Australians get creative designing their own credit cards

For some time now credit cards companies have been looking for more creative ways to get new customers with offers such as 0% apr balance transfers for debt consolidation or rewards points to cash in for flights such as the Qantas frequent flyer scheme.

While the banks marketing departments have been creative for some time, it's now the customers turn to get creative!

New customers applying online for the ANZ First Card can upload any photo, drawing or image they like as the card design. It's always great to carry a special picture in your wallet but this is the first time Australians have got the chance to add it to a card. Pictures of babies, weddings and holidays are sure to be popular. If your feeling a bit more creative you could add a drawing, piece of art of create your own funky design using a graphics package such as Photoshop.

Americans have had more customised cards for a while but it's good to see ANZ bring an innovative feature to the Australian with their First Card.

Fortunately its not all gimmicks, the card also offers a low annual fee and 2.9% p.a. on balance transfers.
