What’s great?
Westpac is helping keep life cheaper by waiving the monthly fee on its Choice Student debit account. This card offers students a low-cost and convenient way to save and spend, with some added perks like discounts and rewards.
$0 Monthly Account Fee
You won’t pay the usual $5 monthly account-keeping fee if you’re a full-time tertiary student under 30.
Pay Digitally
Before you receive your physical debit card, you can start spending using your digital card on the Westpac app. You can also make contactless payments with Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Fitbit Pay and Garmin Pay.
No fees on ATM Withdrawals
There are no ATM withdrawal from Westpac Group ATMs in Australia and over 50,000 Global Alliance partner ATMs worldwide.
Big Security Features
Westpac has protection features in place such as Card on Hold, Westpac Protect SMS Code, and a Fraud Money Back Guarantee.
Earning rewards and discounts
Once you’re a Westpac customer, you’ll be able to log in to online banking and access exclusive discounts with big brands like JB Hi-Fi. These brands cover travel, entertainment, fashion, food and more, and change continually throughout the year.
What’s Worth Considering?
This card keeps spending simple, but doesn’t offer any interest on your savings. Also, be aware that there is a 3% international transaction fee if you make purchases overseas or online from an overseas store.
Why Should You Choose It?
This is a super budget-friendly card with virtually no fees as long as you don’t overdraw your account and you’re either a full-time tertiary student or under 30.
It comes with free membership to the Westpac Rewards program so you can save money on big brands, which is always helpful when you’re studying and pinching pennies.
