Daily Payment Limit

Daily Payment Limit explained

• A Daily Payment Limit is the amount of money you can transact per day within Online Banking or the Westpac App.*
• This limit can help you stay in control of your everyday banking as well as increase security by limiting how much money can be moved each day from the accounts you access via Online Banking.
• The default Daily Payment Limit is $750 per day for your Online Banking if you're aged 14 years or over. If you are under 14 years old, the default Daily Payment Limit is $50 per day. The limit is shared between you and anyone who has access to make payments. If you change your Daily Payment Limit, everyone with shared access will also be able to access the modified limit.
