Benefits of getting a credit card with Westpac

Mobile payments

Westpac credit cards can be added to the following mobile wallets and apps:

  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay
  • Samsung Pay
  • Garmin Pay

Westpac Extras

This complimentary program gives you access to cashback offers with well-known brands and stores in Australia. You'll see the latest offers when you log in to Westpac Live. You can also sign up to get offers emailed to you. When you get an offer, you just need to shop at the store and pay with your eligible Westpac credit card, and the cashback will be added to your account as a statement credit.

You can get Westpac Extras offers with any personal Westpac credit card, but not with the Westpac BusinessChoice, Westpac corporate credit cards, Westpac consumer or business debit cards. Also keep in mind that payments made through platforms like PayPal are not eligible to earn cashback.

Westpac SmartPlan credit card instalment plans

Westpac SmartPlan lets you pay off your credit card balance in regular, monthly instalments. This means you'll pay the same amount for your plan each month. Some SmartPlans also offer a reduced interest rate, with 2 main types to choose from:

  • Large Purchase SmartPlan. You can set up a Large Purchase SmartPlan for any single purchase worth $500 or more as long as it's been made in the past 30 days. This makes it suited to individual big-ticket items bought with your credit card, such as a new laptop, flights or hotel bookings. Keep in mind that establishment fees apply and will be shown before you set up a plan.
  • Balance SmartPlan. This option allows you to set up instalments for any credit card balance of $200 or more.

You can set up a Westpac SmartPlan in a few clicks through online banking or the Westpac App.

How do I cancel my Westpac SmartPlan?

You can cancel your SmartPlan at any time through Westpac online banking or the Westpac app. There are no cancellation fees and it will take up to 2 business days to confirm the cancellation.

Westpac PartPay

Similar to buy now pay later, Westpac PartPay lets you split purchases of $100 or more into 4 fortnightly repayments. The repayments come out of your nominated bank account and there are no additional fees as long as you have enough money in your account for each fortnight's automatic repayment.

If you have an eligible Westpac credit card, you can set up PartPay through the Westpac App and will get a digital card (linked to your credit card account). Then, just use your PartPay card to make any purchases you want to pay for in instalments.

Annual fee waiver - home loan offer

With a Westpac Home Loan Premier Advantage Package, you can get the annual fee waived on one of the following credit cards:

  • Low Fee
  • Altitude (including Altitude Qantas)
  • Altitude Platinum (including Altitude Qantas Platinum)
  • Altitude Black (including Altitude Qantas Black)
  • Low Rate

Existing customers may also get a fee waiver for an eligible credit card that is no longer taking new applications. Just note that the Advantage Package only offers one credit card fee waiver per package.

Security features

Westpac credit card security includes 24-hour fraud protection monitoring services for your account, added online security through Mastercard Identity Check and Visa Secure and an online transaction security guarantee to ensure you're not liable for online transactions made without your knowledge or consent.

The Westpac Global ATM Alliance network

When you get a Westpac credit card, you can use it to withdraw cash for free at ATMs that are part of the Westpac Group. This includes ATMs offered by Westpac, St.George, BankSA and Bank of Melbourne. You can also save on ATM withdrawal fees worldwide thanks to the Westpac Global ATM alliance.

How to apply for a Westpac credit card

Applying for a credit card online is fast and easy. You'll need to be at least 18 years of age and meet the card's eligibility criteria. For more about eligibility, the kinds of documentation you'll need and the factors that can affect whether your card application is approved, check out our full guide to applying for a credit card.

    i have your krisflyer credit card visa and amex. do i earn points for payments made to ATO and City council accounts?

      JonathanAugust 24, 2015Finder

      Hi Adbul,

      Thanks for your inquiry.

      Westpac credit cards with AMEX are eligible to earn points for ATO payments. You may also refer to our guide to compare credit cards that have rewards points earnings, allow payments to the ATO, and see points per $1 for government charges.

      Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you.

      Cheers,
      Jonathan

      Hi Ron, thanks for your inquiry!

      Banks in Europe that waive the ATM withdrawal fee include BNP Paribas and Deutsche Bank. Please refer to the link I have sent to your email for a list of eligible banks and countries.

    Hello,
    I have noticed on the list of cards Westpac is advertising a “special offer” card which does not mention that it reverts to cash rate for balance transfer after the 20 month period – however when I try to apply, the fine print says it does revert after the 20 month period?

      Jonathan's headshotFinder
      JonathanApril 29, 2015Finder

      Hi Susie,

      Thank you for your inquiry.

      That is correct, Westpac credit cards revert to the cash advance rate with selected cards reverting to the purchase rate. You may like to refer to the following link for a guide to balance transfer revert rates.

      Cheers,

      Jonathan

    Hi, I have 2 home loans and a basic account with Westpac. I used to have a Westpac Credit Card but have not had one for a long time.
    In fact I still get a statement from Westpac Credit card saying my balance is $3.50 or whatever.

    I have been a Westpac customer for about 30 years or more. I need some money urgently and would only want to take out the minimum amount on a credit card.

    Are you able to help?

      Hi Marjorie,

      Thanks for your question.

      You might want to get in contact with Westpac to find out the status of your credit card account – if you’re receiving statements that you have a balance due then your account may still be active. Once you’ve confirmed the status of your account you can compare Westpac credit cards using the table on this page.

      If you’re looking for a card just for a few one-off payments you might want to consider a card with low interest and low fees or no annual fee to help keep your ongoing costs low. You can check the minimum eligibility for each of these cards by clicking on the name of the card, then when you’re ready to apply you can click ‘Go to Site and apply as an existing customer.

      I hope this has helped.

      Thanks,

      Elizabeth

      Hi Russell, thanks for your inquiry!

      To allow me to assist you further can I clarify whether you are asking if you can clear your credit card balance with a Westpac account each month?
