It’s a little sensation: Up to now you had to be personally on-site in Australia for being able to open an Australian bank-account. Quite often that was a big issue.
But now, for the first time, the account-opening is also possible from outside of Australia – online, easy and free of charge from your home!

Westpac Bank is offering this service especially for expatriats, students and long-term travelers, such as Working-Holiday makers. You can now open your Australian bank-account within a few minutes and free of charge here. Once arrived, you can simply pick up your prepared banking-card in any Westpac branch (see examples below).

Advantages of your new Westpac Account:

• Westpac offers more than 2800 free-of-charge-ATM’s all over Australia
• The account is free for the first 12 months, afterwards it only costs a small fee
• You also have the possibility to open a free savings-account with attractive interest rates
• No minimum-life

The brand-new application-process from your home offers lots of advantages:

• Once arrived in Australia, you don’t have to wait for a long time anymore, so your account is ready for use much faster.
• Prior to arrival, you already get your account-number, which you can use from now on!
• No Australian address needed for the application
• You can transfer money to your bank-account even before you’ve arrived in Australia
• The online-application-service is free of charge
• Application is possible as early as 12 months prior to your departure
