I have been a bank west customer for just over 12 months now having multiple home loans with them and the terrible customer service and wait times on hold -- I would not recommend bank west to my worst enemy let alone a friend.

Always by far the worst bank I've ever dealt with. Changes my loan products without consent, deletes savings account without consent, when I have enquiries repeatedly gives them to staff on holidays, grossly undervalues property, the list goes on and on. Then out of the blue customer service calls up to fix things then goes MIA.

Being Bankwest and I’m on the east coast there are no physical branches but the phone service and internet banking is so easy to use.
