Smart card, smart choice
When you make a purchase or ATM withdrawal, the Westpac Global Currency Card will first take money from the relevant currency balance that the transaction is denominated in. For example, if the transaction is in US dollars, your card will look to see if your US dollar currency balance can meet the requested transaction amount in full. If not, the card will then automatically work its way through the other currency balances in the default order of priority until the requested transaction amount is satisfied in full. The default order of priority of currencies is as follows:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
NZD | AUD | EUR | USD | GBP | JPY | CAD | HKD | SGD |
- Once you have activated your card, you can use it to make purchases at millions of Mastercard locations (in store, ATMs and online)*^.
- Likewise, if you need cash, you can withdraw funds using the "Credit" button at any ATM that accepts Mastercard, locally and internationally.
- When you need more funds you can reload it online, either by bank transfer or debit card. If you do not have sufficient funds loaded on your card, your transaction will be declined.
