I find it hard to say anything good about westpacs customer ethics especially the refund policy contradicts itself by the way they handled cyber fraud attack on my account loosing at least 30.000 over a few months when I brought it to their attention they claim to refund all of it on the website bit different when it happens they refused to look at it professionally trued to blame me for allowing such things belittled me to the point I didn't want to continue with. My dispute they had alot more to do with it than I'll ever find out I asurethst much disgusted completely and still no rectification on my account just gotta sit around bieng poor and homeless thanks Westpac booooo
Very competitive interest rates in savings account amongst the major banks
Incredibly helpful, friendly staff, and an easy to use app
They are inconvenient hard to get too
We have been with Westpac for a few decades now and have found them to service our needs when it comes to banking asking for a car loan as we have an excellent credit rating with them. Also in the matter when unauthorised money has been taken out by bad people and no fault of our own bank Fraud. Westpac are very helpful,
Useful for allocating funds for short term needs.
I have never had a problem with Westpac bank, the rates and fees are reasonable and the service, both on the phone and in person, is exceptional. Like with all banks I would say do your research, and if Westpac is right for you, go for it! It's right for me.
Westpac value their customers and provide support, listening and engagement, feedback and security.
I've been with Westpac since the 90s and they used to be a fairer and decent back with good customer service. These days the customer service is mostly outsourced to another country which makes not difficult to have someone understand when questions need to be answered or when support is required. Their communication has become appalling, not providing updates to key information such as suspicious transactions made on personal accounts or they flag normal activity as suspicious and causing accounts not only with myself but others to be put on hold. They have got some decent savings account which I have two with Westpac. But their annual fees are quite expensive. Interest rates could be more competitive given the increasing cost of living. Security with Westpac's app and emails are good and educational to keep people aware of any fraud emails that may float about. But that is far as it goes with communication with them. They definitely need to improve with their customer service, keep customers in the loop via app, email, text or phone calls if something happens to one's account. They should offer better interest rates, zero fees and more flexible options for all working class Aussies.
They are a very well known and highly numbered in members big banks in Australia. They are the main banks that most Australian businesses uses in terms of business finance management. The Westpac bank also has the reputation of safely ensuring their customers information MD personal details are not jeopardize from fraudulent activity and are very efficient in delivering the best customer service and confidence in banking with one of the four major big banks that this country is proud to be a part of.... So Am I in the sense of highly recommending this particular bank- WESTPAC AUSTRALIA BANK™ to all of my family and friends. I have the utmost respect and Trust that this bank and it's services in their resource of handling Ur savings, investments and further financial services & features provided which separates them fr the rest.
