’re using credit responsibly.
- Always pay off the full amount on your statement by the due date. That way, you avoid interest and show you’re a reliable payer.
- Have a quick peek at your transactions on the app each week. It’s a good way to keep an eye on your spending and make sure everything’s as it should be.
