Set up your Australian banking with Westpac before you arrive.
Moving to a new country could be one of the biggest and most exciting decisions you'll ever make, for you, your family or your business. And it won't be without some challenges either, both emotional and financial.
As Australia's First Bank, we have almost 200 years experience helping migrants create a new life in Australia, making us one of the largest, oldest and most reputable financial institutions in Australia. Through Westpac you can:
- Open your new Westpac bank accounts through a simple online form
- When you have received your account details, you can start transferring your money to it before you arrive in Australia
- Access our vast network of banking specialists who can speak your language, branches, ATMs (cash machines) as well as online, telephone and mobile banking.
We also have international reach and cross-cultural experience, through our local Westpac teams in the United Kingdom, China, Hong Kong, New Zealand, India, Singapore, Indonesia and in the Pacific Islands.
Please note: Westpac Australia is currently working to enable customers located in New Zealand to open accounts before they arrive in Australia. However, we regret to advise that we are not able to do this at the moment. We are able to provide you information on our accounts and services prior to your arrival in Australia and are happy to assist you with opening these once you arrive.
For more information, visit our Moving to Australia website, designed especially for migrants, or contact us to discuss your specific situation.
