What is a foreign transaction fee?
A foreign transaction fee is a fee charged as a percentage of the Australian dollar value of any Foreign Transaction (including transactions in a foreign currency, or in any currency with a merchant processing entity located outside Australia). Foreign Transaction Fees do not apply to the Westpac Lite card.
Can I add an additional cardholder?
Yes. You can add one additional cardholder (aged 16 or over) at no extra cost.[#] The primary cardholder remains responsible for all transactions made on the account.
How does a SmartPlan repayment plan work?

SmartPlan helps you stay on top of large purchases and balances by breaking them down into regular installments.[#]

Credit card balance SmartPlan

Turn any of your outstanding purchase, cash advance or promotional plan (e.g. balance transfer) balances of $200 or more into a SmartPlan. The purchase balance SmartPlan type is currently available at a lower interest rate.[#]

Large purchase SmartPlan

Create a large purchase SmartPlan to help you pay off an individual ‘big ticket’ item of $200 or more that you’ve bought on your card in the last 30 days – think purchases such as a flight, hotel bill or even a new fridge. Large purchase SmartPlans are currently available at a lower interest rate.1 To ensure that your credit card balance does not exceed the credit limit, please consider the amount of the establishment fee indicated when you set up a plan.

How does Westpac protect me from fraud?

The security of your card and information is extremely important to us. We have a range of security measures in place to ensure that your account is protected, including online. Westpac Added Online Security provides extra peace of mind when shopping online at participating retailers.

We also have your back if something does go wrong. Our Fraud Money Back Guarantee ensures that customers will be reimbursed for any unauthorised transactions provided that the customer has not contributed to the loss and contacted Westpac promptly.

Do I need to wait for my physical card to start spending?
No, on top of Apple Pay, Samsung PayTM and Google PayTM, you can activate and instantly use your Digital Card in the Westpac App from the moment your account is opened.
