How do I block a credit or debit card?
If you can't find your card, you can temporarily block it in Westpac One® digital banking to prevent someone else from using it and unblock it when you find it. If it’s lost or stolen, you can cancel it and order a new one in Westpac One.

- Select ‘Cards' from the menu at the bottom
- Select the card you’d like to manage
- Select 'Block card' to temporarily block or 'Unblock card' to unblock the card.
