Before continuing
A final check that this is the right credit option for you. Credit cards are a secure payment method for short-term borrowing needs such as everyday purchases or unplanned expenses, with some cards offering additional features like rewards. However, there are instances where it might be worth considering another form of credit:
- You have a longer-term or specific borrowing need, like a car or home renovations. In this case, view our Personal loans
- You want a repayment schedule with fixed repayments and a defined loan end-date. In this case, view our Personal loans
- You need ongoing help with short-term cashflow (and if applying online, already have a Westpac Home Loan, or paid your income into one of our transaction or savings accounts for over six months). In this case, view our Flexi Loan.
Things you should know
Credit criteria, fees and charges apply. Credit Card Product Switches, upgrades or Westpac group staff are ineligible.
Be credit savvy: Before applying, consider the credit limit and check all conditions, fees and charges on your selected card.
Monthly fee waiver: Flex Card has a flat Monthly Fee. The Monthly Fee is charged to your Flex Card Account each month and once it is charged it forms part of your balance. This Monthly Fee will, subject to the Flex Card Terms and Conditions, be waived if you pay off the Closing Balance shown on your previous statement by the payment due date shown on your statement.
