Getting the most out of a Westpac Choice account

Getting cash out at an ATM

With a Westpac Debit Mastercard® linked to your Choice account, pay no ATM withdrawal fee at any major bank ATM in Australia (including Westpac, St.George, Bank of Melbourne and BankSA) and the ATMs via the Global ATM Alliance and partner ATMs (other fees may apply).

How easy is it to locate an ATM?

We’ve taken the hard work out of tracking down our nearest ATM to you, thanks to our Westpac mobile banking app. Just go to your phone, tap on our app and select the ATM locator and it’ll bring up the Westpac Group ATMs to you.

There’s more to our ATMs than getting out cash …

Other ways we’re making it easier to manage your money at ATMs include the ability to:

• Make deposits at eligible ATMs with or without a card. Find out more at ATM Features page 
• Withdraw cash without your card using Cardless Cash
• Availability of multilingual ATMs that let you use them not only in English but also in other languages. Check the details at Accessibility page

No card? No worries!

Heading out and leaving your wallet behind is no longer the drama it once might have been, thanks to Cardless Cash. Now you can get cash out from an ATM without needing your debit card – instead you can generate a cash code from the Westpac mobile banking app and use it at an ATM to get out cash (just follow the prompts on the screen).

And if a friend or family member gets stranded without cash, you can generate a cash code and send it to them via SMS, so they won’t get caught without either.

Getting cash out overseas

If you don’t have to pay ATM withdrawal fees in Australia, why should you pay them overseas? Thanks to the Global ATM Alliance, you don’t have to.

When you get cash out at one of the Global Alliance ATMs worldwide, you won’t be charged a withdrawal fee. And just like at home, you can use the Westpac mobile banking app ATM locator to find the nearest Global Alliance ATM to where you are – you can even track it down before you leave home.³

Send money to friends using Pay to Mobile

Getting money to a friend in Australia is easier than ever with Pay to Mobile – all you need is their Australian mobile number and for them to have an Aussie bank account. And if you’re a Westpac customer, you can nominate a Westpac account (such as your Westpac Choice account) and get any payments made using Pay to Mobile paid straight into your account.
