PIN and biometric login

Updates and maintenance

Other legal provisions

About these Terms.

These terms and conditions (Terms) apply to your use of the Westpac One banking application (Westpac One App) developed by Westpac New Zealand Limited (Westpac, we, us, our).

Where we refer to you or your in these Terms, we mean any individual that is using the Westpac One App. Reference to a device means any iOS or Android device that you use to access the Westpac One App, including any smartphone, tablet, iPad or Apple Watch.

By downloading and/or using the Westpac One App, you agree that you (and anyone else using the Westpac One App on your device) will comply with these Terms, Westpac’s General Terms and Conditions (General Terms & Conditions), Westpac’s Privacy Policy and any other terms and conditions that apply to your Westpac accounts or to products and services provided by Westpac.

Any terms used but not defined in these Terms have the meaning given in the General Terms & Conditions unless the context otherwise requires.

We reserve the right to vary these Terms at any time. Notices of any such changes will be given at least 14 days in advance in at least one of the following ways:

by direct communication to you, for example by letter or electronic communication;
by the Next Best Conversation banner in Westpac One;
by message in Westpac online banking;
by displaying information in our branches;
by notice on our website; or
by notice in the media (including public notices).

If you continue to use the Westpac One App after the expiry of any notice period, you will be deemed to have accepted any change to these Terms. If you do not accept any changes to these Terms, please uninstall and stop using the Westpac One App.

Availability and use of the Westpac One App.

Westpac may suspend, modify or withdraw the operation of the Westpac One App, any functionality (including biometric login) and/or the Westpac Online Banking platform at any time, at our sole discretion and for any reason, including if any threat is posed to any system or part of any system, or for the purposes of carrying out routine periodic maintenance and administration work. Where reasonably possible, we will give you notice in advance of any such addition, modification or suspension.

Westpac may suspend or cancel your access to the Westpac One App without prior notice if we reasonably believe it is necessary or appropriate, for example where we believe that there is a risk of fraud or security breach. We will inform you in writing after we cancel your access.

PIN and biometric login.

PIN: You can set up a five-digit PIN to access the Westpac One App in place of a Password. The most recent PIN set up will apply regardless of device.

Biometric login: You may be able to use any fingerprint identification, facial recognition or other biometric information stored on your device as your preferred login credentials to access the Westpac One App from your device instead of a Password or PIN (biometric login).

Any person whose biometric information is stored on your device will be able to access your accounts through the Westpac One App. Accordingly, you must ensure that only your biometric information is stored on the device if you wish to use biometric device login. Biometric login details are stored on your device and not by Westpac, so we cannot verify the identity of any person who uses biometric login to access your account(s) or the Westpac One App from your device.

You agree that you will be responsible for all actions on your accounts following successful biometric login to the Westpac One App. In particular, you agree that each time your device registers a biometric login to authorise any transaction through the Westpac One App, you instruct us to perform that transaction in accordance with these Terms and the General Terms & Conditions.

Biometric login is only available on eligible devices running the minimum required software version and only to the extent that the device manufacturer provides the relevant method of biometric login on your device and we allow you to use that biometric login method to access the Westpac One App.

You can de-register from biometric login on your device via Settings.

Security.

You must exercise every possible care to ensure the safety of your device by taking all reasonable care to prevent loss, theft and unauthorised or fraudulent use. That includes:

not enabling or using biometric login if anyone else’s biometric information is stored on your device;
not allowing anyone else to use your device without your authority; and
locking your device when it is not in use.

You must contact Westpac on 0800 400 600 as soon as you become aware or suspect that:

your device has been lost or stolen;
someone other than you has accessed, or is capable of accessing or opening, a device of yours that is registered for biometric login where there is any risk they may access your accounts; or
your Password or PIN has been disclosed, used without your authority or may otherwise have become known to anyone else.

If you become aware or suspect that your login credentials have been compromised in any way then you must:

immediately cease using the Westpac One App;
immediately change your log-in credentials; and
notify Westpac of the security breach by calling Westpac on 0800 400 600 or by contacting your branch.

