Card Lock

If you’ve misplaced your card and there’s a chance you’ll find it, a temporary lock keeps your card secure while you look for it. 

Once you've found it, you can unlock it, or if you can't find it report it lost or stolen.

Report a card lost or stolen

If your card has been lost, or stolen, you can cancel your card and request a new one in Online Banking or the Westpac App.

Use your Digital Card right away to access your money as you wait for your new card to arrive.

Card damaged or expired?

If your card is damaged, faded or won’t tap, requesting a replacement one in Online Banking or the Westpac App.

Your replacement card will have the same card number, so you won’t need to update any regular payments or your Digital Card.
