THE unignorable idea
Young people fear credit cards, which is hurting their financial futures. Fortunately, they're obsessed with horror. So, we turned financial fear into an immersive horror experience, using creators and influencers to teach a generation how to use credit, not fear it.

"It's creepy. It's fun. And it might just change the way you see your credit card forever."
“House of Credit Card Fears challenged what people expect from a bank. By meeting young New Zealanders through culture rather than convention, it made Westpac feel more relevant, distinctive, and memorable.”
