$0 Account-Keeping Fee

With $0 monthly account keeping fees, your money can go even further. You also won’t be charged any overdrawn fee or debit interest (other fees may apply)

ATM network at home and overseas

Pay no ATM withdrawal fee at Westpac Group ATMs in Australia and through our Global ATM Alliance 2 and overseas partner ATMs which you can find using the ATM locator in the Westpac App. Other fees may apply.

Online banking guarantee

We’ll repay any funds missing due to online fraud, as long as you’ve complied with our T&Cs.4
