Things you should know

SmartPlans are currently available for eligible Westpac consumer credit cards. Fees may apply.

You need to register for Online Banking before you can set up a SmartPlan. Read the Online Banking terms and conditions here: Online Banking Terms and Conditions (PDF 417KB)

* The establishment fee is charged upfront but is payable in monthly instalments over the term of your Large Purchase SmartPlan. This means that if you cancel your SmartPlan (or don’t make the required SmartPlan repayments) you must still pay the whole establishment fee, including any interest on the establishment fee.

SmartPlan requires cardholders to make regular monthly payments for the full term and at the interest rate that applies when the SmartPlan is created. Note: 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.

All payments made to your credit card account will be applied first to any SmartPlan instalments. Therefore debts accruing a higher interest rate may be left unpaid during the SmartPlan term.

Any balance transfer amounts on a SmartPlan must have a remaining term of between 3 and 36 months to be eligible for a SmartPlan. See Westpac SmartPlan Terms and Conditions for more details.

SmartPlan cancellation takes up to 2 business days. When a SmartPlan ends, any remaining balance will revert to the variable annual interest rate for your balance type or special offer rate as applicable.

Cardholders keep interest-free days (if applicable) with a balance transfer when you pay the Monthly Payment Balance specified on your statement by the due date. The Monthly Payment Balance includes any SmartPlan instalments but does not include any outstanding balance transfers.

1 A monthly establishment fee will apply to all Large Purchase SmartPlans.
