Set up Easy Alerts
Set up Easy Alerts and payment reminders if you haven't already.
If you set up Easy Alerts on our app, we’ll send a push notification to your phone to keep you in the loop with your account activity, including your credit card. You’ll be able to get a notification when your minimum repayment’s due, which could help you remember to make your payments on time.
In the app, all you need to do is switch Easy Alerts on in the main menu and choose the notifications you want to get. Find out more about Easy Alerts.
Think of it like an email notification. Whenever a new eStatement is available, we'll send you an email to let you know. You can then view your statement and get ready to make your payment.
You can message us in the Bankwest App or online banking, or call us – we're here 24/7.
