What our digital future means for you

We’re evolving into a digital bank. As a result, we’ve made the decision to close our branch network in 2024.

We’ll keep you updated here on changes happening with our branches.

Becoming a national digital bank

For 129 years, we’ve thought differently about how we service our customers and have proudly called WA home. We’re continuing this legacy.

Now, we're investing in becoming a digital bank by delivering simple products and new digital experiences, nationwide.

Many customers are already banking digitally

It’s important that we invest in areas which benefit our customers and we’ve seen that the majority of customers are preferring to bank digitally.^

97% of all Bankwest transactions now completed digitally.

Fewer than 2% of customers are visiting a branch regularly.

WA branches average about 30 transactions per day, and in regional WA this halves to 15.

Branches are closing

After careful consideration, we’ve made the decision to close the Bankwest branch network by October 2024, with 15 regional branches converting to CommBank branches. We intend to complete these conversions by the end of 2024.

As a result, all Bankwest ATMs will also be closing. We no longer operate off-premises ATMs, which means that machines will no longer be maintained following individual branch closures.

We recognise this may be difficult news if you or your loved ones bank in branch, or if you feel reassured knowing a branch is nearby. We’re committed to supporting you through this change.

This change enables us to invest in the digital channels the majority of our customers are increasingly choosing to do their banking with us.

FAQs

If you have a specific query you need answered, we’ve likely answered it here. From how to access cash, to account management and support options available for customers in vulnerable situations.

Support for customers who use branches

Regional branches converting to CommBank

15 regional Bankwest branches will convert to CommBank branches to help ensure rural and regional areas have access to branch services.

There will be no changes to Bankwest customer accounts. We’re working with CommBank to simplify customer transitions if this option is right for them.

Community Banking Workshops

To help you learn more about managing your banking in new ways, like online and at Bank@Post, you can join a local Community Banking Workshop.

Register your interest

Bankwest Community Bankers

Bankwest colleagues will be available after closures, in some communities, to help support customers as they transition to alternative ways to bank.

Branch closure information

You’ll find all up-to-date information here and we’ll be providing notice to branch users as individual branches close.
