Credit card application – what you’ll need

This page covers what income or employment documents you’ll need to provide for your Westpac credit card application.


If we conditionally approved your credit card application, then you would have received an email outlining information we need you to provide to finalise your application.

 

Please refer to the sections below (as applicable to you) to see which information you need to supply.

How to provide your documents
