Overview This Service is provided to you by Westpac without charge. By registering for this Service, through Westpac’s Added Online Security service, your identity as the rightful cardholder can be confirmed when shopping with participating online retailers in the same way you use your PIN or signature at a physical store to ‘authorise’ your transactions. Some participating online retailers may make it a condition that you are registered with this Service before they will accept your Card. Your Password, personal assurance message and other personal data for this Service are not visible to or shared with any participating online retailer. Use of the Service is subject to these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). You agree to the Terms each time you use the Service. If you do not agree, you may not register for or use the Service. We may amend these Terms at any time. You can review the most current version of these Terms at any time at www.westpac.com.au/cardsecure. Please save or print a copy of these Terms for your records.
