A little bit goes a long way

Start growing your savings from the moment you make your first deposit
Sign in to transfer

It’s easy to get your savings started. Here’s how:

Start with a transfer from another Westpac account

You can transfer money from another Westpac account in Online Banking or with our mobile banking app. You can also set up a regular deposit straight into your savings account, to make sure you don’t miss out on bonus interest^ each month.

Start with a transfer from another bank

You can deposit money directly into your Westpac Life savings account from another Australian bank. All you’ll need is your Westpac Life account name, BSB and account number.

Finding your account details

  • You can find your account name in your Online Banking dashboard (this is the name you used to open your account)
  • Your BSB is the first 6 numbers on your account tile
  • Your account number is the remaining numbers in the tile.
