Iconic West Australian Images to Feature on BankWest's New Instant Saver ATM Card

24 April 2007

BankWest photo competition winners announced

Four winners have been chosen in the BankWest Instant Saver photography competition.

The winners are:

  • Ross Websdale of South Perth for his photo of the Busselton Jetty.
  • Simon Simson of Canning Vale for his photo of the Pinnacles in Nambung National Park.
  • Geoff Johns of Kununurra for his photo of King George Falls in the Kimberley.
  • Johathon Ong of Murdoch for his photo of nature's window in Kalbarri National Park.

Each winner receives $500 in a BankWest Instant Saver account as well as having their winning photo displayed on BankWest's new Instant Saver ATM card which will be used by thousands of BankWest customers.

BankWest's Head of Marketing and Products David Rose said the photos add a distinctly West Australian feel to the bank's newest product. 

"BankWest's new Instant Saver account is primarily sold through our branch network, the majority of which is found in Western Australia. This is why we have chosen images of the state to display on the card," he said.

"We've introduced this product to encourage West Australians to save and earn up to 475 times more than their everyday savings account with an interest rate of 4.75 per cent and no hidden catches."

BankWest's Instant Saver account comes with an access card with eight different designs using photos of Western Australian taken by the winners of a BankWest staff photo competition and the winners of the customer competition.
