1. Bankwest is winding down East Coast branches
CBA has been consolidating Bankwest branches outside WA. For East Coast customers, the digital experience is the relevant comparison; not the branch.
2. Less package complexity
Unlike CommBank Wealth Package, Bankwest Easy keeps the product simple — no monthly fee, no offset bundling. Cheaper headline structure for owner-occupier P&I.
3. AFSL 236872 — Bankwest
Subsidiary of Commonwealth Bank of Australia. APRA-regulated ADI.
Pros
- + Simpler product line than CBA — fewer fees, fewer packages to model
Cons
- − Branch footprint outside WA is thin and being progressively wound down
