Startups
Our Bankwest people are passionate about putting customers at the heart of everything we do.
We’re dedicated to delivering brilliant customer experiences every day and we’re always looking at how we can do more for our customers, to remove the BS (Bank Stuff) and ask less of them.
We were founded in 1895 on Noongar Country and we’ve been part of the fabric of WA for more than 125 years, with Bankwest locations spanning 29 Aboriginal peoples’ lands and 11 nations.
We stand for simplicity and transparency, brilliant service, and great value, and we work hard to make banking easier for customers, through self-empowering tools and honest human-to-human support, backed by the best technology, when they need us.
Supporting the communities in which we live and work is part of our DNA, and we’re committed to being there for our customers when they need us the most, particularly vulnerable customers, with safety and security, guidance and support, be that through direct assistance, advocacy, volunteering, or sharing critical insights on financial wellbeing.
