Types of Bankwest Credit Cards

The range of Bankwest credit cards include low rate, no annual fee, rewards, frequent flyer and business options. There are also cards that provide additional perks for eligible cardholders, such as complimentary insurance and no international transaction fees.

• Balance transfer credit cards

When you transfer your existing credit card balance to a new Bankwest credit card with a balance transfer offer, you can get an introductory low or 0% p.a. interest rate on the debt. This allows you to save money on interest charges and pay down your debt faster during the introductory period. After that, a standard interest rate will apply to any debt remaining from the transfer.

• Low rate credit cards

Bankwest low rate credit cards offer a low, ongoing interest rate on purchases. If you carry a balance from month-to-month, this low rate can help you save money on interest charges when compared to regular credit cards.

• No annual fee credit cards

If you don't use your card regularly or want to cut down on card costs, you may want to consider a Bankwest credit card with no annual fee. This type of card is designed to offer affordable access to credit by not charging a yearly account fee. However, as these cards come with higher interest rates than other Bankwest products, you might want to consider a low rate card if you're partial to carrying your balance.

• Rewards credit cards

Bankwest rewards credit cards let you earn Bankwest More Rewards points on all eligible purchases. You can then redeem these points for rewards such as travel, gift cards and merchandise from the Bankwest More Rewards store. Rewards credit cards usually come with higher annual fees, so make sure you're taking advantage of the perks to help offset the cost of the card.

• Frequent flyer credit cards

Bankwest frequent flyer credit cards earn you Qantas Points on all your eligible purchases, with Classic, Platinum and World Mastercard accounts available. Depending on the card you choose, you could also enjoy additional benefits such as free worldwide emergency card replacement, complimentary overseas travel insurance and no foreign transaction fees on overseas purchases.

• Business credit cards

Bankwest offers a range of business credit cards designed to suit different needs, with features ranging from interest-free days, low rates and low annual fees to rewards programs. There are also options to get additional cards for your employees.

The benefits of banking with Bankwest

Some of the benefits of getting a credit card from Bankwest include:

• Digital card

You can activate your card and view your account details through the Bankwest app as soon as your application is approved thanks to the digital card feature. This gives you a way start using your account while you wait for the physical card to come in the mail.

• Bankwest Platinum and World credit cards — travel insurance

If you have a Bankwest Platinum or World Mastercard, you can get complimentary overseas travel insurance when you have an open, eligible card. Your spouse and/or children can also get cover if they meet the eligibility requirements. Refer to the Bankwest credit card complimentary insurance booklet on the Bankwest website for more information, or check out our guide for a summary of this cover.

• Bankwest Platinum and World credit cards — no overseas transaction fee

If you're a frequent traveller or often shop online, you could take advantage of the 0% international transaction fees available with a Bankwest Platinum or World credit card.

• Worldwide emergency card replacement

Whether you're shopping in Australia or overseas, you'll have the peace of mind of Bankwest's emergency worldwide card replacement. If your card is lost or stolen, call Bankwest and they will block your card and arrange for a new one to be sent out to you.

• Flexibility of rewards

Bankwest credit cards give you the choice of earning Bankwest More Rewards or Qantas Points for every dollar you spend on eligible purchases. You can then use these reward points to redeem flights or other travel, as well as products and experiences across categories including fashion, technology, homewares, food and wine and entertainment.

• Mobile wallets and contactless payments

You can make contactless payments with your smartphone when you link your Bankwest credit card to your Google Pay, Apple Pay or Samsung Pay account. You can also purchase a Bankwest Halo payment ring and use it to tap and go at the terminal. Available for $15 and able to be linked to any eligible account, the Halo is waterproof, secure and does not require charging.

Frequently asked questions

If you want to know more about Bankwest credit cards, check out these answers to frequently asked questions. You can also ask us a question by using the form at the bottom of the page.

• What’s the right Bankwest credit card?

  The right card will depend on your financial situation, eligibility and financial goals. Consider the eligibility requirements of the card as well as the features and fees to determine which type of card is suitable for your situation.

• Should I get a Bankwest card with perks?

  This depends on how you plan to use the card. If you won't regularly use the perks and are paying a higher annual fee for them, then you may want to consider a different option. When comparing Bankwest credit cards, think about your spending habits and needs, then weigh up the value of the perks against potential costs such as the annual fee and interest charges to decide if it's the right option for you.

• Do I get benefits if I pay off my Bankwest card every month?

  If you can pay back your balance in full each month, you will be able to take advantage of the interest-free days available for eligible purchases. Note that interest-free days are not available with all Bankwest credit cards (particularly business options), so make sure you check the features of individual products before choosing a card.

• Can I conduct a balance transfer with Bankwest?

  If you're carrying an existing high-interest debt with a non-Bankwest credit card, you can move your balance to a Bankwest card that offers a low promotional interest rate. At the end of the introductory period, the balance transfer interest rate will revert to a higher standard rate for any remaining debt.

• How can I earn frequent flyer points with a Bankwest credit card?

  Bankwest Qantas Mastercard accounts allow you to earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points for your everyday spending. You'll need to have an existing account with Qantas and link it with your Bankwest credit card to earn these points. Please note that you can only earn reward points on eligible purchases (excluding balance transfers, cash advances and gambling transactions).

• What information will I need for a Bankwest credit card application?

  Documentation requirements differ depending on your employment status.

