COVID-19 is creating a difficult situation for many Australians. We have a number of options available to help you manage your cash flow and create some breathing room during this uncertain and evolving time:

  • 1. Set up an automatic payment so you don't miss your due date

    There are a number of ways you can avoid late fees on your account. You could set a recurring reminder in your phone or diary, or you could set up a recurring payment to your Coles Mastercard or Coles Personal Loan from your transaction account.

    Alternatively, you could set up a direct debit to automatically pay either your Closing Balance, or the Minimum Payment Due, plus any Overdue Amount and any Overlimit Amount, every month on the Minimum Payment Due Date from the bank account of your choice.

    You can set up a direct debit to pay your Coles Mastercard or Coles Personal Loan by logging in to the Online Service Centre, clicking ‘My Payments’ and then ‘Pay My Account’.

  • 2. Pay your balance off over time in smaller, fixed monthly payments

    If you are a Coles Mastercard customer and like to stay in control of your budget, you may be eligible for an Instalment Plan that allows you to break large payments - either individual transactions or your statement balance - into smaller, more manageable monthly repayments at a fixed rate over a set period of time that best suits you*.

    *Instalment Plans are defined in the Coles Mastercard Terms and Conditions and Other Important Information as a Fixed Payment Option. Fixed Payment Option offers are subject to eligibility and only available if your Account is and remains in good standing. Your Fixed Payment Option uses part of your existing credit limit. As you pay off your Fixed Payment Option, the amount you pay off will become available for you to use again as part of your credit limit at the standard Annual Percentage Rate applicable to your account. For the full terms and conditions of your Fixed Payment Option, please refer to the Coles Mastercard Terms and Conditions and Other Important Information.
