The Q Mastercard and Q Card bring an enticing 3 months zero interest and zero payments deal for all standard purchases, making them top contenders for purchase flexibility in New Zealand. Provided by Humm Group, these cards offer a $50 annual fee, with a standard interest rate of 28.95% p.a. applying after the interest-free period ends.

Q Mastercard & Q Card Pros

Enjoy a genuine three-month break from interest and repayments, useful for budgeting large expenses. Long-term finance offers up to 50 months add further value.

The cards also come with a dedicated mobile app for easy management, so tracking payments and scheduling repayments is straightforward for busy people.

Q Mastercard & Q Card Cons

The headline rate of 28.95% p.a. after the interest-free period is relatively high, so carrying a balance can quickly become expensive.

Cash advances and some deals are not included in the introductory offer, and there are fees for establishment and card use that add to the cost.
