Organise your Australian bank accounts

Moving to Australia can bring many challenges and expenses. It's important to have access to your money anywhere, anytime once you arrive in Australia, so you can successfully complete your move.  

If you want to open a bank account in Australia for everyday transactions Westpac Choice could be right for you. The $5 monthly service fee will be waived if your minimum deposits are to the value of $2,000 within the month. 1

To save and earn interest at the same time you can open a Westpac eSaver, an online savings account, and link it to your Westpac Choice account so you can access your savings anytime. 2

Once you are set up with these 2 accounts you will be ready to successfully manage your money in Australia.
