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 by popping 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 Customer Identification Check for Personal Accounts Form (PDF, 492KB) and take it down to your local Australian Post Bank@Post outlet along with your 100 points of ID.
