Important information for our customers (August 2025)
We’re making changes to simplify our fee structure
From 1 August 2025, existing customers who have a BPAY, BankRec and/or iLink facility may see some changes to fees charged.
Changes are summarised below and will be reflected in customers' Tax Invoice/Billing Statement (“Statement”) from 1 September 2025*.
*This notice replaces information previously disclosed in customers’ agreements with Westpac prior to 1 August 2025. Some changes may not impact specific customers, where a particular fee has not been quoted to them previously. All other fees remain as previously agreed with Westpac. If there are any other further changes, we will advise customers directly in writing.
We’re consolidating and renaming some fees
