Frequently asked questions

You could open an Easy Saver if:

  • You're a real person (i.e. not a company)
  • You're aged 16 years or over
  • You don’t have an existing Bankwest Easy Saver Account already
  • You're the only account holder (no joint account holders)
  • You have an Easy Transaction Account (you can open one at the same time).

If you're already a Bankwest customer, you can use the Bankwest App to open a new Easy Transaction Account at the same time as your Easy Saver. Tap ‘Open or browse products’ from your ‘Home’ or ‘More’ screens, choose ‘Easy Saver’ from the ‘Savings accounts’ list and follow the prompts to open your accounts.

If you're not a Bankwest customer, you'll first need to open an Easy Transaction Account using our online application form – find out more.

A linked account is a bank account you can use to access or transfer funds to an interest-earning account. Since interest-earning accounts like Easy Saver don't have debit cards or BPAY® access attached to them, you can only access the money in them by transferring it to your linked account. In this case, the linked bank account is an Easy Transaction Account and the interest-earning account is an Easy Saver.

®Registered to BPAY Pty Ltd ABN 69 079 137 518.

If you have multiple Easy Transaction Accounts, you can choose which one you'd like to link your Easy Saver to – and you can change this at any time.

To change your linked Easy Transaction Account, complete a Change of Linked Account Request Form (PDF) and mail it to us at GPO Box W2072, Perth WA 6846.

You can see the rates applicable to your account at any time via the Bankwest App, online banking or on the Bankwest website.

The Easy Saver variable introductory rate is a higher rate that's on offer to new and existing Easy Saver customers on balances up to $250,000.99 for the first four months. The rate is variable which means this rate could change over time, including during the introductory period. It's only available if you haven't had the introductory rate on an Easy Saver account in the last two years.

After four months your account will revert to the Easy Saver variable rate.

If you close your current Easy Saver account and then open a new one, you won't be eligible for the introductory rate if you've had the Easy Saver variable introductory rate in the past two years.
