Frequently asked questions
What is a low rate credit card?
Low rate credit cards generally have a low ongoing interest rate charged on purchases, known as the ‘purchase rate’. Note there’s also a separate ‘cash advance rate’ (for withdrawing cash from an ATM), which is likely to be higher.
How can I compare low rate credit cards?
When you're comparing low-interest-rate credit cards, think about how you'd use the card to decide what's important to you. Consider the key factors, such as purchase rate, cash advance rate (for drawing cash directly), card fee, and the number of interest-free days. Also, you may want to consider special offers and tools (such as Westpac's PartPay or SmartPlan that could help with money management.
Can I add an additional cardholder?
Yes. You can add one additional cardholder (aged 16 or over) at no extra cost.[6] The primary cardholder remains responsible for all transactions made on the account.
How does a SmartPlan repayment plan work?
SmartPlan helps you stay on top of large purchases and balances by breaking them down into regular installments.[7]
Credit card balance SmartPlan
Turn any of your outstanding purchase, cash advance or promotional plan (e.g. balance transfer) balances of $200 or more into a SmartPlan. The purchase balance SmartPlan type is currently available at a lower interest rate.[7]
Large purchase SmartPlan
Create a large purchase SmartPlan to help you pay off an individual ‘big ticket’ item of $200 or more that you’ve bought on your card in the last 30 days – think purchases such as a flight, hotel bill or even a new fridge. Large purchase SmartPlans are currently available at a lower interest rate.1 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.
How does Westpac protect me from fraud?
The security of your card and information is extremely important to us. We have a range of security measures in place to ensure that your account is protected, including online. Westpac Added Online Security provides extra peace of mind when shopping online at participating retailers.
We also have your back if something does go wrong. Our Fraud Money Back Guarantee ensures that customers will be reimbursed for any unauthorised transactions provided that the customer has not contributed to the loss and contacted Westpac promptly.
Do I need to wait for my physical card to start spending?
No, on top of Apple Pay, Samsung PayTM and Google PayTM, you can activate and instantly use your Digital Card in the Westpac App from the moment your account is opened.

The promotional rate will apply to balance(s) transferred (min $200 up to 80% of your approved available credit limit) for the promotional period.

The balance transfer fee will be charged to the card account on the same day the balance(s) are debited to the account.

[7]
SmartPlan: SmartPlan is 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 (PDF) available at westpac.com.au. 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. 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. SmartPlan requires cardholders to make regular monthly payments for the full term and at the interest rate that applies when the SmartPlan is created. 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 Credit Card Terms and Conditions (PDF) 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) after a balance transfer when you pay your monthly payment (being your SmartPlan repayments plus the minimum monthly repayment on your credit card account) SmartPlan repayment.
Westpac Fraud Money Back Guarantee: Our Westpac Fraud Money Back Guarantee ensures that customers will be reimbursed for any unauthorised card transactions provided that the customer has not contributed to the loss and contacted Westpac promptly. Refer to the cards’ Terms and Conditions for full details, including when a customer will be liable. You should, however, make sure you only provide your card details to reputable merchants and always contact us immediately if you suspect any fraudulent activity.

