9/2/2026
Quick answer: Call Westpac's overseas line at +61 2 9155 7700, 8am to 8pm Sydney time, 7 days a week, for general banking, telephone banking, and card questions. For a lost or stolen card, use the 24/7 emergency line, +61 2 9155 7744, instead.
Westpac actually publishes toll-free options for some countries
Most banks in our guides use a single standard international number, but Westpac goes a step further: it lists toll-free numbers for calling from specific countries, including Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, the Philippines, the UK, and the US. If you're not in one of those, or the toll-free number doesn't work on your network, the standard overseas number below works from anywhere.
