Waiting for your card replacement

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.

As soon as your account is open, you can log in to the Bankwest App and tap on the ‘Cards’ tab to view your card details straight away.

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 Visa or EFTPOS cards.