Section C – Online Banking Terms and Conditions.
- Your use of Online Banking is to be in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
- These Terms and Conditions are separate from and do not affect the Terms and Conditions applicable to any Account or Direct Entry facility accessed by Online Banking .
- Getting started. 3.1 You, as the owner of an Online Banking service must register to establish an Online Banking service in your name . 3.2 If you are an individual, you can register by visiting any of our branches or by calling our contact centre, going to westpac.com.au or downloading the Mobile or Tablet Banking application. We will provide you instructions on how to complete your registration and activate Online Banking. If we automatically register you for Online Banking we’ll give you notice. 3.3 If you are an organisation, you can register by going to westpac.com.au and visiting any of our branches. 3.4 To sign in to Online Banking for the first time, you will need a Customer number and a Password. User set up. 3.5 The Account holder or an Administrator on your behalf can register Users to access Accounts and open certain Accounts (which includes accepting the terms and conditions on your behalf) within your Network through User administration or by contacting us. An Authorised representative(s) can register themselves as Users to access Accounts and open certain Accounts (which includes accepting the terms and conditions on your behalf) within your Network through User administration or by contacting us. We will assign each User a Customer number and a Password if they don’t already have one. Part 2 of these Terms and Conditions describes the access Users may be assigned to the Accounts in a Network by you or the Administrators on your behalf. 3.6 When setting up a new User the process for delivering the Customer number and Password to the User must be nominated. For existing Online Banking Users, the User will be able to access the Network by signing in to Online Banking in the usual way and then selecting the Online Banking service from the Profile list in Online Banking. Third Party Access Authority set up. 3.7 The Account holder can grant Third Party Access Authority to a person who already holds their own Online Banking service by completing the Third Party Access Authority form at a Westpac branch. First sign in. 3.8 When you sign into Online Banking for the first time you’ll be required to change the Password we provide you. For your security, we recommend that you choose a Password for Online Banking that is unrelated to any of your other Westpac passwords, such as your card PIN. Section D – Security and liability describes how you can protect your Access codes from unauthorised access. 3.9 When you sign into Online Banking for the first time you’ll also be required to: • provide additional personal information (including your email address and mobile number) to enable your use of Online Banking and Westpac Protect SMS Codes.
10 • for individual customers, agree to receive notices, documents and communications for your current and future accounts electronically through Online Banking and be notified to your email address when a document is available to retrieve (see clause 13). We will handle your personal information as set out in the Privacy Statement in Part 4. 3.10 You and any User authorised to administer your Network or approve payments in Online Banking must have satisfied Westpac’s identification requirements. You can find Westpac’s identification requirements on westpac.com.au Electronic equipment. 3.11 Online Banking is a browser-based service which means you don’t need any software other than a compatible browser. For more information on compatible browsers, please go to westpac.com.au 3.12 Mobile Banking offers a browser based service (for compatible browsers) and also a mobile application based service for approved Mobile devices. For more information on supported operating systems for Mobile devices, please go to westpac.com.au 3.13 It’s your responsibility to ensure any electronic equipment required to use Online Banking is available to you, working properly, and that you know how to use it to access Online Banking. 3.14 You must take all reasonable steps to protect the security of your electronic equipment, including ensuring that it doesn’t have any viruses or any form of program or mechanism capable of recording your Access codes. Notifications on your Mobile device. 3.15 We may send notifications to your registered Mobile device. These could include Push Notifications or notifications based on your device’s location. You will not be able to opt out of service messages as they could relate to your personal details or accounts and may require action. 3.16 We may also send other notifications, including Push Notifications, promoting our products, features and services. When we send you Push Notifications promoting our products, features and services, you agree that we may not include an unsubscribe facility in the Push Notification. Instead, you can turn off marketing, offers and reward notifications in the ‘Notifications & marketing’ settings through Online Banking. If you turn off marketing, offers and rewards notifications, we may not be able to send you information about benefits that you are entitled to. 3.17 You can enable or disable Mobile Banking notifications on your Mobile device at any time by changing the settings in the Westpac App, or you can deactivate Mobile Banking notifications by changing the settings on your Mobile device. Even if you turn off marketing, offers and rewards notifications in the Westpac App, we recommend you always allow notifications for the Westpac App in your Mobile device settings so you can receive notifications for things such as card purchases, deposits, withdrawals, as well as account and security notifications to assist in early fraud detection. 3.18 Anyone who has access to your Mobile device (including if you lend your Mobile device to someone else or your Mobile device is lost or stolen) will be able to see your notifications. 3.19 Some notifications are ‘actionable’. This means that when you receive a notification, you can select it in order to access more information or perform an instruction (for example, make a payment to your credit card account). 3.20 In some instances, notifications may not reach your Mobile device due to the requirements or limitations of your device. Communications network or system outages, or other factors beyond our control (such as your internet connection) may also delay or affect delivery and receipt of notifications. You may not be able to receive notifications if you have uninstalled your Mobile Banking App on your device, or if your device has been deregistered. 3.21 Where it is reasonable for us to do so or where it is necessary for us to maintain the security or integrity of our systems, we may, with no prior notice to you, temporarily suspend or terminate our notification service to you.
11 3.22 A Third Party to a Westpac Bump Savings or a Westpac Choice Youth account can choose to receive push notifications to their own Mobile device (see Westpac Bump Savings and Westpac Youth Accounts section for more details). Joint Accounts. 3.23 The owner of a Network may provide On-share Access to a joint account within their Network once all Account holders or Authorised representative(s) have signed the Joint Account On-share Authority and we have approved the request. 3.24 The method of operation of the Account (e.g. two to sign) will apply in Online Banking for all payments other than those created via a Direct Entry facility. For payments created via a Direct Entry facility, only one approval will be required. Each Account Holder or Authorised representative(s) authorises us to process payments from a joint account created via a Direct Entry facility without reference to the method of operation of the Account. 3.25 An Account with a method of operation of two or more to sign will be added to Online Banking with access limited to view Account information, unless the Account holder or Authorised representative(s) authorises and we approve the request for the Account to be shared in a Network. 3.26 Where a joint account changes to a method of operation of ‘All to sign’, the account will no longer be available for PayTo services. On-share Access will not be cancelled but Users in the Network will no longer be able to authorise or manage PayTo Payment Agreements. 3.27 The Account will be visible in Online Banking to the Users granted access to the Account by you or the Administrators. To transact on the Account you or the Administrators must grant access to at least the equivalent number of Users as the number to sign on the Account. Any transaction created in Online Banking will need to be approved through the approval work flow process for the Network. The work flow process is described in Part 2. 3.28 In a Business Network the organisation has the ability to appoint a User that can self approve transactions in Online Banking. Part 2 describes how a Senior Approver can be appointed. Note: The authorised sharing of an Account through Online Banking does not authorise you or the Users to operate an Account outside of Online Banking. 3.29 Each Account holder of that joint account may view, authorise, decline, amend, pause, resume or cancel PayTo Payment Agreements created by one or other joint account holders, without requiring further approval from any other joint account holder, in respect of that joint account. All joint account holders will be notified when a PayTo Payment Agreement requires authorisation or action or there is a status update on a PayTo Payment Agreement or PayTo payment. These notifications cannot be turned off. Third Party Access Authority – if you grant a Third Party Access Authority. 3.30 The Account holder of an Account can grant access to a third party by completing a Third Party Access Authority form and the “Account or Service Holder’s declaration and authority” set out on the form will apply to that authority. The third party will be able to group that Account with their own Accounts in their own Online Banking. If the Account holder grants value access to a third party, the third party will have independent authority over, and control of, that Account and will have unrestricted access to transfer funds from that Account to any other Accounts they own. Any daily payment limits or other restrictions the Account holder granting the Third Party Access Authority placed on the Account within Online Banking will not apply to the third party when they operate that Account on the third party’s Online Banking. The Account holder granting the authority may have no visibility or control over the payment activity or history within the third party’s profile, for example, recurring payments. The Account holder or the third party can manage or remove the third-party access within Online Banking. 3.31 The Account holder nominates the highest level of access to the Account that a User can be granted in Online Banking. The access can be limited to view information on the Account, known as non-value access or value access, which allows you or the third party to approve payments on the Account, to transact or provide instructions for the Account in accordance with the method of operation on the Account.
12 3.32 Before 6 December 2024, personal customer Account holders were able to permit “On-share Access” when completing the Third Party Access Authority form. Where this was authorised, the third party granted access to the Account(s) will be able to grant further access to the Account(s) to other members of any Personal Network that they set up. See Part 2, clause 1.1 for details about Personal Networks. The Account holder will not have visibility over or control over how the permitted Users in the third party’s Network will operate the Account. On-share Access is always permitted for organisations under a Business Network. This means that if a third party has been granted Third Party Access Authority with value access to an Account, and the third party has a Business Network, then members of the third party’s Business Network will also have access to that Account. Commencing from 1 December 2025, all existing On-share Access permissions associated with Third Party Access Authority granted to an individual will be removed. As a result, any Users who were granted access to the Account by third parties within their Personal Network will no longer be able to view or transact on the Account through their own Online Banking access. 3.33 Westpac Account holders should consider regularly reviewing third-party access to their account. Third Party Access Authority – if you are granted a Third Party Access Authority. 3.34 The Account holder of an Account which is not held in the same name as the Online Banking service can authorise the Account be added to your Online Banking by completing a Third Party Access Auth ority form. Westpac Bump Savings and Westpac Youth Accounts. 3.35 A third party to a Westpac Bump Savings or a Westpac Choice Youth account can choose to receive notifications to their own device for both deposits to and withdrawals from the accounts. The third party can also receive notifications when Account holders aged 14 and above changes their Daily Payment Limit, and when they get removed as a third party. The third party can enable this in their own device without requiring additional approval from the Account holder. The Account holder can remove the third party if they do not want them to receive notifications. 3.36 An Account holder who appoints a third party (such as a parent, guardian, or grandparent) with value access to their Westpac Choice Youth account agrees and consents to the third party acting on behalf of the Account holder in the Westpac App and Online Banking to: • adjust the Weekly Spend Limit in relation to debit card transactions (From 25 March 2024); • apply online for a debit card on behalf of the account holder (From 25 March 2024); • temporarily lock the Account holder’s debit card; • report the Account holder’s debit card lost or stolen; • view, authorise, amend, pause, cancel or decline PayTo Payment Agreements; and • order a replacement card. After turning 14, the Account holder can remove the third party if they do not want them to manage th ese services. 3.37 Westpac Account holders should consider regularly reviewing third-party access to their account. 4. Our authority. 4.1. You authorise us to allow any transaction or act on any instructions received on an Account for which the correct Access codes have been provided, including access by Users where appropriate. 4.2. You acknowledge that subject to the sections on liability below, you’ll be liable for any misuse of Online Banking including transactions on the Accounts or any failure by a User to observe these Terms and Conditions . 4.3. You acknowledge that, in addition to your own use of Online Banking a User’s access to the Accounts may also incur fees and charges which you’ll be required to pay to us.
13 5. Payments. 5.1 You may use Online Banking to make payments through a range of payment methods. You need to be aware that any User authorised to approve payments on the Account(s) in Online Banking will also be able to make payments from the Account(s) in accordance with the access to the Account. 5.2 You and any User are responsible for providing correct payment details including amount and payee details. We have no liability to you or any User for any payment made in accordance with details provided by you or the User. Where you instruct us to make a Payment to another financial institution, or an Osko ® Payment, using a BSB and account number we only verify that the BSB is valid to accept payments. We do not verify that the account number is valid. For a Payment using a BSB and account number to a Westpac account (other than an Osko Payment) we verify that the BSB and account numbers are valid to accept payments. We do not verify that the account number matches the account name for any Payments to any financial institution . 5.3 The Verify with Confirmation of Payee service allows you to check the name of the person or business you intend to pay matches the name on the account. Verify with Confirmation of Payee terms and conditions apply, available on westpac.com.au by searching ‘Verify with Confirmation of Payee’. Transfer Funds. 5.4 By using the Transfer Funds option in Online Banking, you may transfer funds between the eligible Westpac Accounts that are accessible through Online Banking. The Account balances and transactions lists will be updated straight away, except credit cards and transfers to a foreign currency Account made after the payment cut-off time, where the transactions list will not update until the following Busin ess Day. Further, where you transfer funds after a payment cut-off time on a Business Day or a non-Business Day, that transfer may not be included in the balance of your Account for other purposes (such as interest, fees or overdrawing calculations) until the next Business Day. Where you have an eligible Account that uses the Savings Goal feature, you can transfer funds between a specified savings goal and eligible Westpac Accounts. The balance of the savings goal will be updated immediately except for future dated payments or Recurring payments, where the balance will usually be updated within an hour after a transfer into or out of a savings goal. If you have been granted Third Party Access Authority to an Account, any scheduled and/or incomplete transfer of funds you have actioned on the Account may be cancelled if your Third Party Access Authority i s removed. 5.5 Transfers from a credit card to any other Account will be treated as a cash advance and will attract the standard cash advance fee and interest charges (refer to the relevant credit card conditions of use for details) . Transfers from a Corporate Card, Purchasing Card, Virtual Purchasing Card or Employee Benefits Card are not permitted via Online Banking. To make a Transfer Funds payment from these facilities or to effect a reversal of a Transfer Funds made to these facilities, the card Principal must contact their West pac representative. 5.6 Funds Transfers from eligible accounts to eligible BT Invest, BT Cash Management and BT Panorama accounts will take up to 3 Banking Days to appear and be available in these accounts.
14 Pay Anyone. 5.7 Pay Anyone is a transfer of funds from an Account to any other account which is not held in the same name(s). Payment may be made to other Westpac Accounts, or to any valid account at another Australian financial institution which accepts such a Payment. 5.8 If there are insufficient cleared funds in the Account at the time you tell us to make a Payment (including the time for a Scheduled payment you have arranged), we may: • decline to make the Payment, or • to honour the Payment (subject to any overdraw settings you may have in relation to your account or transaction). In either case (in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Account) we may charge a fee to the Account. For details of the applicable charges refer to the terms and conditions for the Account from which you’re making a Payment. Same day – RTGS. 5.9 You may have the option to make a payment to a Pay Anyone payee using RTGS (real time gross settlement) which is a centralised payment system used in Australia for the same day settlement of Australian dollars transactions. In order to make a payment you’ll need to be registered for a Secu rity device. 5.10 The payment must be fully approved before the cut-off time on a Banking Day to be settled with the Australian financial institution of the payee’s account by close of business on the same Banking Day. Refer to the Help centre for the cut-off time. 5.11 There is a maximum daily limit for Same day – RTGS payments that a User can approve. This limit appears in the Same day – RTGS payments section in the Help centre. Osko. 5.12 Osko is a service administered by B PAY that facilitates payments (including Osko Payments) between participating financial institutions. If you are eligible to make Osko Payments and you make a Pay Anyone Payment to a person eligible to receive Osko Payments, then we will usually send that Payment using Osko where we are able to do so. Payments received into your account will in most circumstances immediately form part of the available balance of the account. However, if a payment is made or received after the end of a Business Day or on a non-Business Day, that payment will not be included in updates to the balance of the account for interest calculations (if your account is interest bearing) and other purposes (such as fees or overdrawing calculations) until the next Business Day. An Osko Payment can be accompanied by a short description, making it easier to know what a payment is for (you must not enter inappropriate payment descriptions such as insulting or defamatory text. We will not be liable to you or any other person for inappropriate payment descriptions). Osko is a way of making a Pay Anyone Payment. Although Osko is made available by participating members of the B PAY Scheme, payments using Osko are not B PAY payments (and Section E of these terms and conditions do not apply to payments using Osko). You agree to the disclosure and use of your personal information by, and to, NPP participants and providers of NPP services (including other financial institutions, B PAY and NPP Australia Limited) and their service providers, for the purposes of processing and monitoring payments and to meet our obligations including as an NPP participant. Processing and cut-off times will vary depending on the time of day the payment or transaction is made or received. For cut-off time information please refer to westpac.com.au/faq/cut-off-times or visit your lo cal branch.
15 PayID. 5.13 A PayID is a unique identifier that can be used to receive and make payments from accounts held with participating financial institutions throughout Australia. When you create a PayID with us you will need to link your PayID to an eligible Account. When you would like a person to make a payment to your Account, you can give them your PayID, rather than the BSB and Account number of your Account. If you are eligible to make Osko payments from your Account, you may also make Payments to another person’s PayID (whether their account is held with Westpac or another financial institution). Payments to a PayID count towards your Daily Payment Limit. Your PayID (and the details linked to it) will be held in a central register by NPP Australia Limited that will be accessible to participating financial institutions. Because your PayID is a unique identifier, a PayID can only be registered with a single participating financial institution, and linked to one account. Westpac may require your PayID to contain certain details (such as by requiring your PayID to be consistent with your Online Banking identity). 5.14 You and any User are responsible for providing correct details for any payment made or received using a PayID (including amounts and PayID details). We have no liability to you or any User for any payment made in accordance with details provided by you or the User. When we process a payment to a PayID we check only that the details you provide match a registered PayID. We do not check the owner of the PayID, or the account that is linked to that PayID. Creating and managing your PayID. 5.15 Creating PayID is optional, and we will not create a PayID for you without your consent. The easiest way to create a PayID with Westpac is through Online Banking. To transfer an existing PayID to Westpac, you need to contact the financial institution where your PayID is currently registered and tell them you would like to transfer your PayID to us (we cannot transfer it for you) and then register it with us through Onli ne Banking. When you create a PayID with us you will need to link your PayID to an eligible Account. Not all Westpac accounts can be linked to a PayID, and we may not allow all types of PayIDs to be linked to an Account. For an eligible Account that is held jointly, more than one PayID may be created for the Account provided each PayID is unique. You can find out more about the accounts that can be linked to a PayID at Westpac, and the types of PayIDs that can be used to make or receive payments, by visiting our website westpac.com.au 5.16 Remember that you need to be entitled to use the PayID. We will only allow you to receive and make payments using your PayID if we are satisfied that you have the right to use the PayID. We may ask you to provide information that, in our reasonable opinion, establishes that you have the right to use the PayID. If there is a conflict or dispute over a PayID we may lock or close the PayID. 5.17 Because your PayID is linked to your Account, it is important that you keep your PayID details up to date at all times. Contact us if you would like us to: • change your PayID, or update your PayID details, such as where your Mobile phone number changes; • change the Account linked to your PayID – you will need to be authorised to transact on the changed Account; • transfer your PayID to another participating financial institution; or • close, lock or unlock your PayID. You must notify us immediately if your PayID details change.
16 If you ask us to transfer, lock or close your PayID, your Account will remain linked to your PayID, and your PayID may be used to make and receive payments, until we are able to complete processing your request (including, for transfers, where the other financial institution processes the request). You can instruct us to: • transfer your PayID to a different account you hold with us, • initiate a transfer of your PayID to another financial institution, or • close your PayID, by calling Telephone Banking (132 032 or (+61 2) 9155 7700 from overseas). We will typically give effect to your instruction within 24 hours. Please note, if you wish to transfer your PayID to an account with another financial institution, you are responsible for registering your PayID with that financial institution during the two week period (starting from the day we receive your instruction). After this period, the transfer request will lapse. If you have asked us to transfer your PayID to another financial institution, and that financial institution does not process the transfer request within the time frames required under the rules applying to PayID transfers, your transfer request will be cancelled (and your PayID will remain registered with us and linked to your Account). Locked PayIDs, closed PayIDs. 5.18 You may lock or close your PayID by contacting us at any time on 1300 655 505. While your PayID is locked or closed: • your PayID will not be able to receive payments; • if your PayID is linked to a PayTo Payment Agreement, PayTo payments will not be made and your PayTo Payment Agreement will be paused; and • you will not be able to update your PayID or transfer your PayID to another financial institution. You must immediately notify us if you suspect any unauthorised use of your PayID. We may, acting reasonably, lock or close your PayID at any time. Without limiting the reasons why we may do so, this may happen if: • we reasonably suspect that you may not have the right to use a PayID; • we reasonably consider you have induced us to create or register a PayID by fraud; • your linked Account is blocked or suspended; • your linked Account is closed; • you no longer have authority to transact on the linked account; • we believe your PayID is being used in a way that may cause loss to you or us; • we suspect your PayID is being used fraudulently; or • we believe your PayID has become inactive. 5.19 If your Online Banking facility is closed (and your PayID has not been transferred to another financial institution) we may close your PayID. PayTo. Creating a PayTo Payment Agreement. 5.20 You may establish and authorise PayTo Payment Agreements with merchants or Payment Initiators who offer PayTo as a payment option, for an eligible Account (as determined by us from time to time). To create a PayTo Payment Agreement for an eligible Account: Step 1. You will be required to provide the merchant or Payment Initiator with your personal information, including the BSB and Account number or PayID, of the eligible Account. You must ensure your details a re correct.
17 Step 2. The merchant or Payment Initiator will create and submit a record of the PayTo Payment Agreement to their financial institution or payments processor to record in the Mandate Management Service. Step 3. Once the Mandate Management Service notifies us that a PayTo Payment Agreement has been created using your Account or PayID details, we will notify you via Online or Mobile Banking, email (to your nominated email address) or SMS, and ask you to authorise the PayTo Payment Agreement by providing you with details of the: • merchant or Payment Initiator, • payment amounts and payment frequency (where provided in the PayTo Payment Agreement). Step 4. You may authorise or decline the PayTo Payment Agreement: • If you authorise , we will record your authorisation against the record of the PayTo Payment Agreement in the Mandate Management Service and the PayTo Payment Agreement will become effective (i.e. we will process payment instructions under the PayTo Payment Agreement). • If you decline , we will record that against the record of the PayTo Payment Agreement in the Mandate Management Service. (Note: If you believe that the payment amount or frequency, or any other detail presented in the PayTo Payment Agreement is incorrect, you may decline the PayTo Payment Agreement, contact the merchant or Payment Initiator, and have them amend and resubmit the PayTo Payment Agreement creation request.) If a PayTo Payment Agreement requires your authorisation within a timeframe stipulated by the merchant or Payment Initiator, and you do not provide authorisation within that timeframe, the PayTo Payment Agreement may be withdrawn by the merchant or Payment Initiator. 5.21 Please ensure that the details of the PayTo Payment Agreement are correct before you authorise it. We will not be liable to you or any other person for loss suffered as a result of processing a payment instruction submitted under a PayTo Payment Agreement that you have authorised. 5.22 From 6 September 2025, to increase the security of your PayTo service, we may impose limits on PayTo Payment Agreements or restrict your use of the PayTo service with a certain group of billers. These restrictions may relate to the value of the payment or the classification of the biller’s business by the type of goods or services they provide, such as cash or cash equivalents and high value consumer goods. PayTo Payment Agreements may be rejected where they do not comply with these restrictions. 5.23. If a PayTo Payment Agreement is rejected, the biller will not be able to initiate a payment from your Account under that PayTo Payment Agreement. Rejected PayTo Payment Agreements will not appear in Online Banking. 5.24. PayTo payments are not included in your Daily Payment Limit or Business Daily Limit. Amending a PayTo Payment Agreement. 5.25 Your PayTo Payment Agreement may be amended by the merchant or Payment Initiator from time to time, or by us on your instruction. You may instruct us to amend your Account details in the PayTo Payment Agreement. Account details may only be replaced with the BSB and Account number (or PayID) of an eligible Account. We may decline to act on an instruction to amend your PayTo Payment Agreement if we are not reasonably satisfied that the request is legitimate. You may not request us to amend the details of the merchant or Payment Initiator, or another party.
18 5.26 We will send you a notification of proposed amendments to the PayTo Payment Agreement via Online or Mobile Banking, email (to your nominated email address) or SMS for your authorisation: • If you authorise , we will promptly record the authorisation against the record of the PayTo Payment Agreement in the Mandate Management Service and the amendment will become effective. • If you decline , the amendment will not be made. A declined amendment request will not otherwise affect the PayTo Payment Agreement. If you decline the amendment request because of incorrect details, you may contact the merchant or Payment Initiator and have them resubmit the amendment request with the correct details. We are not authorised to vary the details in an amendment request submitted by the merchant or Payment Initiator. • If you do not authorise or decline within 6 calendar days of the notification being sent to you (or if the amendment is withdrawn by the merchant or Payment Initiator), the amendment request will expire and will be deemed to be declined. Pausing your PayTo Payment Agreement. 5.27 You may instruct us to pause and resume your PayTo Payment Agreement via Online and Telephone Banking. We will promptly act on your instruction by updating the record of the PayTo Payment Agreement in the Mandate Management Service. The Mandate Management Service will notify the merchant’s or Payment Initiator’s financial institution or payment processor of the pause or resumption. During the period the PayTo Payment Agreement is paused, we will not process payment instructions in connection with it. We will not be liable for any loss that you or any other person may suffer as a result of the pausing of a PayTo Payment Agreement that is in breach of the terms of an agreement between you and the relevant merchant or Payment Initiator. 5.28 Merchants and Payment Initiators may pause and resume their PayTo Payment Agreements. If the merchant or Payment Initiator pauses a PayTo Payment Agreement to which you are a party, we will promptly notify you of that, and of any subsequent resumption, via Online Banking, Mobile Banking, or email. We will not be liable for any loss that you or any other person may suffer as a result of the pausing of a PayTo Payment Agreement by the merchant or Payment Initiator. Cancelling your PayTo Payment Agreement. 5.29 You may instruct us to cancel a PayTo Payment Agreement on your behalf by contacting us via Online Banking or Telephone Banking (where you have been granted value access for Telephone Banking). We will promptly act on your instruction by updating the record of the PayTo Payment Agreement in the Mandate Management Service. The Mandate Management Service will notify the merchant’s or Payment Initiator’s financial institution or payment processor of the cancellation. The terms of an agreement between you and the relevant merchant or Payment Initiator may specify certain losses for which you may be liable as a result of that cancellation (e.g. you may be required to pay a cancellation fee after instructing us to cancel the PayTo Payment Agreement). 5.30 Merchants and Payment Initiators may cancel PayTo Payment Agreements. If the merchant or Payment Initiator cancels a PayTo Payment Agreement to which you are a party, we will promptly notify you of that cancellation via Online Banking, Mobile Banking, or email. We will not be liable to you or any other person for loss incurred due to cancellation of your PayTo Payment Agreement by the merchant or Payme nt Initiator. Migration of Direct Debit arrangements. 5.31 Merchants and Payment Initiators who have existing Direct Debit arrangements with their customer may establish PayTo Payment Agreements for these, as Migrated DDR Mandate, in order to process payments under those arrangements via the NPP rather than BECS (the Bulk Electronic Clearing System). If you have an existing Direct Debit arrangement with a merchant or Payment Initiator, you may be notified by them that future payments will be processed from your Account under PayTo.
19 You are entitled to prior written notice of variations to your Direct Debit arrangement and changed processing arrangements, as specified in your Direct Debit Service Agreement, from the merchant or Payment Initiator. If you do not consent to the variation of the Direct Debit arrangement, you must advise the merchant or Payment Initiator. We are not obliged to provide notice of a Migrated DDR Mandate to you for you to confirm or decline. We will process instructions received from a merchant or Payment Initiator on the basis of a Migrated DDR Mandate. 5.32 You may amend, pause (and resume), cancel or transfer your Migrated DDR Mandate, or receive notice of amendment, pause or resumption, or cancellation initiated by the merchant or Payment Initiator, in the manner described in Section C. Networks, Third Parties and PayTo. 5.33 From 30 June 2024, the PayTo service will be available to: (a) Users in your Personal Networks or Business Networks; and (b) Person(s) that you have authorised under a Third Party Access Authority or Joint Account O n - share Authority. 5.34 For organisations with Business Networks, you or the Administrator must enable the PayTo feature for eligible Accounts through Online Banking. 5.35 Permitted Users in your Personal or Business Networks, authorised third parties and any permitted User(s) of their Personal/Business Networks, are able to make the following changes to existing and new PayTo Payment Agreements: • authorise, decline, amend, pause, resume or cancel PayTo Payment Agreements on your behalf, and • amend Account details in the PayTo Payment Agreement. However, you are still liable to meet the terms of the agreement with the relevant merchant or Payment Initiator such as, payment for the goods or services the subject of the PayTo Payment Agreement if the third party fails to pay on your behalf). Your responsibilities. 5.36 You must: • ensure that you carefully consider any PayTo Payment Agreement creation request, or amendment request made in respect of your PayTo Payment Agreement or Migrated DDR Mandate and promptly respond to such requests. We will not be liable for any loss that you suffer as a result of any payment processed by us in accordance with the terms of a PayTo Payment Agreement or Migrated D DR Mandate. • notify us immediately if you no longer hold or have authority to operate the Account from which payments under a PayTo Payment Agreement or Migrated DDR Mandate have been (or will be) made. • promptly respond to any notification that you receive from us regarding the pausing or cancellation of a PayTo Payment Agreement or Migrated DDR Mandate for misuse, fraud or for any other reason. We will not be responsible for any loss that you suffer as a result of you not promptly responding to such a notification. • ensure that all data you provide to us or to any merchant or Payment Initiator that subscribes to PayTo is accurate, up to date and permitted to be disclosed. • ensure not to use PayTo to send threatening, harassing or offensive messages to the merchant, Payment Initiator or any other person. • ensure any passwords/PINs needed to access the facilities we provide are kept confidential and are not disclosed to any other person. • comply with all applicable laws in connection with your use of PayTo. • ensure that you comply with the terms of any agreement that you have with a merchant or Payment Initiator, including any termination notice periods. You acknowledge that you are responsible for any
20 loss that you suffer in connection with the cancellation or pausing of a PayTo Payment Agreement or Migrated DDR Mandate by you which is in breach of any agreement that you have with that merchant or Payment Initiator. • ensure that you have sufficient funds in your Account to meet the requirements of all your PayTo Payment Agreements and Migrated DDR Mandate. Subject to any applicable laws and industry codes, we will not be responsible for any loss that you suffer as a result of your Account having insufficient funds. Please refer to the relevant Account terms and conditions which will apply where there are insufficient funds in your Account. 5.37 If you receive a PayTo Payment Agreement creation request or become aware of payments being processed from your Account that you are not expecting, or experience any other activity that appears suspicious or erroneous, please report such activity to us as soon as possible via Online Banking, Mobile Banking or Telephone Banking and submit a claim. We will respond to all claims within 5 business days, and if the claim is founded, we will refund your Account. We will not be liable to you for any payment made that was in fact authorised by the terms of your PayTo Payment Agreement or Migrated DDR Mandate. 5.38 If you use a smartphone to do your banking, we recommend that you allow notifications from us on your Mobile device (by enabling notifications on your Mobile device settings) so that you may receive and respond to PayTo Payment Agreement creation requests, amendment requests and other notifications in a timely way. (See “Notifications on your Mobile device” in Section C.) 5.39 You acknowledge that PayTo functionality may be unavailable due to outages. Where we are unable to process your request (e.g. to cancel, amend or pause your PayTo Payment Agreement), we will notify you this in Online Mobile Banking, and you may need to contact your merchant or Payment Initiator to action your request. Our responsibilities. 5.40 We will accurately reflect all information you provide to us in connection with a PayTo Payment Agreement or a Migrated DDR Mandate in the Mandate Management Service. 5.41 In addition to any other rights we may have to refuse a service, we may monitor your PayTo Payment Agreements or Migrated DDR Mandate for misuse, fraud and security reasons. You acknowledge and consent to us pausing or cancelling all or some of your PayTo Payment Agreements or Migrated DDR Mandate if we reasonably suspect misuse, fraud or security issues. We will promptly notify you of any such action to pause or cancel your PayTo Payment Agreement via Online Banking, Mobile Banking, or email. Intellectual property relating to PayTo. 5.42 All intellectual property, including but not limited to the PayTo trademarks and all documentation, remains our property, or that of our licensors (our Intellectual Property). We grant to you a revocable royalty free, non-exclusive license (or where applicable, sub-license) to use our Intellectual Property for the sole purpose of using PayTo in a way that is consistent with these Terms and Conditions. 5.43 Where an intellectual property infringement claim is made against you, we will have no liability to you under this agreement to the extent that any intellectual property infringement claim is based upon: • modifications to our Intellectual Property by or on behalf of you in a manner that causes th e infringement; • use of any item in combination with any hardware, software or other products or services in a manner that causes the infringement and where such combination was not within the reasonable contemplation of the parties given the intended use of the item;
21 • your failure to use corrections or enhancements to our Intellectual Property that are made available to you (except where the use of corrections or enhancements would have caused a defect in PayTo or would have had the effect of removing functionality or adversely affecting the performance of PayTo); and • your failure to use our Intellectual Property in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. Privacy – PayID and PayTo. 5.44 When a person uses your PayID, they will be able to view your PayID and certain details linked to it (such as your name). This is to help reduce the chances of mistaken payments. You agree to the disclosure and use of your personal information by, and to, participating financial institutions, users of PayID payment services, and the providers of the PayID payment facilities (including NPP Australia Limited and BPAY) and their service providers. If you do not agree, we will not be able to offer PayID payment facilities to you. By authorising a PayTo Payment Agreement and/or permitting the creation of a Migrated DDR Mandate against your Account, you authorise us to collect, use, disclose and store (among other information): • your name and Account details; • details of your PayTo Payment Agreement(s) and Migrated DDR Mandate; and/or • other personal information (including sensitive personal information such as health information); (together, the Details), in the Mandate Management Service, for the purposes of: − creating payment instructions and messages, and − enabling us to make payments from your Account. You acknowledge that the Details (including sensitive information) may also be: • disclosed to the financial institution or payment processor for the merchant or Payment Initiator; and • contained in PayTo Payment Agreements that may be viewed and managed by authorised third parties, assigned Users in a Network with On-share Access, joint account holders and the nominated Users in your Network(s) with assigned access to the Account. Any personal information or data you provide to the merchant or Payment Initiator will be subject to the privacy policy and terms and conditions of the relevant merchant or Payment Initiator. 6. International Payments. 6.1 In order to make an International Payment you’ll need to be registered for a Security device. 6.2 International Payments will usually be available to the recipient within 2 Banking Days of us processing your Payment. However, we can’t guarantee this, and in some circumstances it may take longer. 6.3 Other financial institutions may be involved in handling your International Payment (such as the recipient’s financial institution or any intermediary financial institution) and they may impose fees and charges. Any overseas financial institution charges will be borne by the recipient of the International Payment and deducted from the payment amount. 6.4 An International Payment may be made in Australian dollars or a foreign currency, except in the case of a Fixed FX Transaction, where payment must be made in Australian dollars. If you ask us to transfer an amount in a foreign currency when making an International Payment (excluding a Fixed FX Transaction), we’ll convert the Payment amount from Australian dollars using the retail exchange rate we make available for the foreign currency on that day. When you make an International Payment in a foreign currency you’ll receive a confirmation of the Payment at the rate you purchased. 6.5 If we receive an International Payment or if an International Payment is returned (including if you asked us to request a return) by an overseas financial institution, (a) if the recipient account is denominated in the same currency as the International Payment, we’ll credit the Account with the amount received by us subject to 6.15.
22 (b) if the recipient account is denominated in a different currency to the International Payment, we’ll credit the Account with the Australian dollar equivalent after converting the received funds at our prevailing FX rate. For some currencies, there may be USD conversion before the Account is credited with the Australian dollar equivalent. Funds will then be credited to the nominated account in the International Payment instruction. 6.6 There is a maximum daily limit for International Payments that a User can approve. This limit appears in the Fixed FX section on our website. In addition, in the case of Fixed FX Transactions, there is a maximum cumulative limit for outstanding Fixed FX Transactions, a maximum tenor limit and maximum transaction limit. These limits appear in the International Payments section on our website at westpac.com.au/fixedfx 6.7 If the payment is less than the Foreign Currency Rate Sheet Limit, you may be told the indicative foreign exchange rate for the payment date and can approve the payment on this basis. A higher or lower rate may apply to the actual payment. This Part 6 section 7 is not applicable to Fixed FX Transactions. 6.8 If you request us to make a payment in a different currency to the drawing Account for a value of more than Foreign Currency Rate Sheet Limit, or we advise you at the time of creating the payment, you must fully approve the transaction on the payment date. By approving the transaction you accept the rate derived by us from current foreign exchange rates. We will enter into foreign exchange contracts on the foreign exchange market to lock in that rate. This Part 6 section 8 is not applicable to Fixed FX Transactions. 6.9 If an International Payment does not proceed for any reason, or you amend or alter any of the details of that payment, we will need to cancel the underlying foreign exchange contracts. As part of the cancellation process, it may sometimes be necessary to ‘unwind’ the underlying foreign exchange contracts used to lock in your International Payment rate. This will result in your International Payment being cancelled. A different or new rate will also be used in the cancellation process. Depending on market movements in the relevant foreign exchange rates, there could be a cost or gain arising as a result of cancellation. We will pass on to you any such cost or gain. This Part 6 section 9 is not applicable to Fixed FX Transactions. 6.10 A scheduled International Payment (including Recurring payments) is an International Payment scheduled for a future date, where the foreign exchange rate is (except in the case of a Fixed FX Transaction) determined on the payment date. A Fixed FX Transaction is an International Payment where it has been agreed to exchange Australian dollars into another currency, at an agreed rate on an agreed future date. In order to make a Fixed FX Transaction you will first need to opt-in to Fixed FX Transactions. For a Fixed FX Transaction created in a Shared Access or Business Network, the payment must be fully approved by all required Approvers (if any) within the period of time displayed on Westpac Online, to enter into a Fixed FX Transaction at an agreed rate. 6.11 The available currencies for Fixed FX Transactions appear in the International Payment section on our website at westpac.com.au/fixedfx . 6.12 If the value of a scheduled International Payment (including Recurring payments) is greater than the Foreign Currency Rate Sheet Limit, if the International Payment is created in a personal or business network, or if we advise you at the time of creating the payment; the International Payment must be fully approved on the payment date or, in the case of Fixed FX Transactions, must be fully approved any time up to (but excluding) the payment date. Such approval may not be possible if the payment date is not a Banking Day.
23 6.13 Scheduled International Payments (including Recurring Payments) can be cancelled from your payments list at any point, up until the payment date, except for Fixed FX Transactions, which can be cancelled at any time up to (but excluding) the payment date. 6.14 You should check your payments list to confirm that a scheduled International Payment (including a Recurring payment) has been processed. A rejected International Payment will need to be resubmitted for approval and processing. 6.15 International payments may be subject to specific requirements or restrictions, including requirements relating to the payee’s details (such as the payee name, address and account details) or country, currency and minimum value restrictions. Please sign in to Online Banking for notification of any requirements or restrictions that may be applicable to your intended international payment(s). Alternatively, you may receive notification of these requirements or restrictions at the time of making or setting up your international payment. These requirements, restrictions and conditions are subject to change from time to time at our discretion. 6.16 We may credit an inward International Payment to your account prior to us receiving the payment value from the sender’s bank. If, after crediting your account, we do not receive the payment value from the sender’s bank or correspondent bank, then we may debit that payment amount in full from your account, where there are sufficient available funds to do so, before we have resolved this matter with the sender’s bank. Should we be able to resolve any non-payment by the sender’s bank and we subsequently receive the payment value from the sender’s bank, we will credit your account with the amount received. 6.17 Account holders under 14 years old cannot make International Payments in Online Banking. They can make International Payments in branch. Account holders must be at least 18 years old to opt-in to Fixed FX Transactions. 7. Payment times. Cut-off times. 7.1 Payment instructions received after a cut-off time may not be processed until the next Business or Banking Day depending on the payment method. This may be the case even if Online Banking shows a change in Account balances resulting from the instruction given. Different cut-off times apply to different payment methods. Cut off times for B PAY payments are set out in Section E, clause 3.10. For other cut off times refer to the Help centre. 7.2 We may vary cut-off times. We’ll advise you of permanent or long term variations to cut-off times in accordance with the “Changes to Terms and Conditions” requirements. If we need to make temporary changes we may not give advance notice. 7.3 If you tell us to make an Online Banking transaction or payment before the applicable cut-off time, in most cases it’ll be treated as having been made on the same day. However, we may choose to process a transaction or payment on a day after the cut-off time for that day. (The date on which a B PAY payment is effective is worked out in accordance with Section E.) Delayed payments. 7.4 We will endeavour to process all instructions initiated through Online Banking promptly but there may be delays that are caused by factors beyond our control. If you should reasonably be aware that there are technical problems affecting an instruction, our liability is limited to correcting any errors and refunding any fees that we have charged you.
24 Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Obligations. When we may delay or refuse transactions. 7.5 In some circumstances, including where we consider it reasonably necessary to meet our regulatory and compliance obligations (including those relating to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing) or to manage associated risk, we may, without giving you notice, take such action including: • block or place a stop on your card; • delay, block, freeze or refuse a transaction; and/or • return a transaction amount to the account from which it was received or as we reasonably cons ider appropriate. These measures include where we have reasonable grounds to believe that: • a transaction breaches Australian law or sanctions (or the law or sanctions of any other country); or • a transaction involves a payment to, from or through a Sanctioned Jurisdiction; or • your account, Online Banking and/or card is being used in a manner we reasonably consider is unsatisfactory, fraudulently or in a way that might cause you or us to lose money; or • a payment made to your account is or may be a payment in error (including but not limited to fraudulent payments, or payments relating to a scam); or • you do not provide us with any document or information we reasonably request from you. We may take these measures for as long as we reasonably need. Westpac and its correspondents are not liable for any loss you suffer (including consequential loss) in connection with the relevant product or Online Banking. You provide us with the following undertakings and indemnify us against any potential losses arising from any breach by you of such undertakings: • you will not initiate, engage in or effect a transaction that may be in breach of Australian law or sanctions (or the law or sanctions of any other country) or that involves a payment to, from or through a Sanctioned Jurisdiction; • you will not access or use your Online Banking in a Sanctioned Jurisdiction; and • the underlying activity for which Online Banking is being provided does not breach any Australian law or sanctions (or the law or sanctions of any other country). You should also be aware that: • we may from time to time require additional information from you to assist us to comply with our regulatory and compliance obligations or to manage associated risk; and • where legally permitted to do so, we may disclose the information gathered to regulatory and/or law enforcement agencies, other banks, other members of the Westpac Group, service providers or to other third parties. 7.6 You provide Westpac the following undertakings and indemnify Westpac against any potential losses arising from any breach by you of such undertakings: • you must not initiate, engage in or effect a transaction that may be in breach of Australian law or sanctions (or the law or sanctions of any other country); and • the underlying activity for which any product is being provided does not breach any Australian law or sanctions (or the law or sanctions of any other country). You should also be aware that: • we may from time to time require additional information from you to assist us to comply with our regulatory and compliance obligations or to manage associated risk; and
25 • where legally permitted to do so, we may disclose the information gathered to regulatory and/or law enforcement agencies, other banks, other members of the Westpac Group, service providers or to other third parties. Payments made in error. 7.7 Where we reasonably believe that a payment made to your account may be a payment made in error, we may, without your consent, deduct from your account an amount no greater than the amount of the payment amount made in error and return it to the account from which they were received, or as we reasonably consider appropriate. A payment made in error includes a fraudulent payment, a payment as a result of a scam affecting you or another person, an over payment, a duplicate payment or a payment error. We will take steps, acting reasonably, to contact you in relation to a payment made in error where we consider it relates to a scam or fraud, unless we are unable. If you receive a Mistaken Internet Payment into your account, we may be required to act in accordance with the ePayments Code. See the ‘Mistaken Internet Payments’ section for more information. Scheduled payments (for eligible payment types). 7.8 Certain payment services allow you to schedule a Payment up to 24 months in advance as either a one off payment or a Recurring payment (provided that these payments options are available for your Account type). Not all payment services can be used to make Scheduled payments. You can find out more about the types of payment services that can be used to make Scheduled payments by visiting our website westpac.com.au 7.9 Cleared funds must be available at least a day before a Scheduled payment is due. A Scheduled payment may not be able to be made if: • there is an insufficient Available balance in the Account; or • the Payment will exceed the daily limit for the payment method (if applicable); or • the payment will exceed your Daily Payment Limit or the Business Daily Limit; or • the payment will exceed your Weekly Spend Limit; or • an invalid Account is selected; or • a User in a Network involved in the approval of a Recurring payment is no longer an Approver, no longer has access to the Account or has been removed from the Network. Note: For individual customers, Scheduled payments and Recurring payments will not be automatically cancelled when your Online Banking service is terminated. We recommend you cancel all Scheduled payments and Recurring payments in Online Banking before you request we terminate your On line Banking. 7.10 You can cancel or make a change to the amount or date of an individual payment before midnight (Sydney time) on the day before the payment date. A change to an individual Scheduled payment won’t change any other Scheduled payments to the same payee or the Recurring payment arrangement. To change the payment details for future payments in a Recurring payment arrangement, select the Payment from the Recurring payment list. 8. Payment Limits. 8.1 We may impose a maximum amount you may transfer from any one or more of the Accounts you can access using Online Banking per day, known as your Daily Payment Limit. 8.2 If you are under 14 years old, your Daily Payment Limit is set at $50 per day. You cannot change your Daily Payment Limit online however your parent or guardian that is an account signatory can do so by calling our contact centre or visiting a branch.
26 If you are an individual customer aged 14 years or over, the default Daily Payment Limit is $750 per day. You can change your Daily Payment Limit through the self-serve function on Online Banking or the Westpac App. We will notify you of the maximum limits available to you at the time you change your Daily Payment Limit in the Daily Payment Limit section within Online Banking. You will need to be registered for a Security device to amend the limit through Online Banking. You and any Users you add to your Online Banking with make payments access to Accounts will share your Daily Payment Limit (Refer to Part 2 for User access). This is the maximum amount that can be transferred from all the Accounts in the Personal Network per day. 8.3 You’ll need to be registered for a Security device at all times to have a Daily Payment Limit above the Maximum No Device Limit. If your Daily Payment Limit is above the Maximum No Device Limit and at any time you become deregistered from a Security device, the Daily Payment Limit that applies to you will be reduced to the Maximum No Device Limit. Further information concerning Daily Payment Limits can be found on our website at westpac.com.au and within the Help Centre section of Online Banking. 8.4 From 25 March 2024, you will be able to apply a Weekly Spend Limit in relation to Debit Mastercard transactions. This will allow you to set a limit on your cumulative weekly spend on your Debit Mastercard. This is an optional feature for existing customers. However, from 25 March 2024 the Weekly Spend Limit will be mandatory for new Debit Mastercard customers under the age of 14 who have their Debit Mastercard linked to a Choice Youth Account and have a third party with value access on their account. For these customers under the age of 14, the Weekly Spend Limit will be defaulted to $50 and cannot be removed but may be changed by the third party with value access on the account. Business Networks. 8.5 Each User with Approver access must be assigned a Daily Payment Limit. The default limit when registering a Business Network for the first Administrator will be $20,000 and subsequent Administrators will have a default limit of $5,000. 8.6 The Administrators will be notified within User administration if an Administrator requests to increase a Daily Payment Limit for a User. Please refer to User administration in Online Banking for the maximum Daily Payment Limits available under a Business Network. 8.7 We will notify you in accordance with Part 4 if there are any changes to the default Daily Payment Limits or the Maximum No Device Limit for individual customers. For details of the Daily Payment Limit assigned to each User you can call our contact centre. 8.8 The aggregated maximum amount across all the Accounts in a Business Network that can be approved each day is known as the Business Daily Limit. Part 2 of these Terms and Conditions describes this limit. What payment methods does the Payment Limit apply? 8.9 The Daily Payment Limit covers the following payment methods: • Pay Anyone payments • Same day – RTGS payments • Osko Payments • International Payments • B PAY payment to a Restricted B PAY biller • Direct Entry (if applicable) • Pay Anyone payment to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) (Business Networks only) 8.10 Unless the payment is to a Restricted B PAY biller, any B PAY payments made from an Account won’t count towards your Daily Payment Limit.
27 8.11 PayTo payments do not count towards your Daily Payment Limit or Business Daily Limit. 8.12 In addition to the Daily Payment Limit assigned to you, a daily limit may be applicable to certain payment methods for your security and the security of the Accounts. If the daily limit applicable to a payment method is exceeded, the payment won’t be processed on that day, whether or not you have sufficient funds available in your Daily Payment Limit. 8.13 For information on the payment methods applicable to the Weekly Spend Limit, please refer to the Westpac Debit Mastercard Terms and Conditions for personal customers. Changes to the Daily Payment Limit. 8.14 If a Daily Payment Limit is increased you should note that this increases your risk that an unauthorised person with knowledge of your Access codes may make larger withdrawals on the Account(s). You should therefore consider your limit carefully and only increase it when necessary or for a large one off payment. You may reduce your Daily Payment Limit at any time. 8.15 To better protect you from any ongoing risk of loss, theft or misuse we may lower your Daily Payment Limit where no Online Banking activity has occurred for an extended period (usually of 3 months or more). This is a security feature designed to reduce the risk of unauthorised transactions occurring on the Account(s) in Online Banking. We will give you notice when we do this in accordance with Part 4. We may not give you notice if we reduce the limit to restore security to Online Banking or individual Accounts as described in Part 4. 9. Important note on Payments. 9.1 We can’t verify Account Details for Payments made to non-Westpac accounts or Osko Payments. If the receiving financial institution has an account with the Account Details you enter, the Payment will usually be completed. 9.2 If the Account Details don’t match to an account, in most cases the Payment is returned to the Account by the receiving financial institution. You won’t be notified and the payment status in Online Banking won’t change. (That is, the returned amount is treated as a separate payment to the Account, and not a reversal of your original Payment transaction.) For this reason, please be careful when making Payments to th ird-par ty accounts, and check the Account Activity lists regularly for any returned Payments. 9.3 If you make a Payment in error and it’s not returned automatically by the receiving financial institution, it m ay not be recoverable. For more information on the process for recovering a Mistaken Internet Payment refer to Section D. For other Payment methods, refer to the Terms and Conditions for th e Account. 9.4 If you have the permission to create multiple Payments, you need to carefully review the details for each Payment including the Account Details. You will be given the option to save the Payment details into a Payment template after the Payments are approved. 9.5 If we are notified that an Account holder on a joint account dies and we consent to the surviving Account holder’s or their Authorised representative’s request for the Account to remain open, the surviving Account holder or their Authorised representative will be liable for all payments that have been authorised by the late Account holder (or authorised on their behalf) in Online Banking including any Recurring payments and future dated payments, unless the surviving Account holder or their Authorised representative requests us to cancel the payments. 10. Receipts and records. 10.1 We’ll provide you with a payment ID – a unique transaction number – and a deposit receipt number each time you make an Online Banking transaction. You should keep this record in case you have any queries in relation to the transaction.