You must not conduct or allow (a) “jailbreaking” of any device running Apple Inc’s iOS operating system or (b) “rooting” of any device running Google’s Android operating system. Jailbreaking or rooting is the process of removing software restrictions imposed by the operating system proprietor and could enable unauthorised access to your accounts.

Only software approved by the relevant operating system provider (ie Apple or Google) should be installed on your device. Unapproved software could contain malware or “malicious software” such as viruses, worms, trojan horses or spyware designed to damage or gain unauthorised access to your device without your knowledge.

Registration (including login) and information requests made using the Westpac One App are protected by a certified encrypted secure connection or SSL. The Online Guardian Challenge service and our Online Banking Guarantee apply to your use of the Westpac One App in the same way as they apply to the Westpac Online Banking services via a computer.

Quick Access.

You can set up and change your Quick Access features, which include Quick Accounts and Quick Transfer, via Settings

If you set up Quick Accounts, your available balance of all your Quick Balance accounts will be viewable by anyone who has access to your unlocked device.

You will need to activate Quick Accounts before you can set up Quick Transfer. If you set up Quick Transfer, anyone who has access to your unlocked device will be able to use Quick Transfer to transfer amounts up to the maximum amount per transaction as set by you between your nominated Quick Balance accounts. You can modify your transfer limit via Settings up to the maximum amount of $500 per transaction.

You may select any photo stored on your smartphone or iPad to display with Quick Access. That photo will only be saved on your device and will not be provided to or stored by Westpac.

Privacy.

The privacy provisions in the General Terms and Conditions and our online Privacy Statement govern Westpac’s use of any personal information you provide during your use of the Westpac One App. We may use such personal information for any purpose associated with your use of the Westpac One App and the Westpac Online Banking services generally.

We may collect and use your personal information to comply with legislative or regulatory requirements in any jurisdiction, prevent fraud, crime or other activity that may cause harm in relation to our products or services and to help us run our business. When you use the Westpac One App, we may collect, store and retain information from your device, including your device ID, your location information, certain preferences, settings and information about apps installed on your device to verify that you are using a trusted device, your use of the Westpac One banking application (including transactions), or to monitor your device for security purposes.

GPS location data.

The ATM and Branch finder and the Global ATM finder help you to identify nearby Westpac ATMs and branches or ATMs around the world that are part of the Global ATM Alliance.

If you permit the Westpac One App to access location information from your device’s global positioning system (GPS), then the Westpac One App will use that information to determine your location. You may give or withdraw your permission for the Westpac One App to use your GPS location information at any time by changing your device’s “location services settings” (usually found in the “Privacy” settings).

If you do not allow the Westpac One App to access your GPS location information, you can still use the ATM and Branch finder or the Global ATM finder tools by manually inputting your location information into the Westpac One App.

Charges.

There is no charge for downloading the Westpac One App or using it to access your accounts (although all standard account and transaction fees and charges will continue to apply). You need an internet connection to download and use the Westpac One App and you will be responsible for all associated charges from your internet or mobile network provider(s).

Updates and maintenance.

To improve and maintain the Westpac One App, from time to time we may request that you install updates and upgrades. Unless we specify otherwise, these Terms, and the licence granted under these Terms, will apply to any updates and upgrades to the Westpac One App. Older versions of the Westpac One App will be withdrawn preventing them from being used. Access can be reinstated by downloading the latest version of the Westpac One App.

Your operating system provider has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services with respect to the Westpac One App.

Other legal provisions.

Licence for use.

Westpac grants you a limited, non-transferable licence to use the Westpac One App on a device that you own or control, subject to these Terms. If your device is an iOS device then Usage Rules as set out in the App Store Terms of Service will also apply. You are responsible for the use of the Westpac One App on your device, including any use by another person.

Termination.

You may stop using the Westpac One App at any time and terminate the licence granted to you under these Terms simply by uninstalling the Westpac One App from your device.

If you fail to comply with these Terms or any other applicable terms and conditions, Westpac may block or restrict your access to the Westpac One App. If we block your access, the licence granted to you under these Terms will immediately terminate.

Westpac may, at its discretion, modify or replace the Westpac One App to the extent necessary to avoid or minimise this challenge. You acknowledge that your operating system provider will not be responsible for any such claim.
