To save you time, here’s a checklist of what you’ll need to apply:

Identification details for new customers

If you’re brand new to Bankwest, welcome! Once your application is approved, we’ll need to confirm who you are, so pop into your nearest Bankwest store with an original or certified copy of your choice of the following:

one form of primary ID with a photo (i.e. passport or driver’s license) or
one form of primary ID without a photo (i.e. birth certificate or Citizenship papers), plus one form of secondary ID (i.e. a utility bill)

To see what else you can use as ID documents, check out our simple guidelines.

Not near a Bankwest store? No worries! Print out our identification form (PDF, 341KB) and take it down to your local Australia Post Bank@Post outlet along with your ID.

Details for new and existing customers

Whether a new or an existing customer, you may also need to provide us with additional information, such as:

your two latest original pay slips displaying your employer's name (must not be hand written) or last year's group certificate or tax return
if you are self employed, we will need your financial statements with tax returns for the last two years
confirmation of other income or expenses (trust income, Centrelink benefits, Family Law Court agreements etc)
details of your monthly expenses (e.g. utility bills, credit card statements, hire purchase agreements)
details of any loans you have that are not with Bankwest