It will usually record the transactions and available balance of an Account up to the close of business on the previous Business Day, but may show the effect of some transactions since the previous Business Day. Information shown through Online Banking at a particular time may be adjusted after that time to reflect the true position between you and us, for example if a cheque is dishonoured. 11.2 When you sign into Online Banking for the first time, the record of transactions on an Account may not be available. These transaction records will usually be available the following Business Day. 11.3 Online Banking and the services and functions you can access through it may be affected by such things as system outages or scheduled maintenance and may not be available at all times. 11.4 Online Banking may be unavailable due to scheduled outages or due to factors beyond our control, such as your internet connection. 11.5 The balances given in a regular balance alert or insufficient funds alert are current as at the time and date given within the alert message. 11.6 If you set up Quick Balance on your Mobile device, you can view the balances as described in 11.1 above, for your chosen Accounts without signing into Mobile Banking each time. For the most up-to-date information available we encourage you to sign in to Mobile Banking. The information will be viewable by anyone who has access to your Mobile device. You can also turn off Quick Balance through Online Banking for your security. 12.

If you are eligible to receive paper statements on your nominated Account(s) and you stop receiving paper statements, you can revert to paper statements at any time by changing your preferences in Online Banking or contacting us. 12.2 If you receive statements through Online Banking we’ll send an email to your nominated email address and your Message inbox in Online Banking, advising that your statement is available.

Suspension and termination. 14.1 You agree that you will not use Online Banking to transmit, share, or save any content, including via any payment methods (for example, text in payment descriptions for Osko Payments), when using any of the Money Management features described in clause 17, or when making a request for payment, that in o ur opinion: • includes inappropriate, crude or insulting language; • is defamatory or otherwise unlawful; and/or • promotes or is, harassing, abusive, intimidating or threatening, including any threats of physical violence or mental harm, to any other person. If, in our opinion, you do not comply with this clause we may refuse to process a payment or payment request and/or suspend or terminate your use of Online Banking in accordance with clause 14.2. 14.2 We may suspend or terminate your access to Online Banking or any other account access methods, or suspend or terminate your access to certain features within Online Banking without giving you notice where we reasonably believe your access should be suspended or terminated. This includes where we believe that there is a risk of fraud or security breach, you do not comply with clause 14.1 above, where you have not accessed Online Banking for a period of 6 months or more, or where we reasonably suspect that you are residing in a Sanctioned Jurisdiction. Should you require assistance, please call our con tact centre. If you are travelling to a Sanctioned Jurisdiction, we may without giving you notice suspend your access to Online Banking or any other account access methods while you are in that jurisdiction.
30 14.3 We may from time to time require additional documentation or information from you to assist us to comply with our regulatory and compliance obligations or to manage associated risks. Where you do not provide us with any document or information we reasonably request, we may, with reasonable notice, suspend or terminate your access to Online Banking or to certain features within Online Banking. We may choose not to provide you with notice if we determine it is reasonably necessary. 14.4 You may terminate your use of Online Banking at any time by giving us written notice, making a request in the Mobile Banking App, or calling our contact centre. 15. Chat service in Online Banking. 15.1 We may give you access to our chat service in Online Banking, where you may chat with the virtual assistant (bot). The virtual assistant provides self-service support and generic, factual information only. It does not take into account your personal circumstances or any information you may provide through the chat service or have previously provided to us. You may be connected to an available member of our staff if needed. 15.2 The virtual assistant and our staff cannot perform any Online Banking transaction over the chat service. 15.3 Where the virtual assistant or our staff (if you have been connected to a human) is not able to assist with your query over the chat service, we may refer you to our Telephone Banking team or a Westpac branch. Telephone Banking Terms and Conditions apply to telephone banking (which is available at westpac.com.au ). 15.4 Please don’t provide personal information over the chat service unless specifically requested.

