Lost or stolen Westpac card while overseas

If your card is lost or stolen, act straight away. Westpac's overseas card lines are +61 2 9155 7744 (general card line) and +61 2 9155 7700 (cards and emergency card services).

1. Try the Westpac App or Online Banking first. Both avoid the phone menu and the cost of an international call.
2. If you cannot get online, call +61 2 9155 7744. Westpac lists it as open 24 hours, 7 days, for card enquiries from outside Australia.
3. Calling from a mobile, public phone or hotel room? Westpac warns these calls may attract additional charges, so check your rate before dialling.

International payments and telegraphic transfers

For international payments and telegraphic transfers, call the international services line. It has shorter hours than the card lines, so plan your call for the Sydney working day.

Rates and what to expect

Call any Westpac number above from your browser for a flat $0.02 per minute.

002call sends your call over the internet, so it skips the international call charges your carrier and hotel phone would add. There is no subscription, and you pay only for the minutes you use. If you are abroad, Wi-Fi avoids mobile data charges. Westpac's own pages warn about extra charges on calls from phones and hotel rooms.

Before you call

• Have your Westpac customer details and the last digits of the card or account involved to hand.
• For a lost or stolen card, note the time you noticed it missing and where you last had it.
• For a payment, have the amount, currency, and the recipient's details ready.

Calls to other banks

Roaming and hotel rates on international calls can add up quickly, especially on hold. 002call charges a flat $0.02 / min for calls to every Westpac number above, and the same applies to other Australian banks and government lines you may need to call from abroad.

Direct Cost Comparisons for Calling Options

Breakdown of Providers

Calls to Australia from overseas can cost more than you expect, depending on how you dial:

• Carrier roaming: $0.50 - $2.00 / min, depending on the carrier, plus monthly and hidden charges.
• Hotel room phones: a hotel landline can add administrative markups on top of the standard call rate.
• 002call: $0.02 / min for Australian landlines, and you see the rate before you dial.

Why 002call is the smart way to call

The call goes over the internet from your browser, so it skips the international charges a carrier or hotel phone adds. You pay one flat rate with no subscription, and Wi-Fi keeps mobile data charges off the call. A 20-minute call to a Westpac landline costs $0.40 at $0.02 / min. 002call shows the rate before every call.
