What is PartPay?


You’ve probably heard of Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) services. Our credit card feature – PartPay1 – is similar, in that it lets you split purchases of $100 or more into 4 payments over 6 weeks.
 

However, there are some big differences.
 

Unlike others, PartPay is a payment feature of your credit card – it’s not an account by itself. So you have the same credit card protection, and you can’t spend beyond your existing available credit limit.


Why use PartPay?

How PartPay works

How to set up PartPay

Step 1

To access PartPay you need to have a Westpac Low Rate, Low Fee, Altitude Platinum or Black credit card account. You can use PartPay wherever Mastercard® is accepted.
 

Step 2

Turn on via the Westpac app to activate PartPay.
 

Step 3

Once activated, you’ll be issued a separate digital PartPay Card linked to your Credit Card account. Split purchases of $100 or more with your PartPay Card using the Westpac App or your digital wallet.

How to make payments after a purchase

  • Payments are made via PartPay Autopay (our automated card payment service). You need to set up a separate Autopay when you turn on PartPay - even if you already have Autopay set up to make other payments on your credit card account.
  • When you use your PartPay Card, the 4 payments are made automatically - the first around the time of purchase, the next three over the following three fortnights. If an amount can’t be split equally to the cent, the last payment will be adjusted to include anything left over.

What does it cost?

  • As long as there’s enough money in your nominated PartPay Autopay account to cover payments, there’s no additional cost.
  • Not enough in your nominated Autopay account? Autopay details incorrect? A missed PartPay payment will be transferred to your credit card account’s Purchase balance, which may be charged interest as a result.
  • Foreign transaction fees (including online) are charged at the same rate as your linked credit card account.

FAQs

No, PartPay is not a BNPL product. PartPay is a payment feature that’s available on eligible Westpac credit cards. It’s similar to ‘Buy Now Pay Later’ services in that eligible purchases made on the PartPay Card are split into 4 payments over 6 weeks.

Unlike a standalone BNPL product, PartPay is part of an existing credit card account. For PartPay, if you miss a payment the amount will be moved to your linked credit card's Purchase balance, and you may be charged interest as a result.  You aren’t charged a fee for missing a PartPay payment, like some BNPL products.
