Give them a head start with their own Debit Card
Children 8 years old and over can link a Debit Mastercard® to their Westpac Choice everyday account, fast-tracking their money skills with kid-friendly features, keeping them safe and secure:
Weekly spend limit
So they don't spend all their money at once, changing the limit as they get more experienced.

Keeps their money safe if they’ve lost, misplaced or had their Debit Card stolen.

Children can shop confidently in-store or online without the fear of spending at adult-only sites or retailers.

Messages for parents or guardians about their account activity so you can guide and support your child.

Near-instant payments into your account from any other Aussie bank using just your mobile number.
Keep an eye on your money

Use your card security features
The CVC (3 numbers on the back of your card) changes every 24 hours on your digital card for extra security.
Don’t break the piggy bank
Set up a savings goal
