COMPANY OVERVIEW
Website: https://www.bankwest.com.au/personal/home-loans
ABN: 22050494454
Founded: 1895
Regulator: AFSL 236872
Vertical: au-banks

OVERALL RATING: 4.0 / 5
Based on 0 detailed reviewer perspectives.

CBA backing with simpler product line. Worth comparing against parent CBA offerings.

PROS
1. Simpler product line than CBA — fewer fees, fewer packages to model

CONS
1. Branch footprint outside WA is thin and being progressively wound down

KEY TAKEAWAYS
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.
