Frequently asked questions

Info at your fingertips

Can I use Apple Pay overseas?

Yes, Apple Pay will work in all countries wherever contactless payments are accepted, but you need to add your cards to your wallet while in Australia (it's a security thing). We recommend you take your plastic card as a backup when travelling overseas, just in case you can't find a contactless terminal.

How much can I spend using Apple Pay?

You can spend up to your available balance when using your Bankwest Debit Mastercard^® and up to your available limit when using your Bankwest Mastercard credit card.

What do I do if my device is lost or stolen?

Make sure you get in touch with us. We can suspend or remove your Bankwest cards from Apple Pay and order you a new card if needed.

You can also go to your Apple ID account page or use Find My iPhone to suspend or permanently remove the ability to pay from that device with Apple Pay. On your Apple ID account page, sign in and click your device. In the information that appears, go to the Apple Pay section and click either 'Remove' or 'Remove all'. Your card or cards will be suspended or removed from Apple Pay even if your device is offline and not connected to a cellular or Wi-Fi network.

What do I do if my physical card is lost or stolen?

If you've misplaced your card, you can place a temporary lock on it in Bankwest Online Banking or our app – this will lock the card in the Wallet app, too.

If your card has been stolen, or it's permanently lost, get in touch with us to cancel your card and order a new one.

If your card was added to Apple Pay, we'll update your Wallet App with your new card details as soon as we issue it.

This means you can start using your new card straight away in cases where a physical card isn't needed (like online shopping or where Apple Pay is accepted).

Before your physical card arrives in the mail, you can log into the Bankwest App to access your digital card.
