Card on file

What does ‘saving’ your card details mean?

If you keep your card details on file with a service or business, it just means you give that provider permission to keep your card details saved. That means you don’t have to re-enter your details every time you make a purchase with them. Handy, right?

Why save your card details?

Convenient

No need to find your physical card or repeatedly enter in your card details.

Worry-free

Means you can put recurring bills on autopilot, so you don’t miss a payment.

Frequently asked questions

Will I need to update my card on file details with a merchant if my card is replaced (for example, if it is lost or stolen)?

Yes, as your replacement card will have different card details you will need to advise the merchant.

Will a card on file with a merchant be cancelled if my credit or debit card is closed or cancelled?

How do I remove my card on file with a merchant?

Can I find out which merchants my card is saved with in Online Banking?

The “My Merchants” page in your Online Banking lists merchants your card may be connected to, however these connections can originate from a variety of sources:

- The merchant may have your plastic card credentials for processing payments. These merchants have been compiled using transaction history such as monthly subscriptions, recurring or one-off payments and the information provided by merchants.

- The merchant may have a unique identifiable code called a 'token' in place of your plastic card credentials for processing payments.

In some instances, if you have saved your card with a merchant, it may not be listed in My Merchants, for example where you have saved your card but not used it with that merchant as yet.

If you would like further information about your relationship with a merchant, you can view historical transactions in the Westpac App by tapping on the chevron next to the corresponding merchant or by contacting the merchant directly.
