Make it work for you

Waiting for your card replacement

Don’t wait around for the postie – activate your new card the next business day – so you can keep making cardless and online payments. Plus, you can update your direct debits in the meantime.

Making online payments

Want to complete that online shopping order but your wallet’s in another room? No worries – just click on ‘Cards’ > ‘View card details’ in the app, and then copy and paste your card details.

Paying on the go

Forget the pocket pat down routine at the checkout. If you’ve linked your card to a digital wallet (like Apple Pay or Google Pay™), you can just tap and go with your smartphone.

Frequently asked questions

Info at your fingertips

1

How do I activate a digital card?

That’s one of the benefits of having a digital card – you don’t need to activate it.

Log in to the Bankwest App the next business day and tap on the ‘Cards’ tab to view your card details.

2

Is a digital wallet different to a digital card?

They’re a little different. A digital card is a read-only view of your card number, expiry and CVC to help you make payments online. Alternately, if you've linked your card to a digital wallet (like Apple Pay, Google Pay™ or Samsung Pay), you can make payments on the go.

3

How can I use my digital card details?

You can use your digital card details to set up regular payments and to shop online.

4

Does a digital card cost me extra to use?

There’s no extra cost.

5

Can any Bankwest card be used as a digital card?

If you see a Mastercard logo on your card, you can use a digital version of your card.

Digital cards aren’t available for Bankwest EFTPOS cards.
