1. On credit purchases only, where the closing balance (including any balance transfer amount or any other promotion) is paid in full by the due date each month. Interest on cash advances is calculated from the date the transaction is debited to your card account.

Fees and charges apply to Westpac's 55 Day cards. Full details of current Terms and Conditions are available on application. Terms and conditions, including bank fees and charges, may be varied or introduced in the future. Government charges and taxes apply.

# This special rate is only available to customers who are applying for an applicable Westpac card and wish to transfer the balance(s) from a non-Westpac or non-Virgin credit card(s), charge card(s) or store card(s). Each balance transfer must be a minimum amount of $200. This promotion is only available at point of new card application. The special balance transfer promotional rate will apply from the time the balance transfer is made to your account for the number of months specified in the offer (unless these amounts are paid off earlier). After this time, any amount of the initial balance transfer still outstanding will attract the standard product interest rate then applicable to cash advances. Subsequent balance transfers made after point of new card application will be charged the standard product interest rate applicable to cash advances. Please note that payments made to the credit card are first applied to amounts transferred from other credit cards, charge cards or store cards under this offer, before they applied to any other cash advance or purchase amount. This will mean that the portion of your outstanding account balance that is subject to a lower interest rate will be paid off first and you will not gain the benefit of any interest-free days on purchases until the full balance (including any balance transfer or any other promotional amount) is paid by the statement due date each month.