You can also request a copy of a transcript from us through the chat service. 16. Open Banking – Consumer Data Right. 16.1 Open Banking gives you the ability to share your banking information with Accredited Data Recipients that you trust, online. To use Open Banking to share your data with Westpac that we hold in our capacity as a Data Holder, you will need to be registered for Online Banking and satisfy other eligibility criteria. If you/a Business Network’s Administrator or nominated User ask us to share your/the Business Network Owner’s data via Open Banking, this will not affect any existing data sharing permissions on your Account in Online Banking that are not related to Open Banking. We may also require you to be registered for Online Banking in order for you to share your Open Banking data with Westpac in our capacity as an Accredited Data Recipient. Open Banking for Business Networks. 16.2 If a Business Network Owner has activated the Open Banking feature at registration for Online Banking or by request, or the feature has been automatically enabled for a Business Network from 17 January 2026, Administrators are able to nominate themselves or other Users to give, amend and manage authorisations to share the Business Network Owner’s Open Banking Account data with Accredited Data Recipients and revoke any such nominations. All of the Business Network Owner’s Open Banking Accounts will be available to the Administrator or nominated User to select some or all of these Open Banking Accounts for data sharing. Open Banking Accounts include accounts that are open, closed, not visible in Online Banking and accounts that the Administrator or nominated User may not have access to in Online Banking.
31 Business Network Owners can disable the Open Banking feature by contacting us (a form may be required to be completed). This will remove the ability of all Administrators for the Business Network to nominate themselves or other Users, to give, amend and manage authorisations to share the Business Network Owner’s Open Banking Account data with Accredited Data Recipients on behalf of the Business Network Owner. Disabling the Open Banking feature will also revoke any existing authorisations to share data on behalf of the Business Network Owner. Open Banking for joint accounts held by individual customers. 16.3 Clauses 16.3 to 16.8 are effective from 4 August 2022, only relate to joint accounts held by individual customers and only apply with respect to Open Banking activities. 16.4 From 4 August 2022, Westpac will implement changes to the way that data sharing is authorised for joint accounts held by individual customers as set out below: (a) If a joint account held by an individual customer has not been enabled for data sharing prior to 4 August 2022, Westpac will automatically enable the account for data sharing. See clause 16.5 for information on what a joint account being ‘enabled’ for data sharing means. (b) If a joint account has already been enabled for data sharing (prior to 4 August 2022), it will continue to be enabled for data sharing. (c) If prior to 4 August 2022, a joint account has previously been disabled for data sharing by a joint account holder, it will remain disabled for data sharing. See clause 16.6 for information on what a joint account being ‘disabled’ for data sharing means. (d) If a proposal to enable data sharing is ‘pending’ approval (if not all joint account holders have approved the proposal to enable data sharing ) on 4 August 2022, the joint account holders will have a specified period of time to respond to the approval request and if a response is not received, the joint account will remain disabled for data sharing. See clause 16.6 for information on what a joint account being ‘disabled’ for data sharing means. 16.5 The joint account must be ‘enabled’ for an account holder to authorise Westpac to share data on that joint account. When a joint account is enabled, any Open Banking data sharing authorisations created by one account holder are taken to have been pre-approved by all account holders. This means that any joint account holder can authorise Westpac to share data on the joint account with an Accredited Data Recipient, without requiring further approval from any other joint account holder, when Westpac receives a valid data sharing request from an Accredited Data Recipient in respect of that joint account. This is despite any existing banking authorities (i.e. method of operation) that apply to the joint account such as a ‘two to sign’, ‘two or more to sign’ or ‘all to sign’ authority. 16.6 When a joint account is ‘disabled’ for data sharing, this means that Westpac will not share any data relating to the joint account with an Accredited Data Recipient (even if Westpac receives a valid data sharing request from an Accredited Data Recipient). If the joint account is disabled for data sharing and the joint account holders wish to enable data sharing, either joint account holder may propose to change the data sharing status of the joint account through the online consent dashboard in Online Banking. All joint account holders must approve the proposal before the joint account is enabled for data sharing, within a specified period of time. 16.7 Any joint account holder can view the joint account’s data sharing option or change it to disabled at any time through the online consent dashboard in Online Banking. Once the data sharing is set to disabled: (a) data sharing will cease for the joint account with respect to any existing data sharing authorisations; (b) no joint account holder will be able to share data from that account; (c) any subsequent request made on the online consent dashboard in Online Banking to enable data sharing on the joint account will need to be approved by all joint account holders within a specified period of time.
32 16.8 Joint account holders will be notified whenever the data sharing status of the joint account changes. Joint account holders will also be notified when another joint account holder creates, amends or withdraws an authorisation to share data with an Accredited Data Recipient or an authorisation has expired, unless the joint account holder has nominated not to receive these notifications. Visit westpac.com.au/openbanking for further information about Open Banking. 17. Money Management. Transaction Categorisation. 17.1 Eligible transactions on your Account for profiles within your own name will be automatically grouped into pre-defined sub-categories within Mobile Banking. All Users who have access to an Account will have the ability to view and update the sub-category of a transaction, and the applied sub-category will be viewable by all Users. While we do our best to categorise transactions by matching the transaction description to the pre-defined sub-categories, at times the applied sub-category may not reflect your preference. If this is the case, for most transactions you and any Users with access to the Account will have the ability to update the sub-category with another sub-category from the available list, or create a new, customised sub-category, which can also be applied to other transactions and viewed by anyone with access to the Account. 17.2 In addition to clause 17.1, all Users with access to an Account can view and amend any additional details generated in respect of a particular transaction, which include the transaction tags and su b-catego ries attached to the transaction. If a User who created a customised sub-category no longer has access to an Account, that sub-category will be removed for all transactions that it was applied to. All impacted transactions will then be displayed as ‘Uncategorised’. 18. Cardless Cash 18.1 Definitions. In this section, the following meanings apply, in addition to the Meaning of Words at the end of th is docum ent: Card means any authorised card issued by us to link to your Eligible Westpac transaction account. Eligible Westpac transaction account means a Westpac deposit account for which Cardless Cash is available from time to time. A current list of eligible accounts can be found at westpac.com.au/faq/cardlesscash-eligible-accounts . Cardless Cash is not available for accounts where the method of operation is ‘two or more to sign’. 18.2 Cardless Cash. Cardless Cash is a Mobile Banking feature that allows customers with an active Card to withdraw cash using a one-time Cash Code at select Westpac-branded ATMs in Australia (without using a physical card). 18.3 Cardless Cash Limits. Cardless Cash withdrawal limits: • apply to both the value and number of Cardless Cash transactions. • apply separately from your Card’s daily withdrawal limit, Daily Payment Limit, or Business Daily Limit. Only your Weekly Spend Limit can override them (refer to Deposit Account for Personal Cu stomers T&C s). For details on Cardless Cash limits, visit our website and search “Cardless Cash Limit”.
33 18.4 Security and Liability. You must keep your Cash Code and Mobile device secure. Never enter your Cash Code at an ATM that appears suspicious, has been modified, or has a suspicious device attached to it. Liability for losses, including those resulting from unauthorised transactions, is determined under Sec tion D of these T&Cs and the relevant provisions applying to your Eligible Westpac transaction account. If there is any inconsistency between these Online Banking T&Cs and the T&Cs applying to your Eligible Westpac transaction account, these Online Banking T&Cs will prevail to the extent of tha t inconsistency . Section D – Security and liability.
- Access codes. 1.1 Access codes function as the keys to an Account. Anyone who has them can carry out actions on the Account, including completing transactions. Because of this you must take special care to protect them. (Note: Cardless Cash is only available for Eligible Westpac transaction account: see section 18.) 1.2 You must ensure that your Access codes are kept secure. The requirements for protecting your Access codes are set out in clause 4 below. You must ensure that all Users comply with these requirements. 1.3 You must not disclose your Access code to anyone, including family members, friends and our staff. 1.4 If you enter any of your Access codes incorrectly 3 consecutive times, your Online Banking may be suspended and you won’t have access to Online Banking. If this occurs, please call our contact centre to reactivate your Online Banking access. Cash Codes will become invalid after three unsuccessful attempts, such as when the correct Cash Code is entered but the amount is incorrect or the transaction is attempted at a non - designated ATM.
- Sign in using Passwords, Passkeys, Mobile passcodes and biometric information. 2.1 When you register for Online Banking you may be provided with a temporary Password (unless you are under 12 years old). If you are under 12, an account signatory will be provided with the Password. You must change this Password when you first access Online Banking and ensure any User does the same. 2.2 It is very important that your Passkey, Password, and every User’s Passkey and Password, remains secure. Ways to achieve this include: • choosing a Password that nobody could guess, not using one that includes your name, date of birth (or part thereof) or a combination of these, and not using the same password that is used for other services such as your email service; and • keeping your Passkey and Mobile devices secure. Don’t allow others to access or use them, avoid registering anyone else’s biometrics on your devices, and don’t store any credentials on shared or unsecured devices or password manager applications. 2.3 If you use Mobile Banking, you can access your Mobile Banking using your Customer ID and Password. You may be given an opportunity to select a Mobile passcode, Passkey or choose to use biometric information such as the fingerprints or facial data you store on your Mobile device for accessing Mobile Banking through your chosen Mobile device. Selecting a Mobile passcode, Passkey, or using the stored biometric information to sign in to Mobile Banking are alternatives to entering the Password each time. We will notify you through the Mobile device when you can choose to set up these options to sign in to Tabl et Banking.
34 2.4 You can sign in by using a Passkey or biometric information where your Mobile device allows you to control access to it using, for example, any fingerprint or facial data you store in the device. If you wish to sign in using biometric information (including for using a Passkey), you should ensure that only your biometric information is stored on the Mobile device. Each time the Mobile device registers a use of biometric information to authorise any transactions through Westpac Mobile Banking or Westpac Tablet Banking (as applicable), you instruct us to perform those transactions (including sign-in to Mobile Banking). 2.5 In addition to ensuring your Mobile device is secure, it is very important that each Passkey, Mobile passcode or biometric information used in connection with that Mobile device, remain secure. 2.6 If we suspect the security of your Password, Passkey, or Mobile passcode has been breached, you’ll be required to change it. 3. Security Codes. 3.1 In order to make certain Online Banking transactions, including changes to your Online Banking settings you’ll need to be registered for a Security device, for example Westpac Protect SMS Code service. 3.2 Once you’re registered you may need to enter the Security Code provided for particular transactions or activity, including: • create new and amend payee and biller details; • creating a PayID; • authorising/managing a PayTo Payment Agreement; • a new Pay Anyone payment (i.e. a payment to a person whom you have not already made a Pay Anyone payment); • a new B PAY payment (i.e. a B PAY payment using a biller code and reference number combination that you have not previously used for a B PAY payment); • a Same day – RTGS payment; • an International Payment (not applicable for Online Banking for business); • an instruction to withdraw funds from or close a Term Deposit account; • update your contact details; • Administrators to access and make any changes in User administration; and • any other feature that may be deemed to require additional authentication based on our security controls and monitoring. 3.3 If you are no longer registered for a Security device at any time it may have the effect of immediately reducing your Daily Payment Limit as described in the section Daily Payments Limits in Section C. You can cancel your registration for a Security device by contacting us, or if you are a Business Network User, the Administrator can cancel your registration in User administration. 3.4 If you are registered for a Security device call our contact centre for assistance if you need to approve a transaction and: • your Mobile phone or Security device has been lost or stolen • your Mobile phone or Security device is not operational • If you are registered for SMS Code: − you don’t have access to the Mobile phone − you’re out of phone range, or − the SMS Code service is not operational.
35 Westpac Protect™ Security Code. 3.5 We will send the Westpac Protect SMS Code by SMS to your Mobile phone, and you’ll need to promptly enter that Access code in Online Banking for the transaction to be processed. 3.6 We recommend you nominate a Mobile phone number used only by you. If the Mobile phone is also used by other people, they may receive, or be able to access your SMS Code messages. If you tell us your Mobile phone number is changing via Online Banking, we’ll send an SMS to your old number. If you call our contact centre to tell us about this change, we’ll send an SMS to both the old and new num bers. 3.7 We don’t charge you a fee for sending a SMS Code to your Mobile phone. However, your Mobile phone service provider may impose fees and charges, including fees and charges for sending and receiving SMS messages. The payment of any such fees and charges is the responsibility of the Mobile phone account holder. If you have any concerns regarding such fees and charges speak with your service provide r. 3.8 If you have provided Push Notification permissions on your Mobile device and you are registered for our Westpac Protect™ SMS Code service, we may automatically enrol your device for Security Codes via the Westpac App, where you will receive your security codes via Push Notification. 3.9 If your SMS Code becomes suspended or is deregistered, we will also deregister all your Mobile devices from receiving Security Codes via the Westpac App. 3.10 You can manage your Mobile devices that receive Security Codes, including opting out of receiving Security Codes via the Westpac App, by deregistering your device(s) in Online Banking or calling our contact centre. 3.11 If you remove all Mobile devices from receiving Push Notifications, we will also deregister you from receiving Security Codes via the Westpac App. However, we may auto-register you again if you register for Push Notifications at a later date. 3.12 The mobile number you register for SMS Codes is the number that SafeCalls will be redirected to if you do not pick up our call through your banking app. Tokens. 3.13 If you are registered to hold a Token you agree that the Token issued to you remains our property, and agree to return the Token to us immediately: • upon our request; • on cancellation of Online Banking; or • on termination of your authority to use the Security device by us or any Administrator. 3.14 You must keep any Token secure and in a location where unauthorised people can’t access it. 4. Protecting your Access codes. 4.1 To protect your Access codes you must: • not tell anyone your Access codes, including family members, friends and our staff; • try to memorise them; • destroy any documentation or communication we issue to you that contains an Access code; • not write your Access codes including your Password or Mobile passcode on your computer, Mobile phone, Mobile device or Security device, even if disguised; • not keep a record of your Access codes with or near your computer, Mobile phone, Mobile device or Security device; • not tell anyone your Access codes, including family members, friends and our staff; • not select as your Access code a number or word that can easily be associated with you, such as your date of birth, phone number, driver’s licence number, or part of your name; and • make sure nobody watches you or hears you when you’re entering or using your Access codes at electronic equipment.
36 4.2 If you make a record of your Access codes you must either take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorised access to the record or ensure it is reasonably disguised. We don’t consider it a reasonable attempt to disguise an Access code if you only: • record it in reverse order; • record it as a series of numbers with any of them marked to indicate the Access code; • record the Access code as a phone number with the Access code in its correct sequence within th e number; • record the Access code as a telephone number where no other telephone numbers are recorded; or • disguise the Access code as a date or as an amount. There may be other forms of disguise which may be similarly unsuitable because of the ease of another person working out your Access code. 4.3 If you make a record of your Access code you must keep that record separate and well away from any electronic equipment (such as a computer or Mobile phone) or any other Access code or Security device you use to access Online Banking unless the Access code is reasonably disguised. 4.4 If you’re registered for a Security device, to protect the Accounts you must: • keep your Security device secure and in a location where unauthorised people can’t access it; • not write your Customer number, Password on, or store them in an unprotected manner in or on the Security device; and • not keep a record of your Customer number, Password near the Security device. 4.5 If you’re using Mobile Banking, you must also not write your Customer number, Password or Mobile passcode on your Mobile device or keep a record of any of them near the Mobile device. What you must do if you suspect an unauthorised transaction, loss of Security devices or breach of security of Access codes. 4.6 If you suspect the security of any Access code has been breached, your Mobile device has been lost, stolen or misused, your Security device or the Mobile phone you use to receive Westpac Protect™ Security Codes has been lost, stolen or misused, or an unauthorised transaction has occurred you mu st ensure: • you call our contact centre immediately (details are at the front of these Terms and Conditions); • the Access code (excluding Customer number) is changed. Note: for Cardless Cash, the Cash Code must be cancelled; • the Mobile device is de-authorised for Mobile Banking; • the Security device (excluding Customer number) is replaced; and • you inform us that SMS Codes should no longer be sent to the Mobile phone number. 4.7 We’ll give you the notification number or some other form of acknowledgment which you should retain as evidence of the date and time of your report of a suspected breach. 4.8 If you can’t contact us by phone because our emergency telephone numbers are unavailable, you’ll not be responsible for any unauthorised use of Online Banking which could have been prevented if you were able to contact us by phone provided you tell us of the loss, theft or misuse of your Security device or Mobile phone or suspected breach of security of your Access code(s) within a reasonable time after our contact numbers become available again. 5. Liability. 5.1 Liability for any losses resulting from unauthorised transactions made using Online Banking will be determined by us in accordance with the ePayments Code, where that Code applies to the transaction. 5.2 For the purposes of this clause 5, a reference to you or your means the Account holder of the Account from which an unauthorised transaction has occurred.
37 5.3 You are responsible to ensure when you grant access to your Account(s) to another Online Banking service, that the owner of that Online Banking service notifies you of any changes to the Daily Payment Limit, Weekly Spend Limit and/or Business Daily Limit. Any increase to these limits may increase your liability for unauthorised transactions. When you are not liable. 5.4 You’ll not be liable for losses resulting from unauthorised transactions made using Online Banking where it is clear that you or a User have not contributed to the loss. 5.5 You’ll also not be liable for losses resulting from unauthorised transactions made using Online Banki ng that: • are caused by the fraudulent or negligent conduct of our employees or agents or companies involved in networking arrangements, or merchants or their agents or employees; • happen before you or a User receives or selects an Access code and/or Security device (including any reissued Access code or Security device); • happen after we have been notified that a Security device or Mobile phone has been misused, lost or stolen or that the security of any Access code has been breached; • relate to any component of a Security device, an Access code or Identifier that is forged, faulty, expired, or cancelled; and • are the result of the same transaction being incorrectly debited more than once to the same account. In the above situations we will credit the amount of the unauthorised transaction to the Account. When you are liable. 5.6 You’ll be liable for losses resulting from transactions which are carried out by you, a User or by another person with the knowledge and consent of you or of any User. 5.7 You’ll be liable for actual losses resulting from unauthorised transactions made using Online Banking caused by you or a User: • engaging in fraud; • voluntarily disclosing any of their Access codes to anyone, including a family member or friend; • keeping a record of an Access code without making a reasonable attempt to disguise it or to prevent unauthorised access to it in accordance with clause 4; • where more than one Access code is required, recording both (or all) of the codes in a way that they could be lost or stolen together. For transactions where a Security device is required this includes keeping a record of an Access code in a way that could be stolen with their Mobile phone, Mobile device or Security device; • writing their Access codes or a disguised record of their Access codes on their Mobile phone or Security device ; • selecting an Access code which represents their date of birth (or part thereof), or being an alphabetical code which is a recognisable part of their name, after we have asked them not to select such an Access code and told them of the consequences of doing so; or • acting with extreme carelessness in failing to protect the security of their Access codes. 5.8 You’ll also be liable for actual losses resulting from unauthorised transactions made using Online Banking caused by the User unreasonably delaying notifying us of the misuse, loss or theft of a Mobile phone or Security device (including devices with Passkeys saved on them) or their Access code(s) or Passkeys becoming known to someone else. 5.9 In these cases your liability will only extend to losses which occur between the time when you or a User became aware (or should reasonably have become aware) of such misuse, loss or theft and when we were actually notified. This limit on liability does not apply to customers of Online Banking for business, please refer to below section “Online Banking for business”.
38 5.10 However, you’ll not be liable to pay for: • that portion of the losses incurred in a period which exceed any transaction limit for that period; • that portion of the losses incurred which exceed the balance of their account(s), including any pre-arranged credit; • losses incurred on any accounts which the Account holder or Authorised representative(s) and Westpac had not agreed could be accessed using Online Banking; or • losses occurring after we have been notified that a Security device that has been issued, has been lost or stolen or that the security of the Access code(s) has been breached. 5.11 Your liability is subject to Westpac proving on the balance of probability that a User contributed to the losses in one or more of the ways listed above. 5.12 If more than one Access code is required to perform a transaction and we prove that a User breached the security requirements for one or more, but not all, of those codes, you will be liable under this clause only if we also prove, on the balance of probabilities, that the breach of the security requirements was more than 50% responsible for the losses. 5.13 In circumstances where it is unclear whether you (or a User) contributed to the loss, you will only be liable for losses resulting from unauthorised transactions made using Online Banking to a limited extent. Your liability in such cases will be the least of: • $150.00; • the balance of the Account on which the unauthorised transactions were made; or • the actual loss incurred before we are notified of the misuse, loss or theft of a Security device, or Access codes becoming known to someone else (excluding that portion of the loss incurred on any one day which exceeds the applicable Daily Payment Limit). Online Banking for business. 5.14 In circumstances where it is unclear whether you (or a User) contributed to the loss, you will only be liable for losses resulting from unauthorised transactions made using Online Banking to a limited extent. Your liability in such cases will be the least of: • the balance of the Account on which the unauthorised transactions were made; or • the actual loss incurred before we are notified of the misuse, loss or theft of a Security device, or Access codes becoming known to someone else (excluding that portion of the loss incurred on any one day which exceeds the applicable Daily Payment Limit). 5.15 You will also be liable for losses resulting from an Administrator or User accessing Online Banking via a computer that you know contains software that has the ability to reveal to a third party, or to otherwise compromise, Access codes and/or customer information, including account information. 6. Mistaken Internet Payments. 6.1 This clause only applies to an individual customer’s Pay Anyone Payment and Osko Payment. This clause does not apply to: (a) B PAY payments. See Section E of these Terms and Conditions for what to do if you believe a B PAY payment has been affected by a mistake; and (b) business customer Pay Anyone Payments; and (c) Same day – RTGS payments. See the Account terms and conditions for what to do if you believe a payment has been affected by a mistake. 6.2 You should report Mistaken Internet Payments to us as soon as you become aware of them. You can report Mistaken Internet Payments to us in Online Banking, by visiting a Westpac branch or by calling Telephone Banking.
39 6.3 We will acknowledge receipt of your report of a mistaken internet payment, conduct an investigation into that mistaken internet payment, and inform you in writing of the outcome of our investigation within 30 business days of the day on which you made the report. If you are unhappy with how your report was dealt with, you have a right to complain to us. Information on our complaints procedure is set out in this document. If you are still not satisfied with our response or handling of your complaint, you have the right to complain to the external resolution scheme, the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA). AFCA’s contact details are set out in the “Feedback and Complaints” section of this document. How we deal with Mistaken Internet Payments. 6.4 Mistaken Internet Payments will be dealt with by us in accordance with the ePayments Code, where that Code applies to the payment. This section provides a summary of the processes in that Code. 6.5 We may be the sending institution, that is the financial institution whose customer made the payment or the receiving institution, that is the financial institution whose customer received the payment (this customer is the unintended recipient of the payment). We will be the sending institution where the payment is made from your Westpac Account. We will be the receiving institution where the payment is made to your Westpac Account. 6.6 Where a financial institution other than us is the receiving or sending financial institution, we can’t guarantee that it’ll follow the processes in the ePayments Code. A financial institution is unlikely to follow these processes if it is not an authorised deposit-taking institution for the purposes of the Banking Act. We are not liable for any loss suffered if it doesn’t follow those processes. 6.7 Where the sending institution is not satisfied that a payment is a Mistaken Internet Payment, it is not required to take any further action, however it may choose to contact the unintended recipient and explain that a person has claimed that a transaction was mistaken. 6.8 Notwithstanding anything set out below, where the unintended recipient of the Mistaken Internet Payment is receiving income support payments from Services Australia or the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, the receiving institution must recover the funds from that recipient in accordance with the Code of Operation: Recovery of Debts from Customer Nominated Bank Accounts in receipt of Services Australia income support payments or Department of Veterans’ Affairs payments. 6.9 Where you or another financial institution advises us that you are, or we think you may be, the sender or recipient of a Mistaken Internet Payment, you must give us, as soon as reasonably practicable and within the time we request, any information we reasonably require to enable us to determine whether the payment was a Mistaken Internet Payment. Where sufficient funds are available in the unintended recipient’s account. 6.10 Where the sending institution is satisfied that the Mistaken Internet Payment occurred and there are sufficient credit funds available in the account of the unintended recipient to the value of the Mistaken Internet Payment, the process that will apply will depend upon when the report of the mistaken transaction is made. Where the report is made within 10 business days of the payment. 6.11 If the receiving institution is satisfied that a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred, it will return the funds to the sending institution within 5 Business Days of the request or any reasonably longer period up to a maximum of 10 Business Days. Where the report is made between 10 business days and 7 months of the payment. 6.12 The receiving institution will investigate the payment and complete the investigation within 10 Business Days of receiving a request.
40 6.13 If the receiving institution is satisfied that a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred, it will prevent the unintended recipient from withdrawing the funds for a further 10 Business Days and notify the unintended recipient that they will withdraw the funds if that recipient does not establish they are entitled to the funds within that 10 day period. 6.14 If the unintended recipient does not establish they are entitled to the funds within that time, the receiving institution will return the funds to the sending institution within 2 Business Days of the end of that period. Where a report is made more than 7 months after the payment. 6.15 If the receiving institution is satisfied a Mistaken Internet Payment occurred, it must seek the consent of the unintended recipient to return the funds. 6.16 In each case where the receiving institution is not satisfied that a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred, it may (but is not required to) seek consent of the unintended recipient to return the funds. 6.17 In each case, where the funds are returned to the sending institution, it will return the funds to the source Account as soon as practicable. Where sufficient funds are not available. 6.18 Where both the sending and receiving institution are satisfied that a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred but there are not sufficient credit funds available in the account of the unintended recipient, the receiving institution will use reasonable endeavours to recover the funds from the unintended recipient. Where you receive a Mistaken Internet Payment. 6.19 Where: • both we and the sending institution are satisfied that a payment made to your account is a Mistaken Internet Payment; and • sufficient credit funds are available in your account to the value of that payment; and • the Mistaken Internet Payment is reported 7 months or less after the payment; and • for Mistaken Internet Payments reported between 10 business days and 7 months of the payment, you don’t establish that you are entitled to the payment within the relevant 10 business day period referred to in clause 6.13; we will, without your consent and in accordance with the ePayments Code, deduct from your account an amount equal to that mistaken payment and send that amount to the financial institution of the payer in accordance with clause 6.11 or 6.14 above. 6.20 If there are insufficient funds in your account, you must co-operate with us to facilitate payment by you of an amount of the Mistaken Internet Payment to the payer. 6.21 We can prevent you from withdrawing funds that are the subject of a Mistaken Internet Payment where we are required to do so to meet our obligations under the ePayments Code. Liability for losses arising from Mistaken Internet Payments. 6.22 You must ensure that Internet payment details are correct. You and any User are responsible for providing correct payment details including amount and payee details. We will return to you any funds recovered by us on your behalf from an unintended recipient in respect of a Mistaken Internet Payment in accordance with this clause 6, but otherwise have no liability to you or your user for any payment made in accordance with details provided by you or your user including Mistaken Internet Payments.
41 Section E – B PAY. Introduction. (a) As a member of the B PAY Scheme and a subscriber to B PAY Payments, we offer B PAY Payments to our customers. B PAY Payments is an electronic payments service through which you can ask us to make payments on your behalf to organisations known as Billers who tell you that you can make payments to them through the B PAY Payments payment service. (b) We offer some of our customers the ability to make payments to multiple bills by submitting Payer Directions using a batch entry method. A customer who is eligible to make Batch Payer Directions may compile and transmit a computer file or use any other tool to submit Payer Directions to us, in favour or one or more Billers. (c) In addition to B PAY Payments, we also offer our customers a related service, B PAY View. B PAY View is a service that allows you to receive or access bills or statements electronically from participating Billers nominated by you and which enables you to choose to pay the Biller electronically using a payment method accepted by the Biller. (d) You acknowledge that B PAY View functionality is not available for Payments made using Batch Pa yer Directions. (e) We will tell you if we are no longer a member of the B PAY Scheme or if our subscription to B PAY Payments and/or B PAY View is cancelled and/or if we are no longer able to accept Batch Payer Directions.
- B PAY Terms and Conditions. 1.1 The terms and conditions set out in this section apply when you make a payment through the B PAY Scheme. The B PAY terms and conditions apply in addition to the account terms and conditions. 1.2 In relation to your use of B PAY , if there is any inconsistency between these B PAY terms and conditions and any other terms and conditions (such as those that apply to an Account) then these terms and conditions will apply to the extent of that inconsistency.
- B PAY Scheme. 2.1 We are a member of the B PAY Scheme. We’ll tell you if we’re no longer a member of the B PAY Scheme. 2.2 For the purposes of the B PAY Scheme, we may also be a biller and you may nominate us as a biller for the purposes of your use of B PAY View. You may be able to make a transfer from an account at another financial institution which is a member of the B PAY Scheme to an Account you have with us.
- B PAY payments. 3.1 You can use the B PAY service of Online Banking to pay any of your bills displaying the B PAY logo. Account holders under 14 years old cannot make B PAY Payments in Online Banking. They can make B PAY payments through Telephone Banking. You may select to pay your bills on either the current date or a date up to 24 months in the future. 3.2 When we make a B PAY payment on your behalf we are not acting as your agent or the agent of the biller to whom that payment is directed. Making a payment. 3.3 You don’t need to register for B PAY in order to make a B PAY payment. To make a payment using B PAY payments, you must provide us with a valid payment direction.
42 3.4 We will treat your payment direction as valid, if you comply with the security procedures and you must give us the information specified below: • the Account you want us to debit the payment from; • the amount you wish to pay; • the biller code of the biller you wish to pay (this can be found on your bill, or can be selected from your existing biller list if you have previously made a payment to this biller); and • your customer reference number (this can be found on the bill or invoice you receive from the biller). 3.5 You acknowledge that we are not obliged to effect a payment if you do not give us all of the required information, if any of the information that you give us is inaccurate, or if you do not comply with the security procedures. 3.6 If your payment direction is valid, we’ll debit your nominated Account with the amount you specify. Details of B PAY payments, including a receipt number, will appear on your Account statement. 3.7 If you are registered for a Security device and are making a payment to a new B PAY biller and customer reference number combination you’ve not paid before, you’ll be required to enter an Access code to confirm your payment. 3.8 If there aren’t sufficient cleared funds in the Account at the time you tell us to make a B PAY payment, we may : • decline to make the payment; or • use our discretion to honour the payment. In either case (in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Account) we may charge a fee to the Account. For details refer to the terms and conditions for the Account from which you’re making a payment. 3.9 B PAY payments can be made from most Accounts held with us. A list of eligible Accounts appears in the B PAY section in the Help centre. Some billers will not accept B PAY payments from certain account types. 3.10 When you use a credit card to make a B PAY payment, we treat that payment as a credit card purc hase transaction. 3.11 We may reject a payment direction if the Biller who is to receive the Payment has terminated their B PAY arrangements with their financial institution and has not entered into new B PAY arrangements with another financial institution. B PAY payment cut-off times. 3.12 Billers participating in the B PAY Scheme will treat B PAY payments you make as received according to the table below: If the B PAY payment is made: If the Payment will be treated as received: Before 6.00pm Sydney time on a Banking Day On the date that you make the B PAY payment After 6.00pm Sydney time on a Banking Day On the next Banking Day On a non-Banking Day (including for Scheduled payments) On the next Banking Day 3.13 A delay might occur in the processing of a B PAY payment where: • you tell us to make the payment after the cut off times referred to above and the following day is a non -Banki ng Day, • you tell us to make a payment on a day which is a non-Banking day or after the cut-off times referred to above on a Banking day;
43 • we do, or another financial institution participating in B PAY Payments does not comply with any applicable obligations relating to B PAY Payments; • a Biller fails to comply with any applicable obligations relating to B PAY Payments 3.14 If we’re advised that a B PAY payment can’t be processed by a biller, we’ll send an alert in Online Banking to advise you of this, credit the account with the amount of the B PAY payment, and if you ask us to do so, take all reasonable steps to assist you in making the B PAY payment as quickly as possible. 3.15 While it is expected that any delay in processing under this agreement will not continue for more than one Banking Business Day, any such delay may continue for a longer period. If we are aware that a delay may continue for a longer period, we may advise you. Scheduled B PAY payments. 3.16 You can arrange a B PAY payment to be made up to 24 months in advance as either a one-off payment or a Recurring payment. If the date you select is a non-Banking Day, your B PAY payment may be delayed as described above. Cleared funds must be available in the Account the day before the Payment is made. If there aren’t sufficient cleared funds in the Account on the day before the selected date, we may: • decline to make the payment; or • use our discretion to honour the payment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Account. We may charge a fee to the Account and/ or debit interest charges to any overdrawn amount. For details refer to the terms and conditions for the Account from which you have selected as the source of the payment. 3.17 A Scheduled payment may not be able to be made for a number of reasons including if the biller no longer participates in the B PAY Scheme. If we aren’t able to make a B PAY payment at the nominated future payment date we’ll advise you by email. B PAY biller daily limits. 3.18 To increase the security of your B PAY service, a daily limit of $10,000 will be applied to a certain group of billers (in particular, this relates to payments made to credit card accounts). Note this limit is different to your Daily Payment Limit and Business Daily Limit, and if the daily limit for your B PAY service is exceeded, further B PAY payments will be rejected, irrespective of whether sufficient funds are available in your Daily Payment Limit and Business Daily Limit (as applicable). 3.19 A daily limit won’t be implemented for billers related to payments of your utilities; e.g. electricity or phone bills . 3.20 Please be aware that a B PAY biller may also set limits on the amount of a B PAY payment they’ll accept. Stopping or altering payments. 3.21 If you believe that you have made a mistake in a B PAY payment, you must contact us as soon as possible so that we can locate the transaction and take action. 3.22 You must be careful to ensure that you tell us the correct amount you wish to pay. If you make a B PAY payment and later discover that: • the amount you specified is greater than the required amount – then you must contact the biller to obtain a refund of the excess; • the amount you specified is less than the required amount – then you can make another B PAY payment to make up the difference; or
44 3.23 You may stop or alter a Scheduled payment by asking us to before midnight on the Business Day immediately prior to the day the payment is to be made. 3.24 We can’t accept a request to stop or alter a B PAY payment that is not a Scheduled payment after you have instructed us to make it. 4. Liability for B PAY payments. 4.1 We attempt to rectify any mistaken or unauthorised B PAY payments in the way described in this section. If the ePayments Code applies to an unauthorised B PAY transaction, liability for that transaction will be determined in accordance with the provisions of that Code. 4.2 If under this clause 4 you are liable for an unauthorised or fraudulent payment or as a result of a B PAY View Error and the ePayments Code applies, then your liability is limited to the lesser of: (i) the amount of the unauthorised or fraudulent payment; (ii) the limit (if any) of your liability set out in our terms and conditions for the applicable product or service; and (iii) the limit (if any) of your liability imposed under the ePayments Code as the case may be. If (ii) or (iii) applies, we will be liable to you for the difference between the amount for which you are liable and the amount of the unauthorised or fraudulent payment. 4.3 Other than as set out in this Section E – B PAY (and subject to the ePayments Code) we’ll not be liable for any loss or damage you suffer as a result of using the B PAY Scheme. 4.4 No refunds will be provided through the B PAY Scheme where you have a dispute with the biller about any goods or services you may have agreed to acquire from the biller. Any dispute must be resolved with the biller. Even where your B PAY payment has been made using a credit card, no chargeback rights will be available under B PAY Scheme rules. Mistaken payments, unauthorised payments and fraud. 4.5 We will attempt to make sure that your payments, including payments which are the subject of Batch Payer Directions, are processed promptly by the participants in B PAY Payments, including those Billers to whom your Payments are to be made. 4.6 Please tell us promptly if you: • become aware of any delays or mistakes in processing your Payments; • did not authorise a Payment that has been made from your account (for clarity, this does not include where the payment was initiated by you or anybody with your knowledge or consent); or • think that you have been fraudulently induced to make a Payment. 4.7 We will attempt to rectify any such matters in relation to your Payments in the way described in this clause. Except as otherwise set out in this clause 4, we will not be liable for any loss or damage you suffer as a result of using B PAY Payments. 4.8 You must provide us such assistance as may be reasonably necessary to conduct investigations in respect of any mistaken, unauthorised or fraudulent payments. 4.9 The longer the delay between when you tell us of the error and the date of your Payment, the more difficult it may be to perform the error correction. For example, we or your Biller may not have sufficient records or information available to us to investigate the error. If this is the case, you may need to demonstrate that an error has occurred, based on your own records, or liaise directly with the Biller to correct the error.
45 Mistaken B PAY payments. 4.10 If a B PAY payment, including a payment which is the subject of a Batch Payer Direction, is made to a person or for an amount which is not in accordance with your instructions (if any), and your account was debited for the amount of that B PAY payment, we will credit that amount to your account. 4.11 However, if you were responsible for a mistake resulting in that B PAY payment (e.g. due to entering the wrong details as part of a payment direction or Batch Payer Direction) and we cannot recover the amount of that B PAY payment from the person who received it within 20 Banking Business Days of us attempting to do so, you must pay us that amount. Unauthorised B PAY payments. 4.12 If a B PAY payment is made in accordance with a payment direction, including a B PAY payment made in accordance with a Batch Payer Direction, which appeared to us to be from you or made on your behalf but for which you did not give authority, we will credit your account with the amount of that unauthorised payment. This does not include a B PAY payment where the payment direction or Batch Payer Direction (as applicable) was made by you or by anybody with your knowledge or consent. Further, in all cases, you must pay us the amount of an unauthorised payment if the payment was made as a result of you not complying with our prescribed security procedures. 4.13 If we are able to recover part of the amount of that B PAY payment from the person who received it, you must only pay us the amount of that B PAY payment that we are not able to recover. 4.14 If you tell us that a B PAY payment made from your Account is unauthorised, you must give us your written consent addressed to the biller who received that B PAY payment, consenting to us obtaining from the biller information about your account with that biller or the B PAY payment, including your Customer Reference Number and such information as we reasonably require to investigate the B PAY payment. We are not obliged to investigate or rectify any B PAY payment if you do not give us this consent. If you do not give us that consent, the biller may not be permitted under law to disclose to us information we need to investigate or rectify that B PAY payment. Fraud. 4.15 If a B PAY payment is made as a result of you being fraudulently induced into making that B PAY payment, including a B PAY payment which is the subject of a Batch Payer Direction, and any other person involved in the B PAY Scheme committed, had actual knowledge of, or with reasonable diligence should have detected, the fraud, then that person should refund you the amount of the fraud-induced payment. However, if that person does not refund you the whole amount of the fraud-induced payment, you must bear the loss. If there is more than one reason for the payment. 4.16 If an unauthorised B PAY Payment mentioned in clause 4.12 is also affected by a mistake mentioned in clause 4.10 or fraud as described in clause 4.15, we will resolve it under the unauthorised B PAY payments regime in clauses 4.12 to 4.14. If a B PAY payment that is not an unauthorised B PAY payment is affected by both a mistake mentioned in clause 4.12 and fraud as described in clause 4.15, we will resolve it under the rules for fraud induced payments under clause 4.15. Consequential loss. 4.17 We’re not liable for any consequential loss or damage you suffer as a result of using the B PAY Scheme, other than due to any loss or damage you suffer due to our negligence or in relation to any breach of a condition or warranty implied by law in contracts for the supply of goods and services and which may not be excluded, restricted or modified at all or only to a limited extent.
46 4.18 You indemnify us against any reasonable loss or damage we may suffer due to any claim, demand or action of any kind brought against us arising directly or indirectly because a user did not observe any of their obligations under these terms and conditions or acted negligently or fraudulently in connection with the use of the B PAY Scheme. 4.19 This clause doesn’t apply to the extent that it’s inconsistent with or contrary to any applicable law or other code of practice to which we’ve subscribed. If those laws or that code would make this clause illegal, void or unenforceable or impose an obligation or liability prohibited by those laws or that code, this clause is to be read as if it were varied to the extent necessary to comply with those laws or that code or, if necessary, omitted. 5. Batch Payer Directions. 5.1 The Batch Payer Terms are the terms and conditions that apply to Batch Payer Directions. 5.2 If you submit Batch Payer Directions, the terms in this section will apply to you in respect of those Batch Payer Directions. If you submit a Payer Direction, which is not a Batch Payer Direction, the terms in clauses 3.4–3.6 and 3.8–3.11 will apply to that Payer Direction. Eligibility to submit Batch Payer Directions. 5.3 (a) You may make your Payments with us using Batch Payer Directions if we determine that you are eligible to do so. We may request information and documents from you in order to assess your eligibility, or to confirm that you remain eligible, to use Batch Payer Directions.

