In the app
If you're already a Bankwest customer, you may be able to open a joint account in the app by choosing the account you'd like and selecting the 'two of us' option. Keep in mind this is only available for the following accounts:
- Easy Transaction Accounts
- Retirement Advantage Accounts
- Hero Savers
- Offset Accounts.
Over the phone
If you have an existing joint account with us, you can apply for another joint account over the phone – call us on 13 17 19.
In person
If you don't have an existing account, you'll both need to visit us at your nearest branch so we can identify you in person (WA only). You don't have to come in at the same time or to the same branch – we can work around you. Here's what you'll need to bring with you.
How do joint accounts work?
With a joint transaction or savings account, both people will have full access to the account and the money in it.
When you set it up, you can determine whether you want just one or both parties to authorise things like transfers, withdrawals and closing the account.
