How a Westpac credit card works.
A Westpac credit card lets you spend up to an agreed limit and pay for things anywhere Mastercard® is accepted. It also offers two rewards programs: hotpoints® and Airpoints™.
If you can, you should aim to pay your credit card balance in full each month, so you don’t pay interest on your purchases. There may be other fees and charges – these are listed on our website.
If you’re thinking about using a credit card for a big one off purchase, it might not be the best option. Our team can help you talk through your choices – simply drop into your local branch or give us a call on 0800 400 600.
If you think a credit card is right for you, the the next step is to choose which type of card to get. To help you decide which credit card is best for you, compare our cards.
Check your eligibility.
When you apply online for a Westpac credit card, we’ll need some details.
- You need to be 18 years or older. You'll need your NZ Driver Licence or NZ Passport details to confirm your age.
- You must be a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident living in New Zealand.
- You'll need your foreign tax details if you're a foreign tax resident of any country other than New Zealand.
- You'll need details on what you earn, spend and owe. You can use your last three months of bank statements for this. We may ask for extra documents, depending on your situation.

* Third party fees and Westpac charges may apply. For full details refer to the Westpac Fee Free Mastercard® Conditions of Use and the our Transaction and Service Fees brochure.
**Rate will apply to balance(s) transferred until that balance(s) is paid off. Balance Transfer Terms and Conditions and lending criteria apply. All applications are subject to Westpac approval. You cannot transfer a balance from a Westpac card or loan. You can transfer up to 95% of your available credit card limit. Your card must remain within its credit limit after the balance has been transferred. Balances cannot be transferred to a Mastercard® BusinessCard/Purchasing Card. Balance transfers do not earn Airpoints Dollars™ or hotpoints®. Payments you make to your Westpac credit card will first go to charges and interest accrued, then to cash advances and purchases, followed by balance transfers as they appear on your last statement. Payments will then be applied to transactions that have not yet appeared on a statement in the same order. If you have multiple balance transfer rates, payments will first be applied to the balance transferred on the highest interest rate. Interest rates are subject to change without notice. All new purchases, cash advances and any unpaid interest or fees will incur interest at the standard interest rate in accordance with the card’s Conditions of Use.
1 Provided you notify us as soon as possible, have not acted fraudulently or negligently, and have complied with the card's Conditions of Use.
