A spokesperson for Mozo said the company had not received any information about the reason for the withdrawal.Canstar research manager Mitchell Watson said it was an isolated change, rather than part of a wider move out of the low-growth credit card market.Watson said the credit card market has been active this year, with the new Coles card, more competitive balance transfer offers and upgrades to a number of rewards programs.
