"I currently hold a Westpac Choice and a Westpac Life account and I love them both. Being under 29, I get to unlock the bonus interest on my Westpac Life account, which is a massive win! I feel like my money is working for me and all I have to do is tap my card 5 times per month. The app is also super easy to use and allows me to set up savings goals as well as track spending. Great user experience overall!"

Westpac offers many different ways to do your banking.
Westpac has roughly 1,000 bank branches spread across Australia. Customers can go into a Westpac branch for assistance with day-to-day banking, to deposit cash or cheques, to open or close accounts or to speak to a professional banker.
There are more than 3,000 Westpac ATMs around Australia, and 50,000 internationally as part of Westpac's Global ATM Alliance. Westpac customers can also use their Australian debit cards to withdraw cash for free at CommBank, NAB and ANZ ATMs throughout Australia.
Customers can also use select Westpac ATMs to withdraw cash without their physical debit card, thanks to the bank's cardless cash feature.
If you need to deposit cash into your Westpac account, you can do this at a participating Australia Post shop using Bank@Post. It's free to deposit cash into your account this way.
Westpac Online Banking is Westpac's Internet banking portal for customers. You can log in 24/7 to review transactions and balances, see more detailed transaction data, pay bills, transfer money between accounts and make BPAY payments. You can also view and download your statements and open new Westpac accounts.
The Westpac app is free to download, and has a 4.2 star rating in the App Store and a 3.8 star rating in the Google Play store. You can do your day-to-day digital banking using the app, and you can also set up personal savings goals with your Westpac Life account and track your progress. The app can be customised to your taste with your own wallpaper, colours and profile picture.
Westpac offers Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay and Garmin Pay to customers with a Westpac debit or credit card. This means you can use your phone (or any compatible device) to make contactless payments for everyday items instead of using your physical debit card. You can also use the Westpac app to withdraw cash from eligible Westpac ATMs when you don't have your debit card with you, with the cardless cash feature.
You can apply for a new Westpac account online in less than 10 minutes. Just make sure you meet the eligibility criteria and have the necessary documents handy before you start your application.
If you're a Westpac customer, you can save money on ATM fees when travelling overseas through the bank's international ATM alliance. Westpac is partnered with major international banks and waives the fee for overseas ATM withdrawals at thousands of partner ATMs.
If you have an eligible card issued by a member of the Westpac Group such as travel or EFTPOS card, you won't pay any international ATM fees when you make a withdrawal from a Westpac international ATM alliance partner. A 3% foreign transaction fee applies when using a debit or credit card.
The following table shows the banks in different countries where Westpac customers can avoid the international ATM fee. Note that Westpac-issued American Express cards are not included in the Westpac Global ATM Alliance.

Hi Frances,
Thanks for your question.
While we do not have a dedicated term deposit rates comparison page for WA, you may use our term deposit page. You should find a comparison table on that page that lists the term deposit accounts along with their corresponding interest rates.
Please read through the terms, conditions, and features of the account you’re interested in before making a final decision.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,

I have Westpac bank Choice account and Esaver account. And I have issued the debit MasterCard . When I want to use I have to press credit instead of savings. Why it is like this? I do not understand, it is not credit card but still I have to press credit. And I have faced some problems like I can not with draw money in shops. Please let me what can I do about this.
Thanks
Hi Vemanna,
Thanks for the query.
Pressing “credit” makes the purchase go through as a credit transaction, which gives it additional fraud protection compared to a regular transaction would. If you can’t withdraw money from the “credit” option, you can try using the “savings” option. Remember to check if you have sufficient funds to complete the transaction.
I hope this helps,
Harry
Can I use smart ATM to deposit cash in to my imb account and funds be available immediately? Urgent. Thanks
Hi Ben,
Thanks for your question.
Unfortunately Westpac SmartATMs can only facilitate deposits straight into Westpac accounts. You may want to consider using Bank@Post instead.
Cheers,
