Things you need to know

	How much you could save Calculate what you could save by transferring your outstanding balance to a Westpac credit card using our Balance Transfer Calculator.
	Repayments Repayments made will go towards paying off fees and interest first followed by balances transferred onto the card. Once the transferred balance is paid off in full, repayments will then go towards paying off purchases and cash advances. Each month you need to make at least the minimum repayment towards your transferred balance, which is the greater of $5 or 2% of your closing balance. If you make new purchases or cash advances on the card and if on the balance transferred you still have an outstanding balance, you will incur interest on new purchases and cash advances.
	New purchases and cash advances You can make new purchases and cash advances on the credit card you transfer an outstanding balance to. Both will incur the current standard interest rates from the date the transaction is made with no interest free days, until the balance transferred and interest is paid off.