(c) For clarity, on an exceptions basis Batch Payer Directions may be for single payment where the payer is otherwise entitled to use Batch Payer Directions in accordance with this clause. (d) If at any time we are required to do so under the B PAY Scheme documents, we may take one or more of the following actions: (i) cease accepting Batch Payer Directions from you; (ii) impose procedural requirements on the way in which we will accept Batch Payer Directions from you; and (iii) impose value or volume limits on Batch Payer Directions from you. Your obligations. 5.4 (a) If you use Batch Payer Directions, you must: (i) promptly notify us if you become aware, or reasonably suspect that a Batch Payer Direction has been erroneously submitted or processed; (ii) comply with all our reasonable directions in connection with your submission of Batch Payer Directions (including any directions to stop submitting Batch Payer Directions, or that impose value or volume limits on Batch Payer Directions); and
47 (iii) notify us in writing of any non-compliance by you with a provision of these Batch Payer Terms as soon as practicable after you become aware of the non-compliance, including any n on-compli ance with the minimum eligibility requirements set out in clause 5.3(b). Submitting Batch Payer Directions on behalf of End Clients. 5.5 (a) If you make Batch Payer Directions on behalf of End Clients, you must: (i) maintain a contemporaneous list of those End Clients, and provide that list to us upon request; (ii) maintain systems and processes which allow payments and adjustments (including credits and reversals) in relation to those End Clients to be separately identified and differentiated; (iii) ensure that those End Clients make Payments only for their own benefit and not on behalf of a third party; (iv) promptly notify us if you become aware, or reasonably suspect, any fraudulent or illegal activity involving Payments made by those End Clients; and (v) ensure that each Batch Payer Direction given on behalf of an End Client is validly authorised by that End Client. (b) If you make it known to your End Clients that Payments made on behalf of those End Clients will be made using B PAY Payments, in addition to the matters set out in 5.5(a), you must: (i) enter into an agreement with those End Clients for the making of Payments, which is consistent with these Batch Payer Terms; (ii) disclose to, and obtain acknowledgement from, those End Clients that: − your relationship with your End Clients is separate to, and is not governed by, the B PAY Scheme and therefore the benefits received by Payers under the B PAY Scheme Documents (as it applies to B PAY Payments) may not be applicable to End Clients who make payments through you; and − the receipt by a Biller of a mistaken or erroneous payment from another person does not constitute part or whole satisfaction of any underlying debt owed between the End Client and that Biller; (iii) having regard to your own processing times needed to prepare and submit the associated Batch Payer Directions and the principles set out in clause 5.6: − notify End Clients when Payments which are the subject of payment directions given by the End Clients to you will be treated as having been made; and − ensure that payment directions validly given by your End Clients prior to the time referred to the above paragraph are incorporated into Batch Payer Directions which are submitted to us on the same Banking Business Day; and (iv) without undue delay, pass on to the relevant End Client the benefit of any adjustments (including credits or reversals) which you receive in connection with a Payment made on behalf of that End Client.

