      When we first came to Australia they made our transit to living here so easy, we had no problem getting a loan so we could set our selves up in a new house. The staff were so helpful with other personal accounts letting us know which ones suited our needs. When our car was stolen they were helpful in letting us refinance our personal loan so that we could buy another car. Overall they made us very welcome and their staff were really great.

      They have offset my loan against my savings account so even having the money in my account instead of paying extra off the loan saves me money, which means I can save money for the other things in life instead of using a credit card or borowing more money. This seems to be working well for us.

      The interest rate is amongst the lowest in the market but they could do better. They used to offer redraw on this product but removed this feature after I signed up. The redraw was one of the influencing factors for my purchase. I also objected to the application fee as I've been a loyal customer for a long time but they would not waive this.

      I took out a personal loan due to bad luck and instead of upping my credit card limit I took out a personal loan cause the interest rates are slightly cheaper than a credit card. It's great. I had the funds to bury my mother and the bank were so helpful in giving me the loan making out like they cared and were doing me a favour but the truth be known they had dollar signs in their eyes.

      I applied for a Westpac Flexiloan for a debt consolidation, as I'll always have a debt of some sort. It's better to owe it to one place than a lot of others. I applied at 3.00pm and the money was avaialable at 6.30pm. I can pay as much as I want without being penalised and they greatest thing of all it's a revolving line of credit. I have been a Westpac customer for 10 years plus, their customer service is second to none, they are friendly, helpful, product knowledgeable and they have never given me bad advice.

      Like loans of any type, it is important to stay on top of it. I got really sick for some time and my bills became a thing of the past for a bit. Once I recovered, I had to fix up my debts and Westpac was the only bank willing to help me out. They allowed me to pay payments I could afford, they didn't default me for being behind and are allowing me to catch up still as we speak. The customer service is brilliant, always talking to a real person!!! I will never change banks!!
