How security works in Westpac Live

Our Westpac Protect™ Adaptive Authentication technology is a comprehensive real-time authentication and fraud detection platform which monitors your banking behaviour.
 

In addition, we protect you with our Security Guarantee and will repay any funds that are missing as a result of online fraud, providing you comply with our Online Banking Terms & Conditions. This includes keeping your access codes and passwords private and not sharing logins.
 

For added peace of mind, Users banking on behalf of your business will need a Westpac Protect™ SMS Code or a SecurID® token to:

• Access a higher Daily Payment Limit above $5,000 (see table below)
  
• Approve same day (RTGS) payments
  
• Access certain areas in Westpac Live, such as User Administration
