Things you should know

 

Before making a decision about any of our products or services, please read all the terms and conditions. Fees and charges apply and may change. 

 

1. Westpac Bump variable interest: includes a standard variable base rate plus a variable bonus rate. Interest is calculated on the daily balance of your Westpac Bump account and paid on the last business day of the month.  For the purpose of calculating interest paid, a month is the period between the last business day of the previous month to the second last day of the month (inclusive).  Therefore, interest calculated on closing balances on and after the last business day of a month won't be included in the interest payable for the month but will be included in the interest payable for the next month. Balances include deposits made to your account, however interest paid into your account does not qualify as a deposit in terms of bonus interest eligibility.

 

2. Bonus interest: You will be eligible for bonus interest during the month (a month is the period from close of business on the last business day of the previous month to close of business on the last business day of the current month) and subject to transaction processing time, if:
a. your account balance has not fallen below $0; and
b. you (or someone on your behalf) have made a deposit of any amount (interest paid into your account does not qualify as a deposit in terms of bonus interest eligibility); and
c. the account balance on the last business day of the month is higher than the account balance on the last business day of the previous month.
Note: Bonus interest is calculated in the system after 11:59pm on the last business day of the month. Any transaction processed before 11:59pm may impact bonus interest eligibility.

 

3. Account fees: Monthly account keeping fees are free on a Bump account and are waived for customers under 30 on a Choice Youth account. Other fees may be charged for banking services. For a full list of fee waiver eligibility, refer to our Terms and Conditions (PDF 621KB) (PDF 625KB)

 

4. Parental Control: Parents, grandparents, or guardians must be an account signatory to have Parental Control. Child must be registered for Westpac Online Banking and Westpac Telephone Banking to access accounts online or over the phone.  For children under 12 years of age: Parental Control is mandatory, and self-service Telephone Banking is not available.  For children aged 12 years and over: Parental Control is optional and access levels can be amended by the child at any time. Parental Control does not apply to a child’s access to funds in branch, however a signatory must authorise branch withdrawals where a child is under 8 and a debit card is not available. 

 

5. Westpac everyday account: fees and charges apply on a Westpac everyday account, which can be in the name of the child or a parent signatory. Transfers made by the child are subject to any Parental Controls. 

 

6. Parent signatories: parent or guardian must be an account signatory to view the account. There’s a limit of two signatories per Bump Savings account. It is mandatory to have an account signatory on any accounts for children under 14.
