Delivering on our service promise

The Westpac Group is committed to providing great service, and our people are dedicated to ensuring we help our customers through life to achieve their financial goals.

You can also contact the external dispute resolution scheme, the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA). Contact details are set out in the ‘Feedback and complaints’ section of our website.
