Westpac Group

From rescue helicopters to signing the Equator Principles, from paying super during parental leave to adding 'Touch ID'​ biometric technology to our banking apps and being first on the scene with a helping hand in times of crisis... we have a proud history of stepping up to be first for our customers, communities and people. As Australia's first bank and Australia's first company we put service at the heart of everything we do and our people are our priority. We've grown up as a company and expanded both in Australia and throughout Asia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Now we are made up of your favourite financial institution names including Westpac, BankSA, St.George Bank, BT Financial Group, RAMs and Bank of Melbourne, a change of job doesn't mean a change of employer at Westpac Group. We've made a commitment to put our customers first in everything we do; we're calling it the Service Revolution. This means creating fundamentally superior customer experiences for each customer, every time. We promise that when you meet with someone from Westpac Group, you'll be touched by their genuine dedication to helping our customers prosper and grow. Westpac Group acknowledges the traditional owners as the custodians of this land, recognising their connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to Australia's First Peoples, and to their Elders, past, present and future.
