Spend like a local when you travel overseas or shop internationally with the Westpac Global Currency Card. Lock in exchange rates with up to 9 different currencies.
Just do all of your banking online, or via Eftpos/ATM – waive your paper statements, and you can bank with no transaction or account fees.
It’s a debit card that’s linked to your Westpac transaction account, not a Mastercard credit card. It draws the money from your account so you don’t have a credit card bill to pay. It also doubles as an Eftpos card – so it’s the only card you need.
What do you need in a credit card? Maybe you’d like a card with great rewards, or perhaps a lower interest rate? Check out our options.
It’s really easy to send money to or from overseas with telegraphic transfers and drafts.
Don’t let lost luggage – or worse – ruin your holiday. Our travel insurance is designed for recreational travel, and includes a 24-hour call centre for emergencies, to make sure you could have help when and where you need it.
If you’re away for a while, a foreign currency account could be very handy! You could use it to help manage your international transfers.
Avoid the $3 ATM transaction fee when you withdraw money overseas using an ATM belonging to the ATM Global Alliance.
Get your foreign cash organised before you leave. Check out our current rates and fees and arrange to pick up some cash.
There are a few countries where your Westpac cards won't be accepted:
• Cuba