59 Approval work flow process. 3.2 A payment may be fully approved up to 90 calendar days after it has been submitted, regardless of the scheduled payment date. After 90 days following submission the unapproved payment will expire and will need to be created again in order to be processed. International, Same day (RTGS) and Recurring payment arrangements will expire on the scheduled payment date. 3.3 Once the payment is fully approved it will be processed in accordance with the cut-off time applicable for that payment method. 3.4 Any Business Servicing Request requiring an approval must be approved by all Approvers (the number of approvers will depend on the account authority or Business Servicing Request approval requirements as set by the Administrator, whichever is the greater number) within 5 calendar days after the request is submitted. If the request is not fully approved in that time, it will expire and a new request will need to be created. Once the request is fully approved, it will be processed within the time specified in Online Banking for the particular Business Servicing Request. The Submitter and the Approver(s) will be notified when the request has been processed. 3.5 A Scheduled payment will count towards the Daily Payment Limit and Business Daily Limit on the payment date initially scheduled when submitted for approval. 3.6 In a Personal Network for all payments other than those created via a Direct Entry facility, the account method of operation (e.g. 2 to sign) determines the number of Users with make payments access that must approve the transaction in work flow. For payments created via a Direct Entry facility, only one User will be required to approve the transaction. 3.7 Subject to section 3.10, in a Business Network, for all payments other than those created via a Direct Entry facility, the account method of operation (e.g. 2 to sign) determines the minimum number of Users that must approve a transaction. For payments created via a Direct Entry facility, only one User will be required to approve the transaction unless the Administrator has nominated otherwise. An Administrator may nominate a higher number of approvals for any payment method or task, including payments created via a Direct Entry facility. 3.8 The number of approvers required to approve a Business Servicing Request will be determined by the account’s method of operation (e.g. 2 to sign) or by the number of approvers defined by the Administrator, whichever is greater. (This excludes Administrator only Business Servicing Requests) 3.9 A Submitter who is also an approver can self approve Business Servicing Requests without the need for other approvers to approve the request, if the required number of approvers is only 1 individual. 3.10 A Senior Approver is a User with Approver access that can self approve payments and tasks that usually require more than one User with Approver access to authorise in Online Banking. A Senior Approver can also fully approve Business Servicing Request on behalf of the Business Network Owner despite any other approval requirements as set by an Administrator and regardless of the number set under any account authority. Clause 5 below describes how a Senior Approver can be established on a Network. Third-party access. 3.11 Users in a Network can be provided access to an Account under a Joint Account On-share Authority. Pri or to 6 December 2024, Users in a Network could be provided access to an Account under a Third Party Access Authority if On-share Access was permitted. Commencing from 1 December 2025, all existing On-share Access permissions associated with Third Party Access Authority granted to an individual will be removed. As a result, any Users who were granted access to the Account by third parties within their Personal Network will no longer be able to view or transact on the Account through their own Online Banking access. 3.12 The Account holder can nominate non-value access, which allows the Administrators to assign view Accounts access to Users in the Network, or value access, which allows the Administrators to assign view Accounts, create Business Servicing Requests, make payments or create payments or Approver access to the User.
60 Note: • for Business Networks non-value access will also allow a User to create payments (but not authorise and manage PayTo Payment Agreements). • for Personal Networks, where the Savings Goals feature is available on an Account, value access will also allow a User to use the Savings Goals feature, including to view, add, edit, share and remove savings goals on the Account . • For a Submitter to create a Business Servicing Request, they will need to have permission for Business Servicing feature assigned by the Administrator and value access to the Account. • For Business Servicing to be approved by an Approver, the Approver will be required to have permission for Business Servicing feature assigned by the Administrator and value access to the Account. • The Account holder in authorising for the Account to be added to the Network acknowledges the Account may be nominated as the billing account for the Network and any transactions authorised by the Network Administrators and Users are treated as being authorised by the Account holder. 4. Additional terms and conditions for Personal Networks. 4.1 You or any Administrator of your Personal Network can authorise Users to access any of the Account(s) in your Online Banking now and in the future by registering an individual through User administration in Online Banking, except where the User is an Authorised representative. 4.2 You and any Users with make payments access will share the Daily Payment Limit set for your Online Banking. If you increase your Daily Payment Limit, Users will also be able to access the increased limit provided they are registered for a Security device. 4.3 Savings and Transaction accounts cannot be closed through Online Banking via a Personal Network. 5. Additional terms and conditions for Business Networks. Business Daily Limit. 5.1 The Business Daily Limit is the maximum monetary amount that can be approved to be processed from the Accounts in a Business Network per day. Once the Business Daily Limit is reached, no further transactions can be approved, irrespective if any User has an amount remaining in their individual Daily Payment Limit. 5.2 The default Business Daily Limit of $10,000,000 applies to Business Networks, which may be changed by an Administrator up to a maximum amount. The maximum Business Daily Limit for Business Networks is subject to change and appears in the ‘What’s a Daily Payment Limit?’ section in the Help centre. 5.3 We will notify you in accordance with Part 4 if there are any changes to the default Business Daily Limit. Senior Approver. 5.4 You, as the owner of the Online Banking for business may authorise a User to self approve task, Business Servicing Requests and payments on all Accounts they have access to in the Network by completing a Senior Approver nomination form and returning it to us. A User will be granted Senior Approver access until the authorisation is revoked by the organisation. Where a joint account changes to a method of operation of “All to Sign”, Senior Approver access to the account will be restricted to non-value access. Business Servicing Requests. 5.5 Business Servicing Requests are only in relation to Business Networks and limited to the following: User Business Servicing Requests (available to Users with permission for the Business Servicing Request feature and value access): • Cancel Business Debit Card • Cancel direct debit

4 When a PartPay Card is used to make Purchases, these Terms and Conditions will apply. They should be read together with the Westpac Credit Cards Terms and Conditions that also apply to PartPay Cards and your Card Account (the Card Conditions ) and the other documents that form part of your contract with us. If there is any inconsistency between these PartPay Terms and your Card Conditions, these PartPay Terms will apply.
- What is a PartPay Card? A PartPay Card is a digital only Card that can be issued to an existing eligible Card Account. Once issued, it can then be added to a digital wallet and used to make eligible Purchases which you may repay in four PartPay Payments. See Clause 5 and 6 below for further details.
- How can I get a PartPay Card? Before you can request a PartPay Card, you will need: • an active and eligible Card Account. Please see our website for details on which card accounts are eligible for a PartPay Card; • access to Online Banking and have installed the Mobile Banking App on a mobile device; • have registered for Westpac Protect™ SMS Code; and • have provided us with a valid email address, mobile number and mailing address. Once set up you can submit your request to us via your Mobile Banking App. There may be times when we will not accept your request. For example, if your Card Account is overdue, you have exceeded your credit limit or we have blocked your account (see Clause 9.2 of the Card Conditions for more details on when we can block your Card Account). If we accept your request we will let you know via the Mobile Banking App. We will also send you a welcome email to your nominated email address. This may take up to 2 business days after your request is submitted to us. We will also make your PartPay Card available in your Mobile Banking App. You cannot use the card until you have set up an Autopay arrangement with us. See Clause 3.1 below for more details about setting up Autopay. No physical cards will be sent to you.
5 3. Using your PartPay Card 3.1 Setting up Autopay. In order for you to transact on your PartPay Card, you must set up and maintain an active automatic payment from an eligible Australian bank account that you hold. You do this by providing us with a direct debit request. Within Westpac, this is called Autopay. Any Autopay arrangement set up for your PartPay Card will be separate to any Autopay arrangement that you set up to make other payments (e.g. to pay the Minimum Payment Due) on your Card Account. By setting up Autopay you are requesting us to automatically pay each PartPay Payment on its PartPay Payment Date by debiting the PartPay Payment amount from your nominated account on that date. This means that any other balances on your Card Account that attract a higher Annual Percentage Rate may be repaid later and may, as a result, attract greater interest charges. You may cancel your Autopay arrangement at any time but if you do then we may suspend or cancel your PartPay Card. See Clause 8.2 for more information on what happens if we suspend or cancel your card. If you want to change your existing Autopay arrangement (for example change your nominated account) you can do so via your Mobile Banking App (or via any other method that we allow). If you need to set up a new Autopay arrangement, you should contact us using the contact details at the start of the Card Conditions. In certain circumstances, including where we suspect fraud or need to take action to prevent losses, you will not be able to set up a new Autopay without our authorisation. Further details about setting up Autopay can be found in the Autopay terms and conditions. Your Autopay terms and conditions can be found here westpac.com.au/partpay-direct-debit Important - You need to ensure that your bank account details for Autopay are valid and the account remains active. If not, then we may suspend the use of your PartPay Card until you nominate a new account.
6 3.2 What you can use your card for. Once your PartPay Card is available in your Mobile Banking App, it can be used to make eligible Purchases. You may also add the card to your digital wallet. An ‘eligible Purchase’ is any Purchase on your PartPay Card that is equal to or greater than the Minimum Purchase Amount. If you make a Purchase with your PartPay Card that is less than the Minimum Purchase Amount then we may in our absolute discretion, acting reasonably, decline the transaction. If we do process the transaction then the Purchase will be treated the same as any other ‘eligible Purchase’ (and all references in these PartPay Terms to ‘eligible Purchase’ are to be read as including the transaction). An example of when we may process a Purchase that is less than the Minimum Purchase Amount is in cases where our systems are offline at the time of the transaction. There may be cases where you make a Purchase on your PartPay Card or you set up your PartPay Card as a payment method with a merchant and the merchant then sends through a pre-authorisation amount, which is a temporary hold on funds. If the pre-authorisation amount sent by the merchant is less than the Minimum Purchase Amount, we may in our discretion, acting reasonably, decline the transaction. This may mean that you are unable to finalise a Purchase with that merchant on your PartPay Card as the pre-authorisation amount was declined. There is no limit on the number of eligible Purchases that can be made on a PartPay Card but all PartPay Cards, issued on the same Card Account, will be subject to the credit limit of that account. When a PartPay Card is added to your Card Account, you must continue to keep your total balance within your credit limit as detailed in Clause 3.6 of the Card Conditions. For more details on using your card, including where you can use your card and details on recurring payments, see Clause 3 of your Card Conditions. 3.3 Additional Cardholders. If an Additional Cardholder has been added to your Card Account (meaning you have asked for an Additional Card to be issued to another person in accordance with Clause 2.3 of the Card Conditions), then we will also make a PartPay Card available to that Additional Cardholder via their Mobile Banking App. To use their PartPay Card
7 the Additional Cardholder will need to install the Mobile Banking App on a mobile device. 4. Interest charges We will not charge interest on a PartPay Payment if the amount is paid by you on or before its PartPay Payment Date. If you don’t pay a PartPay Payment in full by its PartPay Payment Date (for example, because we are unable to debit your nominated account for the PartPay Payment amount), the unpaid amount will be deducted from your PartPay Balance and included in your Purchase Balance. This amount is referred to as a Missed PartPay Payment. This means that a Missed PartPay Payment will accrue interest at the Annual Percentage Rate that applies to your Purchase Balance from the date that we include the Missed PartPay Payment in your Purchase Balance. Whether interest is then payable by you on the Missed PartPay Payment will depend on whether your Purchase Balance benefits from interest free periods at that time. If it does, then it will also depend on whether you meet the interest free period conditions in Clause 5.2 of the Card Conditions at the time we include the Missed PartPay Payment in your Purchase Balance. For more details on how we calculate and charge interest see Clause 5.3 of the Card Conditions. 5. How does a PartPay Card affect what you need to pay each month? 5.1 Paying PartPay Payments. If an eligible Purchase is made on a PartPay Card, the payment (which will include any Foreign Transaction Fees, if applicable) will be split into four repayment amounts (called PartPay Payments ). If the payment cannot be split into four equal repayment amounts, then your last PartPay Payment will be adjusted accordingly. The example below shows how. The details of PartPay Payments will be shown in your Mobile Banking App. You can pay a PartPay Payment at any time before its PartPay Payment Date. For details on how to do this see Clause 6 below. If you have not paid a PartPay Payment by its PartPay Payment Date then we will debit your nominated account for the amount on that date using Autopay.
8 The PartPay Payment Date for the first PartPay Payment will be on or about the date we process the related Purchase to your Card Account. The PartPay Payment Dates for the remaining PartPay Payments will be on or about the date falling fourteen days after the immediately preceding PartPay Payment Date (so every two weeks). Weekends and national public holidays may affect your PartPay Payment Dates. For details on all PartPay Payment Dates and PartPay Payment amounts for each eligible Purchase please see the applicable PartPay Payment Schedule in your Mobile Banking App. PartPay Payment example You make an eligible Purchase on your PartPay Card of $100.05 Your first three PartPay Payments will be $25.01 each and your final PartPay Payment will be $25.02. Important – Purchases made on any other Card issued on your Card Account are not eligible for split repayment. This means that if you were to accidentally make a Purchase on a Card (other than a PartPay Card) and you intended for that Purchase to be made on your PartPay Card, you cannot later ask us to transfer that Purchase to your PartPay Balance and/or request that the Purchase be repaid in four repayment amounts. When using a card in a digital wallet we suggest that you check the card first before you make a purchase. 5.2 Other amounts you may need to pay. Adding a PartPay Card to your Card Account will not change your: • Monthly Payment Balance – which is the amount you must pay each month to retain interest free periods; • Minimum Payment Due – which is the amount you must pay each month to meet your minimum payment requirements; or • Monthly Payment – which, if applicable, is the amount you must pay each month if you want to keep your SmartPlans active. See your Card Conditions for further details on each of these payments, including how they are calculated and when they must be paid.
9 6. Making payments and how we apply your payments You can make additional PartPay Balance payments in two ways. • You can repay a specific PartPay Payment (in full only) via your Mobile Banking App. If you do then your payment will be applied to repay the specific PartPay Payment only. Unless we agree otherwise, this payment can only be made from another eligible Westpac account. • You may use B PAY ® (or any other payment method that we allow) to make a general PartPay Balance payment. If you do then your payment will be applied to repay your PartPay Payments or part thereof in chronological order based on their PartPay Payment Dates (with the earliest date being repaid first and so on). If you have multiple PartPay Payments with the same PartPay Payment Date then we will apply your payment in the order of lowest PartPay Payment amount to highest PartPay Payment amount. When you make a PartPay Balance payment you are requesting us to apply that payment towards repayment of your PartPay Balance in the ways described above. This means that any other balances on your Card Account that attract a higher Annual Percentage Rate may be repaid later and may, as a result, attract greater interest charges. All PartPay Balance payments must be in Australian Dollars. All other payments to your Card Account will be treated as a ‘general’ Card Account payment and will be applied in accordance with Clause 6.3 of the Card Conditions or, if you have a SmartPlan, in accordance with Clause 7.6 of your Card Conditions. ® Registered to B PAY Pty Ltd ABN 69 079 137 518
10 7. Excess credit Unless we agree otherwise, your PartPay Card cannot have a credit balance. If you use B PAY ® (or any other payment method that we allow) to transfer an amount to your PartPay Card and the amount exceeds your PartPay Balance then the excess credit amount will be applied in accordance with Clause 6.3 of the Card Conditions or, if you have a SmartPlan, in accordance with Clause 7.6 of your Card Conditions. 8. Cancelling your PartPay Card 8.1 When can you cancel your PartPay Card? You may cancel a PartPay Card at any time via the Mobile Banking App or by phone. When we receive a cancellation request we will cancel your PartPay Card immediately. 8.2 When can we suspend or cancel a PartPay Card? In addition to our rights under Clause 9.2 of the Card Conditions we may cancel a PartPay Card if: (a) you change card products and a PartPay Card is not available on your new product. (b) you deregister your access to Online Banking. (c) you cancel your Autopay arrangement and do not subsequently set-up a new Autopay arrangement. (d) you opt-out of receiving any electronic communications from us in connection with your PartPay Card. We may also suspend the use of a PartPay Card if you cancel your Autopay arrangement or if your nominated account is no longer active or is otherwise invalid.
11 8.3 When will an Additional Cardholder’s PartPay Card be cancelled? If you or an Additional Cardholder cancel an Additional Card then the linked PartPay Card will automatically be cancelled. In addition, if your PartPay Card is cancelled by either you or us then all PartPay Cards issued to Additional Cardholders on the same Card Account will automatically be cancelled. 8.4 What you must do when a PartPay Card is cancelled. When a PartPay Card has been cancelled for any reason, all recurring payments which are linked to the PartPay Card must be cancelled. You will remain liable for any recurring payments which have not been cancelled. If you have not cancelled a recurring payment, it will be processed as an eligible Purchase on your Card Account and will be split into four PartPay Payments. See Clause 5.1 above for more details. However, if we cancel your card under Clause 8.2(a), any recurring payments that have not been cancelled will be treated as a new Purchase on your new Card Account. You will also remain liable for all eligible Purchases made before the PartPay Card is cancelled. If you cancel your PartPay Card or we cancel your card under Clause 9.2 of the Card Conditions or under Clause 8.2(b), (c) or (d) above you must continue to repay any outstanding PartPay Payments in accordance with your PartPay Payment Schedule and Clause 5.1. You may also pay your PartPay Balance off in full when your card is cancelled. See Clause 6 for details on how to do this. If we cancel your card under Clause 8.2(a) above all outstanding PartPay Payments will be cancelled, and your outstanding PartPay Balance will be treated as a new Purchase on your new Card Account. 9. Changes to these PartPay Terms We can change these PartPay Terms in the same way as we can change the Card Conditions as set out under the heading ‘Variation’ of the Card Conditions.
12 10. Meaning of important terms Capitalised words used in these PartPay Terms have the same meaning as in the Card Conditions, and: eligible Purchase – has the meaning given to it in Clause 3.2. Minimum Purchase Amount – the minimum amount that any Purchase must be equal to or greater than in order for the Purchase to be split into four fortnightly payments as set out in these PartPay Terms, using a PartPay Card. See westpac.com.au/partpay for the current Minimum Purchase Amount that applies to your PartPay Card. PartPay Balance payment – the repayment of any PartPay Payment in accordance with these PartPay Terms. PartPay Payment – has the meaning given to that term in Clause 5.1. PartPay Payment Date – has the meaning given to that term in Clause 5.1. PartPay Payment Schedule – the schedule of PartPay Payments and PartPay Payment Dates for each eligible Purchase provided by us to you via your Mobile Banking App (or if unavailable via any other electronic delivery method available to us such as email or messages in Online Banking). Purchase – all payments you make using your Card that are not Cash Advances or Balance Transfers.

