What is a BSB number?

A Bank State Branch (BSB) number is a numerical code that identifies an individual branch of a financial institution within Australia. This six digit number plus your account number is what we use to identify your account.

The BSB number is made up of three parts:

AAB-CCC

The first two numbers (AA) specify the financial institution.
The third number (B) indicates the state where the branch is located.
The last three numbers (CCC) are the unique identifier for a branch.
 

Financial Institution Codes

01 ANZ Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd
03 or 73 WBC Westpac Banking Corporation
06 or 76 CBA Commonwealth Bank of Australia
08 or 78 NAB National Australia Bank

State Codes
Code State

3 Victoria
4 Queensland
5 South Australia & Northern Territory

7 Tasmania

Therefore, the BSB number for the Bankwest store in Albany, Western Australia (which has the identifying number 001), would be 306-001.

AA = 30 (Bankwest)
B = 6 (WA)
CCC = 001 (Albany)

How can I find my BSB number?

At Bankwest, the BSB number forms the first six digits of your account number. i.e. 306-001 1234567. You can therefore find your BSB number by checking out the account number printed on your statements, or by logging on to Bankwest Online Banking.

If you know the store your account was opened at, you can search for that store’s BSB number using our Locator. The BSB number is listed in the details for the store.
