Westpac credit cards

Westpac is not only the oldest bank in Australia, but it's also the country’s oldest company. It was first established in 1817 as the Bank of New South Wales. Following a series of mergers and acquisitions, in 1982 it changed names to Westpac Banking Corporation.

It’s now one of the big four banks in Australia, with almost 14 million customers, 1400+ branches, 39,000 staff and close to 4000 ATMs.

Westpac has an extensive range of credit cards, as well as home loans, personal loans, card loans and much more. Its subsidiaries include St. George Bank, Bank of Melbourne and BankSA.

Did you find this page helpful?

^Words such as "top", "best", "cheapest" or "lowest" are not a recommendation or rating of products. This page compares a range of products from selected providers and not all products or providers are included in the comparison. There is no such thing as a 'one- size-fits-all' financial product. The best loan, credit card, superannuation account or bank account for you might not be the best choice for someone else. Before selecting any financial product you should read the fine print carefully, including the product disclosure statement, target market determination fact sheet or terms and conditions document and obtain professional financial advice on whether a product is right for you and your finances.