4 Important Information These Terms and Conditions, together with your Financial Table, set out the terms of your Credit Card Contract. It is important that you read all of the terms of your Credit Card Contract. However, set out below are some of the key terms that you should be aware of before agreeing to enter into the Credit Card Contract: • As set out in our Privacy Policy and Privacy Statement, we may collect information about you and about your use of the Card Account, and disclose such information to third parties (this may include suppliers and service providers, credit reporting bodies and government agencies). This means that third parties may hold and use personal information about you. • You must use your Card Account primarily for personal and household expenses. This means that we may cancel your Card if we believe that you are using your Card Account mainly for business purposes. See Clause 3.1 for further details. • We may decline to authorise a transaction without prior warning to you for various reasons, including if your Card Account is in arrears, the transaction would cause you to exceed your credit limit or we believe the transaction may involve fraud or illegality. See Clause 3.5. • You must promptly tell us if your contact details change. If you don’t provide up to date contact information, this may impact your rights under the Credit Card Contract. See Clause 4.2. • In certain circumstances, you may be liable for unauthorised use of any Card issued on your Card Account. See Clauses 2.1 and 8.1 for circumstances where you may be liable. • We may cancel your Card or block your Card Account in certain circumstances without giving notice. Examples of where this may occur are if we suspect fraud or need to take action to prevent losses or you are in default under your Credit Card Contract. See Clause 9.2 for further details of when we can do this. • If you are in default (which is described in Clause 9.3), we may require you to immediately repay the entire balance of your Card Account and you may be liable for reasonable enforcement expenses if we take enforcement proceedings to recover amounts owing to us. See Clause 9.3.
5 • If your Card Account is closed or your Card is cancelled, you must destroy any physical Card you have received. You will be liable for recurring payments and transactions debited to your account prior to the Card Account being closed. Even if your Card is cancelled or the Card Account is blocked, you still need to comply with your obligations under the Credit Card Contract, including any payment obligations. See Clause 9.4 for further details. • We may use your funds held in one account to repay amounts owing to us on another account. See Clause 10.1. • We may vary your Credit Card Contract without your consent and, in some cases, without prior notice. See Clause 10.3 for details of the changes we can make and how we can make them.
6 Terms and Conditions 1.0 About your contract with us. 1.1 Introduction. These Terms and Conditions govern all Westpac-brand consumer Credit Cards issued by Westpac. 1.2 The Credit Card Contract. The Credit Card Contract is made up of these Terms and Conditions along with the Financial Table attached to the letter of offer that we sent you (both contain some of your pre-contractual information). Please read these documents together and keep them. 1.3 When the contract is formed. The Credit Card Contract between you and us is formed and these Terms and Conditions take effect when you activate the Card Account, accept the Credit Card Contract using any other method we make available, or when the first transaction is made on the Card Account. We may issue you a PartPay Card at your request. This is at our discretion and the PartPay Card may not be available at certain times or for certain credit card products. If we agree to issue you a PartPay Card, the PartPay Terms will be incorporated into your Credit Card Contract between you and us and take effect after you accept the terms in your Mobile Banking App (or accept the terms using any other method we make available) and we have made your PartPay Card available to you in your Mobile Banking App. 1.4 Codes of practice. The relevant provisions of the Banking Code of Practice apply to the services referred to in this document. We will comply with the Banking Code of Practice and the ePayments Code where they apply to the Card Account. • You can view a copy of the Banking Code of Practice on our website or ask us for a hard copy at one of our branches or over the phone. • You can also view a copy of the Banking Code of Practice on the Australian Banking Association’s website: www.ausbanking.org.au • The ePayments Code can be found on ASIC’s website: www.asic.gov.au
7 2.0 Your Card and PIN. 2.1 Protecting your Card and PIN. When a Card (other than a PartPay Card) is issued we will also provide you with a personal identification number (‘PIN’) or instructions on how to generate a PIN. When a PartPay Card is issued, the PIN for the card will be the same as the PIN on your linked Card. If we issue a PartPay Card to an Additional Cardholder then the PIN on their card will be the same as the PIN on their linked Additional Card. If you or an Additional Cardholder later change your linked Card PIN then the PIN for your PartPay Card will not automatically change. If you or an Additional Cardholder would like the same PIN for both Cards then you or the Additional Cardholder will need to separately change the PIN on the PartPay Card. Your PIN is used to securely identify yourself and approve transactions. You must sign your Card (other than a PartPay Card) as soon as you receive it and keep it with you or in a safe place at all times. You do not need to sign a PartPay Card as it is a digital card. Do not select a PIN that represents your birthdate or could be easily guessed. Do not tell anyone your PIN (including family and friends) and do not write it on your Card (or anything you keep or carry with your Card). You should try to memorise your PIN. However, if you need to keep a record of it you must take reasonable steps to properly hide or disguise it (such as hiding it among other records or putting it in a place where a PIN would not be expected to be found) or protect it from unauthorised access (such as keeping it in a secured locked place). It is important that you take proper steps to protect your Card and PIN. If you do not, you may be liable if someone uses your Card without your permission (see Clause 8 for more detail). 2.2 Card validity and ownership. All Cards are the property of Westpac. We may (but do not have to) issue a new Card to you at any time. Your Card must not be used after its expiry date. 2.3 Additional Cards. You can ask for a Card (other than a PartPay Card) to be issued to another person aged 16 years or over. That card is referred to as an Additional Card and that person is referred to as the Additional Cardholder. Where these Terms and Conditions refer to obligations relating to ‘your Card’, those obligations will also apply to the Additional Card (for example PIN security). You must require each Additional Cardholder to confirm that they have read
8 the Terms and Conditions because you remain responsible for all aspects of the Card Account including: • any usage by the Additional Cardholder; and • any breach of your Credit Card Contract caused by the Additional Cardholder. By nominating an Additional Cardholder, You authorise the Additional Cardholder to act on your behalf to request a replacement card where the Additional Cardholder’s existing card is lost, damaged or stolen, except where the card has been cancelled by You. An Additional Cardholder will have access to the Card Account but will not be able to change the credit limit, close the account, or ask for a replacement Card after it has been cancelled by you. Additional Cards are not available on Westpac Student Visa Accounts. You do not need to ask for a PartPay Card to be issued to an Additional Cardholder. For details on how an Additional Cardholder can use a PartPay Card see Clause 3.3 of the PartPay Terms. 3.0 Using your Card. 3.1 What you can use your Card for. You can use your Card (other than a PartPay Card) to make a Purchase or a Cash Advance or carry out a Balance Transfer from another Credit Card. Where your Card has been linked to a Westpac deposit account, you can use the Card to make purchases or withdraw cash from the linked account at eftpos terminals and ATMs by selecting the cheque or savings account options. You can only use a PartPay Card to make eligible Purchases. See the PartPay Terms for more details. All Cards must be used mainly for personal or household expenses. If we believe your Card is being used mainly for business related expenses, we may transfer you to another product or cancel your Card. Your Card must not be used for any illegal purpose or in a way that would breach international sanctions. Cash Advances are not permitted on the Westpac Lite Card, or on a PartPay Card. However, if you do attempt to make a Cash Advance, there may be circumstances where we are unable to block it. If this happens on a Westpac Lite Card then the transaction will be treated as a Purchase and you must
9 still repay the resulting balance. If this happens on a PartPay Card then the transaction will be treated as a PartPay Purchase and you must repay the amount in accordance with Clause 5.1 of the PartPay Terms. 3.2 Where you can use your Card. You can use your Card in many places in Australia and around the world. Look for the Visa and Mastercard® signs that match those shown on your Card. If your Card is accepted by a Merchant, branch or ATM provider you can use it to: Pay for Purchases • through payment terminals, e.g. at a shop, etc. • online • within a mobile app • by telephone • through mail order Withdraw Cash • at an ATM • at a Bank branch 3.3 Recurring payments. You may authorise a Merchant to charge recurring payments to your Card automatically without requesting your authorisation on each occasion. If a Merchant is using Tokenised Credentials your Card details may be automatically updated (for example, if your Card is reissued or replaced). In those circumstances, reissuing or replacing a card may not stop recurring payments with that merchant. You should update your details with the Merchant whenever your Card details change. If you wish to cancel or change a recurring payment arrangement you should contact the Merchant directly before the next payment is due. Depending on your agreement with the Merchant, if you do not leave enough time, you may still be liable for that payment. If a Merchant does not act on your instruction to cancel a recurring payment you may contact us to dispute the transaction on your behalf. Please see Clause 8.1 for details on how to dispute a transaction.
10 3.4 Foreign transactions. You may be charged Foreign Transaction Fees (as set out in the Financial Table or advised to you from time to time) on all Foreign Transactions. A Foreign Transaction is any transaction made in a foreign currency or processed outside Australia. This includes transactions made while you are in Australia where the Merchant or financial institution processing the transaction is located outside Australia (even if you are not aware of this). Any transaction in a foreign currency will be converted into Australian Dollars by the card scheme (either Visa or Mastercard) that processes the transaction at an exchange rate they set. If this transaction is later reversed or refunded in full or in part, the exchange rate used for the reversal or refund may differ from that used for the original transaction. Some Merchants and ATM operators allow you to convert a foreign currency into Australian Dollars at the time of purchase. If you select this option the exchange rate will be set by the Merchant or ATM operator and you may still be charged a Foreign Transaction Fee. 3.5 Confirming and authorising transactions. There are a number of ways you may be able to confirm a transaction. These include: • signing your name • holding your mobile device (if your Card is enrolled in a digital wallet), or physical Card in front of a contactless payment device • entering your PIN • entering your Card details and any other information required. Before you do so, you must check that the transaction amount is correct and you are sure you wish to proceed with the transaction. After you have confirmed a transaction it may need to be authorised. The amount you can access on the Card Account will then reduce. Sometimes a transaction will not be completed after it is authorised, such as where it is reversed by a Merchant. If this happens, the amount you can access may still be reduced for up to four business days. We reserve the right not to authorise any transaction but we will typically only do this where: • the transaction would cause you to exceed any of the limits that apply to your Card (more detail on limits can be found in Clause 3.6); • we believe the transaction may involve fraud; • the Card Account is in arrears; or • we believe the transaction may be illegal or prohibited by international sanctions.
11 3.6 Limits that apply. Your Card Account has a credit limit and a transaction limit. Credit limit – This is the total amount you can access on your Card Account and is initially listed in your Financial Table. All authorised transactions (including holds placed on your Card Account) reduce the amount you can access even if they have yet to be processed to your Card Account. Some transactions may proceed even though they may take the Card Account balance over the credit limit. If this happens, any amount above your limit is payable immediately and you may incur an over-limit Fee. If you ask us to, we will reduce your credit limit (subject to any minimum credit limit that applies to the Card Account). If you wish to reduce the credit limit to a level below your outstanding balance you must first repay the difference. Transaction limit – This is the daily limit, as initially listed on your Financial Table, that applies to the combined value of the following transactions made with your Card: • ATM cash withdrawals • Bank@Post transactions • Transactions you charge to any linked deposit accounts by selecting the cheque or savings option. Some Merchants and ATM operators may apply their own additional restrictions. 3.7 Gambling blocks. If you wish to limit access to gambling services through the Card Account, please call us or log into your online banking and activate gambling block in the Card Services menu. Once we process your request we will decline all transactions for the Card Account where: • the card scheme (Visa or Mastercard) tells us that the Merchant offers gambling services; and • we receive an authorisation request for the transaction. If you ask us to cancel this service, it may take two business days for your request to take effect. This service will not prevent all gambling transactions. For example, it will not prevent gambling transactions: • that are recurring Card payments you have authorised before making the request • through B PAY ® transactions or cash withdrawals
12 • in any other cases where we do not receive an authorisation request (for example if our systems are offline or the Merchant automatically approves the transaction). 3.8 Processing of transactions. We will determine the order in which we process transactions on any given day, based on our business systems and processes. This means for example that transactions may not be processed in the order they were made. The processing order can affect how transactions are treated, including for the purposes of applying interest charges. Please contact us if you have any queries. 4.0 Statements and other communications. 4.1 Statements. We will issue a statement for the Card Account to you every month unless the account has a balance of $10 or less and there has been no account activity in that month. You can choose to receive statements by mail or electronically. We use statements to provide you with information, including changes to your Card Account, these Terms and Condition (see Clause 10.3 for more information) or the PartPay Terms (if applicable). If you have any questions about an item on your statement please call us. 4.2 Keeping your contact details updated. You must promptly tell us if your contact details change (including your mailing address, email address and telephone number). If you do not do this it may impact your rights under the Credit Card Contract and you may miss out on other important information. For example, we may not be able or required to send you certain notices or statements. 4.3. Checking your statements regularly. Sometimes we get things wrong. Where we do, we will work to make things right. You will not be liable for any fees, charges or interest that we incorrectly charge to your account contrary to our applicable terms and conditions. Please check the entries listed in your account statements regularly, and if you see an error please contact us promptly on 132 032.
13 5.0 Fees and interest. 5.1 Fees and interest rates. You must pay the Fees that we post to your Card Account. Information about current standard Fees and any Annual Percentage Rates is available on request. You can also access this information online at: westpac.com.au/personal-banking/credit-cards 5.2 Interest free period. An interest free period may apply to the Purchase Balance on your card. Please refer to the Financial Table attached to your letter of offer or visit us online at westpac.com.au to see whether an interest free period may apply. If your card comes with an interest free period on the Purchase Balance, you won’t incur interest on the Purchase Balance during the interest free period if you meet the conditions set out below. If your new Card Account has interest free days, you will automatically have an interest free period up to and including the first payment due date on your statement. Whether the interest free period will continue to apply will depend on whether you have paid the relevant amount outlined in the table below.
14 If you do not have a Balance Transfer, a Smart Plan or a PartPay Card If you do have a Balance Transfer, a SmartPlan or a PartPay Card The interest free period will continue to apply as long as you pay the closing balance shown on your statement by the due date each month. The interest free period will continue to apply as long as you pay the Monthly Payment Balance shown on your statement by the due date each month. Your Monthly Payment Balance is calculated so that you do not need to pay off your entire Balance Transfer or SmartPlan Balance to enjoy your interest free period. Your Monthly Payment Balance is calculated so that you do not need to pay off your PartPay Balance at all to enjoy your interest free period. If you set up a SmartPlan after we have sent you a statement, the amount you need to pay that month to maintain your interest free period will be the Monthly Payment Balance shown on your statement minus the amount you transfer onto the new SmartPlan. Your interest free period will end on your due date if the relevant amount outlined in the table above (as applicable) is not paid in full. While you have a Balance Transfer or SmartPlan Balance, your interest free period will end on your due date if the Monthly Payment Balance is not paid in full. This means you will incur interest on any new Purchases and your outstanding Purchase Balance (regardless of when particular Purchases were made). A new interest free period will start the next time you pay your closing balance or Monthly Payment Balance (as applicable) in full by the due date. You may see interest charges on your next statement even after paying the closing balance or Monthly Payment Balance in full by the due date. This usually happens where you did not pay the previous closing balance or Monthly Payment Balance in full by the due date (the new interest charges are for the period between your last statement and when you paid the closing balance or Monthly Payment Balance).
15 5.3 Calculation and application of interest charges. Unless you satisfy the interest free period conditions set out in Clause 5.2, you must pay interest on all amounts outstanding on the Card Account (other than on amounts outstanding on your PartPay Balance). Interest charges are applied at the end of each statement period, but are calculated daily based on the amounts outstanding on the Card Account (excluding amounts outstanding on your PartPay Balance) at the end of each day. Your Card Account balance is divided into ‘balance categories’ and this determines the Annual Percentage Rate that applies and when interest begins to be charged. • Table 1 shows what is included in each balance category and which Annual Percentage Rate applies to each balance category. • Table 2 shows when interest begins to be charged on different parts of your balance. On each day the outstanding balances for each category are multiplied by the applicable Annual Percentage Rate(s) divided by 365. The total amount of interest due is calculated by adding together all of the daily values across each day of the statement period.

