Frequently asked questions
Make a monthly deposit into the account (by the last business day of the current month), ensuring your balance always stays above $0 and is higher than the account balance on the last business day of the previous month.2
Important: any interest earned and credited to the account does not count as a monthly deposit.
Things you should know
1. Westpac Bump variable interest: includes a standard variable base rate plus a variable bonus rate. Interest is calculated on the daily balance of your Westpac Bump account and paid on the last business day of the month. For the purpose of calculating interest paid, a month is the period between the last business day of the previous month to the second last day of the month (inclusive). Therefore, interest calculated on closing balances on and after the last business day of a month won't be included in the interest payable for the month but will be included in the interest payable for the next month.
a. your account balance has not fallen below $0; and
b. you (or someone on your behalf) have made a deposit of any amount (interest paid into your account does not qualify as a deposit in terms of bonus interest eligibility); and
c. the account balance on the last business day of the month is higher than the account balance on the last business day of the previous month.
Note: Bonus interest is calculated in the system after 11:59pm on the last business day of the month. Any transaction processed before 11:59pm may impact bonus interest eligibility.
9. Westpac Fraud Money Back Guarantee: ensures that customers will be reimbursed for any unauthorised transactions, provided that the customer has not contributed to the loss and contacted Westpac promptly. Refer to the Westpac Debit Mastercard Terms and Conditions for full details, including when a customer will be liable.