  • Employed. If you’re a new Bankwest customer, you must provide two most recent payslips showing your account details and transaction history. If you’re an existing Bankwest customer, you must provide your Bankwest account statement showing your salary payments for the past three months.
  • Self-employed. If you’re self-employed, you must provide your last two Notices of Assessment from the Australian Tax Office (ATO).
  • Retired. If you get income from a Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) or managed fund, you must provide tax returns from the last financial year and your most recent superannuation statement showing regular payments from the fund. If you get a pension, you must show your most recent pension statement.
  • Rental income. You must provide a rental tenancy agreement and a monthly rental income statement.

  These documents can be faxed or emailed to Bankwest and in most cases, the documents must have been issued within 18 months of your Bankwest credit card application.

• What happens after I apply for a Bankwest credit card?

  Once you submit your online application for a Bankwest credit card, you will be contacted by email confirming the status of your credit card application.
  You may be conditionally approved, approved in full or declined for a Bankwest credit card. If you’re conditionally approved for the card, you may need to provide Bankwest with additional information like financial statements.
  The email with the application confirmation also has your application reference number. You can quote this number to a Bankwest representative if you need to check up on the status of your credit card application.

• Can I do a balance transfer if I already have a Bankwest credit card?

  Although there are balance transfer offers available to existing Bankwest credit cardholders, the balance transfer introductory rates you see advertised are for new customers only. If you’re an existing Bankwest customer and you’re eligible for a balance transfer, Bankwest will contact you directly with details of the offer.

• How do I ask for a credit limit increase on my Bankwest credit card?

  When you apply for a Bankwest credit card, you will be assigned a credit limit. This is how much money Bankwest is willing to give you on your credit card. You can change your credit limit at any time after you get your credit card from Bankwest.

  • Credit limit increase. If you would like to request a credit limit increase on your Bankwest credit card, for whatever reason, give Bankwest a call, download a credit limit increase application form or visit a Bankwest branch to apply. Bankwest looks at your income and your expenses when they assign your credit limit. If you accepted the maximum credit limit when you first applied for the credit card and your circumstances have not changed, it’s unlikely that you will be given more credit if you apply for a limit increase. When you apply for a credit limit increase, a credit enquiry mark is recorded on your credit file.
  • Credit limit decrease. The same way you can request a credit limit increase, you can also request a credit limit decrease. This will reduce the amount of available credit you have on your credit card.

• How do I get a second card for a family member?

  You can add up to three additional cardholders to your Bankwest credit card account. Each cardholder must be over the age of 16. You can add an additional cardholder to your account when you apply for the credit card or you can complete and send in a Bankwest additional cardholder request form.
  If the additional cardholder is not already a Bankwest customer, they will need to verify their identity before a supplementary card can be issued. Please note that, as the primary cardholder, you'll be responsible for all transactions made on your additional cards.

• How much do I need to pay off my card each month?

  The minimum payment is 2% or $20, whichever is greater. If you don't meet this minimum repayment, you'll be charged a late payment fee.
  Please note that if you only pay the minimum repayment amount each month, your remaining balances will start collecting interest. If you want to avoid interest and take advantage of interest-free days on future purchases, you'll need to pay your balance in full.

• How do I pay my Bankwest credit card?

  You have a few options when making repayments with Bankwest:

  • BPAY. You can make payments to your Bankwest credit card from another financial institution’s internet banking facility using BPAY. Enter the Bankwest BPAY Biller Code: 9100 and use your credit card number as the reference number. It may take between three and five business days for the BPAY payment to be processed by the bank, so make sure you allow for the time it takes for the transaction to be processed when you’re making a payment to your Bankwest credit card.
  • Direct debit. Set up a direct debit from a transaction or savings account to automatically transfer money to your Bankwest credit card. You can choose to pay just the minimum amount, the statement balance, account balance or a fixed amount. To set up direct debit for your Bankwest credit card, fill in a direct debit request form. The form is available from on the Bankwest website.
  • At a branch. You can pay your Bankwest credit card in person at a Bankwest branch.
  • Cheque. You can post a cheque to Bankwest for your payment. If you receive paper statements, your statement will be sent in a reusable reply paid envelope to allow you to send a cheque. Just make sure you leave enough time for the cheque to be posted and processed before the due date on your statement.
  • Online banking. If you have a Bankwest transaction account, you can make a payment via the Bankwest Online Banking service. This is available for both computers and mobile devices.

• Can I use my Bankwest credit card overseas?

  Bankwest credit cards can be used wherever Mastercard is accepted, including tens of millions of stores, online merchants and ATMs around the world. When you use your credit card overseas, there’s usually an international transaction fee. This fee is waived on Bankwest Platinum and World credit cards.
  You may also be charged a cash advance fee and local ATM operator fee if you make a cash withdrawal using your Bankwest credit card.

• How do I close or cancel my Bankwest credit card?

  If you have paid your account in full you can cancel your Bankwest credit card at any time. Call a Bankwest customer service representative on 13 17 19 and they will be able to guide you through the process. See our guide on how to cancel a credit card for tips on closing your account successfully without hurting your credit score.

• What is the Bankwest credit card contact number?

  For general credit card or account enquiries, you can call Bankwest on 13 17 19 between 8:00am-8:00pm (local time in your state), 7 days a week. Bankwest also offers these other contact numbers for specific situations:

  • Overseas number: +61 8 9449 2840

• What ATMs can I use with a Bankwest card?
