Bankwest's range of credit cards can be used in over 32 million locations worldwide (wherever you see the MasterCard® logo) creating an easy and hassle-free way for making payments and accessing your funds when travelling overseas.
Using your PIN, you can also use your card to make cash withdrawals of up to $1,000 per day from any ATM in Australia, and over 1 million ATMs worldwide that display the MasterCard logo. All cash will be in the local currency. Just remember, cash advances may attract a higher interest rate than purchases.
If you link your credit card to your Bankwest cheque or savings account, you can also use your card prior to travelling to access these accounts at any Australian ATM. If you are withdrawing cash make sure you select either the ‘Cheque’ or ‘Savings’ option, otherwise it will be treated as a cash advance. To link your other accounts to your credit card, call us on