If you make a Purchase (other than a PartPay Purchase) that is later refunded you will be charged interest on that Purchase for the period between the date of the original transaction and the date of the refund unless an interest free period applies. We will adjust your Card Account in relation to the relevant Purchase amount if we discover an error, a payment to the Card Account is dishonoured, or transactions are reversed following a dispute or unauthorised use. In the case of a PartPay Balance payment we may also adjust a PartPay Payment Schedule.
18 6.0 Paying your Card Account. 6.1 How much you have to pay each month. You must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due as shown on each statement by the due date. If you fail to do so, we may apply a Missed Payment Fee to the Card Account. (Please refer to your Financial Table for the Fees applicable to your account.) You can choose to pay more than the Minimum Payment Due. Account credits such as refunds, reversals, cashback and overpayments in prior months, do not count towards the Minimum Payment Due. PartPay Balance payments credited to your Card Account between your statement date and the due date for that statement, will count towards the Minimum Payment Due. If you cannot make a payment, you must contact us promptly as we may be able to help you. 6.2 How you can make your payment. Payments (other than PartPay Balance payments) must be made in Australian Dollars using one of the ways listed in your statement. You can also opt to have your payment made automatically through our Card Autopay facility, further details of which can be found at: westpac.com.au/autopay See the PartPay Terms for details on how you can make a PartPay Balance payment. You should allow plenty of time ahead of your payment due date for your payment to reach us, for us to process it and for funds to clear into your account. After we receive your payment we will process and credit the verified amount to the Card Account as soon as we can. You can only access an amount that you have paid once the payment has cleared. Processing and clearing times will depend on how you pay and at what time of day. For more information about processing times, please call us. For Smart ATM processing and cut-off times visit westpac.com.au and search ‘ATM features’. 6.3 How we apply your payments. Payments to the Card Account are applied to:
- balances owing on your most recent statement; and then
- transactions made since your last statement was issued. Within each balance or group of balances above we pay off the balances in order of the Annual Percentage Rate they attract, from highest to lowest. If the same Annual Percentage Rate applies to more than one amount, we apply the payment to those amounts in the following order:
19 • Interest charges incurred to date; • Fees incurred to date; and • Transactions (such as Cash Advances, Purchases or Missed PartPay Payments). Within each of the three categories above, the payment is applied in the order in which the relevant amount was debited to the Card Account. If you have more than one promotional plan on your account where special terms apply (for example a Balance Transfer offer) and they both have the same Annual Percentage Rate, we will apply payments to the oldest plan first. If you have a SmartPlan see Clause 7.6. If you have a PartPay Card see your PartPay Terms. 7.0 Westpac SmartPlan. 7.1 What is a SmartPlan? A SmartPlan helps you split an eligible large Purchase and part or all of your credit card balance (excluding your PartPay Balance) into manageable instalments. When you set up a SmartPlan your Card Account balance will be split into: • a SmartPlan Balance – this will include all of your active SmartPlans • your Main Account Balance, which is made up of any remaining amounts. Setting up a SmartPlan does not change the credit limit of your Card Account or your obligation to keep your total balance within your credit limit as detailed in Clause 3.6. 7.2 How do you set up a SmartPlan? You can ask us to set up a SmartPlan using Online Banking (either on your desktop or in the Westpac mobile app). Your request may take up to 2 business days, but we will notify you if we accept your request. The maximum number of SmartPlans you can have at one time is eight (8). 7.3 Are there Fees and charges? We will advise you of the Annual Percentage Rate and any Fees that apply to your SmartPlan when you ask for it to be set up. All applicable Fees and interest charges will be added to the total SmartPlan Balance and be included in your instalment payments. When you ask us to set up your SmartPlan, we will provide you with an ‘Estimated Total Repayment’ figure. The actual amount you will pay will vary depending on the date your SmartPlan is activated and on the payments that you make.
20 7.4 How does SmartPlan affect what you need to pay each month? When you set up a SmartPlan you will choose the number of monthly instalment payments you will need to make. To keep the SmartPlan open you need to pay these instalments by the due date on your statement each month. Having a SmartPlan doesn’t change your obligation to always pay the Minimum Payment Due each month as explained in Clause 6.1. 7.5 Does a SmartPlan change Autopay instructions? Setting up a SmartPlan will affect your Autopay. If you have set up Autopay to pay a fixed dollar amount or a fixed percentage of your balance you will need to update your preference before you can request a SmartPlan. If you have a PartPay Card, it will not affect your Autopay for that card as that arrangement only applies to your PartPay Payments. To set up a SmartPlan you must change your Autopay instruction to either pay the: • Monthly Payment Balance – to retain interest free periods; or • Monthly Payment – to meet your minimum payment requirements on your Main Account Balance and pay your SmartPlan instalment. If you already have Autopay set to one of these options the amounts collected will be automatically adjusted to include any SmartPlan instalments. Regardless of any changes due to you setting up a SmartPlan, Autopay will always collect at least the Minimum Payment Due. 7.6 How does SmartPlan affect how we apply your payments? When you have a SmartPlan we will adjust the order in which payments are applied to your Card Account. Payments will be applied in the following order:
- To the SmartPlan instalment(s) shown on your most recent statement *
- To your Main Account Balance (excluding your PartPay Balance) in the order as described in Clause 6.3
- To any outstanding SmartPlan Balance(s)*
- To your PartPay Balance in accordance with Clause 6 of your PartPay Terms *If you have more than one we pay them off in order of the Annual Percentage Rate they attract, from highest to lowest. If two or more SmartPlans have the same Annual Percentage Rate, payments will be applied first to the oldest SmartPlan.
21 By setting up a SmartPlan, you are asking us to apply payments in this way. In some circumstances, this means you might pay more interest than if you did not have a SmartPlan. You can cancel your SmartPlan at any time via Online Banking. 7.7 What happens if you do not pay your SmartPlan instalment in full or pay late? If you do not pay your SmartPlan instalment in full by the due date we may cancel your SmartPlan and move the balance back to the Main Account Balance. We will not refund any Fees you may have paid to set up your SmartPlan. If we allow your SmartPlan to continue we will not adjust your SmartPlan instalments. When this happens you will need to make catch-up payments to ensure your SmartPlan Balance is paid in full by the end of the plan term. If any SmartPlan Balance remains outstanding at the end of the SmartPlan term it will be transferred back to your Purchase Balance, Cash Advance Balance or Balance Transfer Balance (depending on where the balance was prior to being on a SmartPlan) and will have interest applied accordingly. 7.8 When does a SmartPlan end? Your SmartPlan will end: • on the last day of the SmartPlan term; or • when you pay off the full SmartPlan Balance; or • when the SmartPlan is cancelled You can cancel your SmartPlan at any time in Online Banking. We may cancel a SmartPlan if: • You fail to pay your SmartPlan instalment by the due date shown on your statement; or • You make an arrangement with us to pay less than the Monthly Payment; or • You do not comply with your obligations under these Terms and Conditions. We will notify you if we cancel a SmartPlan.
22 8.0 What to do if you have a problem. 8.1 Security problems and transaction disputes. Security problems. If your Card is lost or stolen or you believe your PIN or other passcodes have been compromised you must contact us immediately. If you fail to do so you may be liable for any losses that result from your failure to notify us or any delay in doing so. Unauthorised transactions. If you believe your Card has been used to make transactions without your permission you must contact us immediately so that we can block the Card Account and investigate the issue. Other transaction disputes. If you are not happy with goods and services you have purchased with your Card or you believe the Merchant has charged you incorrectly you should first try to resolve your dispute with that Merchant. If this does not resolve your dispute you may have additional rights under the Mastercard or Visa dispute process. Please call us or use the ‘Dispute this transaction’ function within Online Banking. We encourage you to notify us of the dispute as soon as possible and if we ask you for further information you must provide that information within 14 days (or such longer period as it may be reasonable to allow). Our ability to obtain a refund may be restricted under Mastercard or Visa rules depending on how quickly you notify us. For further information on what to do and the options available to you when problems occur please visit: westpac.com.au/fraud-disputes-lost-stolen-cards
23 Liability for unauthorised transactions and system failures. We apply the ePayments Code to determine liability for any losses that result from unauthorised electronic transactions or systems or equipment malfunctions. The below provides examples of when you may be liable for losses from an unauthorised transaction and when you are not. For more information, see the ePayments Code at ASIC’s website: www.asic.gov.au . When you may be liable * When you are not liable • When you contributed to the loss through fraud or failing to protect your PIN as set out in Clause 2.1 • When you leave your Card in an ATM • When you unreasonably delay in telling us about the misuse, loss or theft of your Card, or that the security of your PIN has been breached • When it is clear that you did not contribute to the loss ** • Losses due to our (or our people’s) fraud or negligence • Transactions incorrectly charged more than once to the Card Account • Unauthorised transactions after you tell us about a Card, PIN or password security issue • Unauthorised transactions that can be made using your Card number and expiry date, without your Card, PIN or other password • Losses arising from a system malfunction where a transaction is not completed in line with instructions you have submitted and that have been accepted by the system
- You will not be liable for the portion of losses that exceed your credit limit, or that were incurred in one day in excess of your transaction limit. **Where losses arise from a transaction that requires a PIN and it is not clear if you contributed to the loss your liability will be no more than $150. To avoid liability for transactions involving handwritten signatures, you must also adequately protect your Card. 8.2 Resolving problems and complaints. If you have a problem or complaint, we aim to resolve it at your first point of contact with us. If we cannot do so, we will escalate it to our Customer Solutions Team. If you are not satisfied with our response or handling of your complaint, you may be able to lodge a complaint with the free, independent external dispute resolution scheme, the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA). AFCA’s details can be found at the front of this document.
24 9.0 Closing your Card Account or cancelling your Card. 9.1 Your right to close your Card Account. You may ask us to close your Card Account through Online Banking or by contacting us. When we receive a closure request we will cancel your Cards immediately and close your Card Account (which ends your Credit Card Contract) as soon as your balance is repaid in full. To cancel an Additional Card (but not close the Card Account) please notify us in branch or by phone. To cancel a PartPay Card please see your PartPay Terms. 9.2 Our right to cancel a Card or block the Card Account. We may cancel a Card or block the Card Account without giving notice: • if we suspect fraud or need to take action to prevent losses; • to manage regulatory risk; • where we reasonably believe the use of an account has caused harm (including financial abuse) to another person; or • for any other reason determined by us acting reasonably. We may also cancel a Card or block the Card Account if you are in default. Further details are provided below in Clause 9.3. If your account has a positive (credit) balance when it is closed by you or us, we may: • transfer that amount to another account in your name that you hold with us; and/or • attempt to contact you to return the amount. If we have given you notice and you have not contacted us to seek return of the amount and it is less than $10, we may transfer those funds to a charitable organisation or association. 9.3 Our rights when you are in Default. You are in default if: • You don’t make the required payments when due (for the avoidance of doubt you will not be in default if you do not pay a PartPay Payment by its PartPay Payment Date); • You become bankrupt or enter into any arrangement with creditors; or • You or the Additional Cardholder do any of the following and, in our reasonable opinion, this has a material impact on our credit, legal or reputational risks:
25 − fail to comply with the law; − engage in conduct that is misleading; − use the Card Account for a non-approved purpose. When you are in default the Bank may require immediate payment of all amounts you owe under this Credit Card Contract, including amounts accrued or charged but not yet debited to your account. You may also have to pay reasonable enforcement expenses, including any amount reasonably incurred by the use of our staff and facilities. Before we require immediate repayment in full, you will normally be given 30 days’ written notice to allow you an opportunity to remedy the default. Sometimes we may immediately start enforcement proceedings without providing notice, for example where: • we believe, on reasonable grounds, that we were induced by fraud on your part to enter into this Credit Card Contract; • we have made reasonable efforts to locate you without success; or • a court authorises us to commence enforcement proceedings without notice to you. 9.4 What you must do when a Card is cancelled or the Card Account is closed. When the Card Account has been closed or a Card (other than a PartPay Card) has been cancelled for any reason, you must: • Destroy the Card(s) in a secure manner. If you cannot destroy an Additional Card you must tell the Additional Cardholder not to use the Card and tell us so that we may cancel the Card. • Cancel any recurring payments which are linked to the Card Account because, although a stop may have been placed on the Card Account, the Additional Card may still be used in some circumstances that are out of our control. You will remain liable for recurring payments which have not been cancelled, and transactions debited to the Card Account which were made before closing your account. While the Card Account remains open, even if a Card is cancelled or a Card Account is blocked, you must continue to meet your payment obligations and all other obligations under these Terms and Conditions. Fees and charges including interest will continue to apply until the balance is paid off and the Card Account is closed. Please see the PartPay Terms for details on what you must do when your PartPay Card is cancelled.
26 10.0 Our additional obligations and rights. 10.1 Right of set-off. Where you also have another account with Westpac (for example a deposit account) we may use funds from one to pay amounts owed on the other. Unless specifically allowed under law, you may not set off or deduct any amounts we owe you against amounts you owe on your Card Account. 10.2 Right of assignment. We may assign our rights under your Credit Card Contract to someone else. You may not assign your rights under your Credit Card Contract to another person. 10.3 Right of variation. We may make the following changes to the Credit Card Contract: • Changes to interest (including changing the Annual Percentage Rate(s) or how we calculate and apply interest); • Changes to your payments (for example, how much, how they are calculated or when or how often you need to pay); • Changes to Fees (including introducing new Fees, changing the amount of them or the time of payment); • Changes to credit or transaction limits (including reducing your credit limit); • Other changes that: − reflect changes in law, official directives, or the guidance from a regulator; − reflect changes to our business or systems; − reflect current industry or market practice or conditions; − are administrative or correct a mistake; − we reasonably think you will benefit from; − are reasonably necessary to protect our legitimate interests. We will generally apply these changes to a class of customers or a product, but where they reflect changes to a credit limit, our risk associated with you, a mistake on your account or will be beneficial to you, we may apply them just to you.
27 How and when we notify you of changes. Changes to Annual Percentage Rates How In writing (which may be on your statement) or a notice we publish* When As soon as reasonably possible, but no later than the day the change happens. Changes to Fees How In writing (which may be on your statement) or a notice we publish* When As soon as reasonably possible. However, if we believe the change is unfavourable to you , we will give you notice at least 30 days in advance.** Changes that reduce your obligations, extend the time for payment How In writing (which may be on your statement) When As soon as reasonably possible but no later than the next statement after the change takes effect. Any other changes (including reducing your credit limit or changes that we believe are unfavourable to you) How In writing (which may be on your statement) When As soon as reasonably possible, at least 30 days in advance.** *We may use a range of means of publishing a notice from time to time, including in a newspaper, on our website or our Online Banking app, or a combination of one or more of these. We will also inform you of the change before or when we send you the next statement after the change takes effect. **Where it is reasonable for us to manage a material and immediate risk (for example, you are in default, or your Card Account has been inactive for 6 months), or immediately restore or maintain the security of one of our systems, or a Card Account, we may make unfavourable changes with less notice or no notice. Where we are allowed to do so, we can notify you of changes electronically (e.g. by email or messages in Online Banking).
28 10.4 Tax Reporting Obligations. We are required under domestic and international laws to collect and report financial and account information relating to individuals and organisations who are, or may be, foreign tax residents. We may ask you whether you or any shareholder, beneficiary, settlor or controlling person are a foreign tax resident from time to time, such as when you open an account with us, or if your circumstances change. If you do not provide this information to us, including information about the foreign tax identification number for all countries you or any shareholder, beneficiary, settlor or controlling person are a foreign tax resident of, we may be required to limit the services we provide to you. This could include not opening your product, or limiting functions or services of your product, or closing it.

Where there are no named beneficiaries (e.g. for beneficiaries identified only as a class) you must tell us if a beneficiary is a foreign tax resident immediately when any decision is made to identify such beneficiary and, in any case, before such distribution is to be made to them. You may contact us to provide foreign tax residence information by calling 1300 725 863. We cannot give tax advice, so please contact your independent tax advisor if you need help finding out whether any person is a foreign tax resident. 11.0 Meaning of important terms.

For example: • You get at least same day notice for a change to an Annual Percentage Rate. That notice may be a written notice to you or a notice published by your credit provider. • You get 30 days’ advance written notice for: − A change in the way in which interest is calculated; or − A change in credit Fees and charges; or − Any other changes by Westpac except where the change reduces what you have to pay or the change happens automatically under the contract. 9. Is there anything I can do if I think that my contract is unjust? Yes. You should first talk to us. Discuss the matter and see if you can come to some arrangement. If that is not successful, you may contact the AFCA scheme. The AFCA scheme is a free service established to provide you with an independent mechanism to resolve specific complaints.
36 The AFCA scheme can be contacted at: Australian Financial Complaints Authority Online: www.afca.org.au Email: info@afca.org.au Phone: 1800 931 678 (free call) Mail: Australian Financial Complaints Authority GPO Box 3 Melbourne VIC 3001 Alternatively, you can go to court. You may wish to get legal advice, for example from your community legal centre or Legal Aid. You can also contact ASIC, the regulator, for information on 1300 300 630 or through ASIC’s website at www.asic.gov.au . General. 10. What do I do if I cannot make a repayment? Get in touch with us immediately. Discuss the matter and see if you can come to some arrangement. You can ask us to change your contract in a number of ways: • To extend the term of your contract and reduce payments; or • To extend the term of your contract and delay payments for a set time; or • To delay payments for a set time. 11. What if we cannot agree on a suitable arrangement? If we refuse your request to change the repayments, you can ask us to review this decision if you think it is wrong. If we still refuse your request you can complain to the AFCA scheme. Further details about this scheme are set out below in question 13. 12. Can Westpac take action against me? Yes, if you are in default under your contract. But the law says that you cannot be unduly harassed or threatened for repayments. If you think you are being unduly harassed or threatened, contact the AFCA scheme or ASIC, or get legal advice. 13. Do I have any other rights and obligations? Yes. The law will give you other rights and obligations. You should also READ YOUR CONTRACT carefully.

- Westpac Extras offers Westpac will analyse the recent card purchasing history of eligible customers to ascertain the types of products and services you like to buy and will, from time to time, communicate to selected customers offers from third-party retailers (each an Offer ). Offers may be sent via email or made available within the Rewards and Offers Hub in Online Banking. You are auto enrolled into the Westpac Extras program if you hold an Eligible Credit Card and have not previously opted out of Westpac Marketing emails and/or Online Banking Invitations. Each Offer is subject to its own terms and conditions (the Offer Terms and Conditions ). The Offer Terms and Conditions will set out the participating retailer locations, the minimum spending requirement, the period during which the Offer is available and any other conditions or restrictions that apply to the Offer. To accept an Offer you must make a purchase which complies with the Offer Terms and Conditions using an Eligible Credit Card at the participating retailer (each an Eligible Purchase ). When you make an Eligible Purchase you will receive a statement credit to the value outlined in the relevant Offer ( Statement Credit ).
5 Offers are not transferrable, refundable and/or able to be exchanged or redeemed for cash or credit and can only be accepted by customers who have received the particular Offer from Westpac. Additional cardholders are eligible to accept an Offer that has been received by the primary cardholder. Any Statement Credits received as a result of an additional cardholder accepting an Offer will be credited to the primary cardholder’s account. 2. Eligible Cards Most Westpac branded consumer credit cards and all Altitude Business credit cards (each an Eligible Credit Card ) can be used to make an Eligible Purchase by a customer who has received an Offer. The following Westpac branded cards are not eligible to accept the Offers: • Westpac BusinessChoice credit cards; • Westpac Corporate credit cards; and • Westpac business or consumer debit cards. Purchases made using an online payment platform such as PayPal are not eligible (even where an Eligible Credit Card is linked to that online payment platform).
6 3. Statement Credit A Statement Credit will be made to the card account which was used to make the Eligible Purchase. A Statement Credit will generally be paid to the card account within 7 days after the date on which the Eligible Purchase is processed or up to 30 days if any redeemed offers are disputed. In certain circumstances, it is possible that a public holiday, a dispute with a third-party retailer or technology issues may result in a delay in paying a Statement Credit. Westpac accepts no responsibility for any loss suffered as a result of any delay in paying Statement Credits. Statement Credits are not redeemable as cash or any other payment form. If you withdraw the amount of a Statement Credit as a cash advance using your credit card you will incur interest in accordance with your credit card contract at the variable cash advance interest rate then applicable to your card account. You will also incur any cash advance fees then applicable to your card account. You are not eligible to receive Statement Credits if your card credit card account is in default under your credit card contract or if your card has been cancelled or suspended. You are still eligible to receive a Statement Credit if your Eligible Credit Card is being re-issued as a result of having been lost, stolen or damaged. However, there may be a delay in processing Statement Credits to such accounts.
7 4. Non-Availability of Offers A third-party retailer that is named in an Offer may be unable to process a purchase you make because of a fault or issue that retailer is experiencing (such as a fault or issue with that retailer’s payment system). Westpac will accept no liability if you are unable to accept an Offer as a result of such a fault or issue with a third party. Furthermore, Westpac cannot be liable for the accuracy or completeness of any claims made by third-party retailers in an Offer concerning their products or services. 5. Reversal of Statement Credit Westpac may reverse any Statement Credits paid to your card account in the event that the Eligible Purchase is returned or cancelled or because the retailer disputes the purchase. 6. Fraud, gaming and tampering Westpac may, in its absolute discretion, suspend or cancel the Westpac Extras program if any fraud, gaming or tampering of the Westpac Extras program results in, or is likely to result in, any loss or damage to Westpac. Westpac may, in its absolute discretion, disqualify any individual suspected of engaging in any fraud, gaming or tampering behaviour from receiving the Offers.
8 Westpac may, in its absolute discretion, reverse any Statement Credit paid to a card account in the event Westpac suspects fraud, gaming or tampering behaviour. 7. Privacy In order to formulate Offers for eligible customers, Westpac will analyse your credit card transaction history. This process may involve the use of third-party service providers who will be provided with transaction history data on an anonymised basis. Those service providers will use that information to identify appropriate Offers, which will then be made available to particular categories of customers. For further information on how Westpac manages your personal information, please see the Westpac Privacy Policy available at westpac.com.au/privacy 8. Your existing Credit Card Contract These terms and conditions do not alter any terms of your existing Credit Card contract. You must continue to make the minimum payment reflected on your monthly credit card account statement. A Statement Credit will not contribute to any minimum monthly payment applicable to your card account.
9 9. Amendments to these Terms and Conditions We can make changes to these terms and conditions at any time. Where we do so we will make the updated terms and conditions available at westpac.com.au/extras If you’re still unhappy You may be able to lodge a complaint with the free, independent external dispute resolution scheme, the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA). AFCA’s details are set out below. Australian Financial Complaints Authority Online: www.afca.org.au Email: info@afca.org.au Phone: 1800 931 678 (free call) Mail: Australian Financial Complaints Authority GPO Box 3 Melbourne VIC 3001
10 These Terms and Conditions apply to the Westpac Extras program. They were last updated on 1 February 2023. Westpac may withdraw the Westpac Extras program at any time in its absolute discretion. If the Westpac Extras program is withdrawn Westpac will stop making the Offers referred to above. For the latest version visit westpac.com.au/extras

International
Tax Reporting Obligations
Effective from 1 July 2024, we’re updating our home loan terms to clarify our obligations to collect and report information on foreign tax residents as shown in this new clause:
Tax Reporting Obligations
We are required under domestic and international laws to collect and report financial and account information relating to individuals and organisations who are, or may be, foreign tax residents. We may ask you whether you or any shareholder, beneficiary, settlor or controlling person are a foreign tax resident from time to time, such as when you open an account with us, or if your circumstances change.
If you do not provide this information to us, including information about the foreign tax identification number for all countries you or any shareholder, beneficiary, settlor or controlling person are a foreign tax resident of, we may be required to limit the services we provide to you. This could include not opening your product, or limiting functions or services of your product, or closing it.
Unless you tell us otherwise, by completing any application for products covered by these terms and conditions, you certify that you, any shareholder, named beneficiary, settlor or controlling person is not a foreign tax resident. You must tell us if you, or any shareholder, named beneficiary, settlor or controlling person is, or becomes, a foreign tax resident (unless an exemption applies, such as for shareholders of listed companies). Where there are no named beneficiaries (e.g. for beneficiaries identified only as a class) you must tell us if a beneficiary is a foreign tax resident immediately when any decision is made to identify such beneficiary and, in any case, before such distribution is to be made to them.
You may contact us to provide foreign tax residence information by calling 1300 725 863. We cannot give tax advice, so please contact your independent tax advisor if you need help finding out whether any person is a foreign tax resident.
Things you should know
A Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) is a document, or sometimes a group of documents, that contains information about a financial product including any significant benefits and risks, the cost of the financial product and the fees and charges that the financial product issuer may receive. Supplementary PDSs may be issued from time to time and must be read in conjunction with the PDS to which they relate.
This website also contains other disclosure documents such as prospectuses, product information statements (PIS), annual reports and product offerings.
