You can use your chipped Keycard to make eftpos® contactless payments. It’s a fast, and secure way to pay - ideal for everyday purchases.
Make an eftpos® transaction with your Keycard and the amount is immediately deducted from your account balance so you always know what’s in your account.
Get cash out when you’re paying for your weekly groceries or at any of our 4,000 ATMs across Australia (tap cheque or savings).
Withdraw your money at ATMs, anywhere Cirrus® is accepted worldwide.
We’ll cover any loss due to unauthorised transactions on your account, as long as you protect your cards, devices, client numbers, PINs, passwords and any other access methods, and immediately notify us of their loss, theft or misuse or any suspicious activity on your account.
The chip in your Keycard gives you added security, helping you protect your money against card skimming and fraud.
With some of our bank accounts, we send you a Debit Mastercard. If you’d prefer a Keycard, contact us or drop into your nearest branch and we’ll order one for you.
Got a joint account? You can still order a Keycard even if your other account holder prefers to use a Debit Mastercard.
If you need to pay for things online or set up direct debit or recurring payments, a Debit Mastercard is a better option for you.
If you’re concerned about over-spending or have a tight budget and don’t want to stray off track, you can set a spending limit on your Keycard – up to $2,000.
Keycards issued since 28th July 2008, have a withdrawal limit of $1,000. The daily withdrawal limit applies to all cash withdrawals and purchases you make when you enter a PIN through ATMs, EFTPOS overseas using Maestro/Cirrus, Mastercard and Visa Plus networks, Australia Post offices and other agencies. You can change your daily card withdrawal limit (up to $2,000) in NetBank and the CommBank app.
Note: Withdrawal limits are per card and per calendar day (Sydney / Melbourne time) and Keycards are restricted to a maximum daily card limit of AUD$2,000 per day. If your account is linked to two cards e.g. Keycard and a Debit Mastercard, you can withdraw up to each daily withdrawal limit per card per day.
The embedded microchip adds security. It makes it more difficult to skim and fraudulently copy your card details. Plus, our 100% money back guarantee means you will never be liable for fraudulent use of your card, provided our Terms and Conditions are followed.
A Keycard doesn’t enable you to make purchases online.
