Why has my automatic payment not gone out on the day I set it up for?
Automatic Payments are processed 365 days a year, at 7.30am, provided you have the funds. If the money isn't there, the payment will be re-tried that night and then again at 7.30am the following day. If you still don't have funds available at this time, the payment will fail.
If you want to amend, skip or cancel an Automatic Payment you can do this by:
- Westpac One® - online banking:
- 'Pay and transfer' from the left-hand navigation and select 'Planned payments'
- Select the Automatic Payment you want to change and use the options under the automatic payment details
- Or call us on 0800 Westpac (0800 937 8722), from 7am to 11pm, seven days a week, or on +64 9 912 8000 if you're outside New Zealand (standard call charges will apply)
- Or by visiting your nearest branch.
Please note automatic payments are unable to be set up or edited for up to half an hour during the processing windows between 7.30 to 8am and 10 to 10.30pm.
