Making payments on your Westpac credit card is quick and easy. You can do it online, through the Westpac app or in branch. You must make at least the minimum monthly payment, and you also have the option of paying more each month. Paying as much as you can towards the outstanding balance will help minimise the interest you pay.
How can I make repayments?
If you’re an existing Westpac credit card user, you can choose to make your repayments using any of the following:
BPAY
If you don't have an existing Westpac transaction account, or if you don't want to use your Westpac transaction account to make credit card repayments, you can turn to BPAY. You need to initiate the payment using your bank's online banking platform, and require the following details:
Biller name: Westpac Cards
Biller code: 5181
Reference number: Your Westpac credit card number
Card AutoPay
You can set up automatic payments using your Australian savings or transaction account. If you wish to set up automatic payments using an existing Westpac account, you can do so through online banking or by calling 1300 130 961 (8am-8pm, 7 days a week). To use an account with a different financial intuition, you have to take a completed Card Autopay Request form into any Westpac branch along with your ID.
When setting up your automatic repayments, you can choose to pay a set amount of the closing balance, a percentage of the closing balance, the minimum payment due or the full balance.
Transfer from an existing Westpac account
Existing transaction account holders with Westpac get three ways to make repayments towards their credit card accounts:
Login to Westpac’s online banking platform and transfer funds from your transaction accounts to your credit card accounts
Use Westpac’s phone banking platform and authorise payments towards your credit card accounts
Make repayments by visiting your closest ATM and transferring funds from your transaction accounts to your credit card accounts
Make Payments at a Westpac Branch
If you live or work close to a Westpac branch, and if you don’t wish to make repayments using any of the aforementioned methods, you can simply walk into to a branch and make your repayments.
Most Westpac branches are open between 9:30 am and 4:00pm, Monday to Friday.
There are a number of repayment options available to Westpac customers, so make sure to take advantage of the ideal one for you. If you don’t have a Westpac credit card and wish to get one, don’t forget to compare your options before applying.
How much do I have to repay every month?
The greater of 2% of your closing balance or $10; and
The greater of any unpaid past due amounts from previous statements or any amount that exceeds your credit limit.
If your closing balance is less than $10, you must repay the full amount.

Hi, My husband closed his Westpac account last year, as we have moved to the UK now. He has just had notification that his Westpac Visa card annual fee is overdue – we had assumed this was cancelled too but obviously not. We are unsure how we transfer payment for the credit card fee without a bank account in Australia. Our UK bank does not allow BPAY. We could pay via Paypal, if thats an option? Would appreciate any help on what to do.

We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product.

Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity.
