    Frequently asked questions

    What is a Proof of balance?

    A ‘Proof of balance’ is a statement on Westpac letterhead that shows the date your accounts were opened, your address and your current account balance. It can be used for times when you need bank-issued proof of your accounts. For example, for your insurance company, a personal or business loan application or at tax time.

    A ‘Recent transactions report’ shows your transactions over the last 30, 90 or 120 days. The report (also on Westpac letterhead) is in PDF format to print or download to your desktop.

    • Choose a name to help you distinguish one account from the other
    • You can update the name online, anywhere, any time
    • You’ll be the only person who can see your nickname for an account. Any other Users will see the account name or nickname they have chosen – or the default name.
    • Without group heading - all your accounts grouped together 
    • Grouped by type - all your accounts of the same type grouped together. For example, all transaction accounts or all savings accounts 
    • With custom groups – all your accounts are grouped into categories that you define, i.e business accounts together and all your personal accounts together as one example. You can add a name to personalise each group.
