- Founded: 1817
- Regulator licence: AFSL 233714
- Vertical: au-banks

## Overall Rating: 4.0 / 5

Based on 0 detailed reviewer perspectives.

Mature offering with solid app, but bonus rate conditions are stricter than category leaders.

## Pros
- Mature digital banking experience for a Big Four

## Cons
- Balance-growth bonus condition penalises any withdrawal that reduces month-end balance

## Key Takeaways
### 1. Balance-growth bonus condition

To earn the bonus rate, your end-of-month balance must be higher than the start of the month. Effectively a 1-month no-withdrawal rule for the bonus tier.

### 2. Spend & Save program for under-30s

Customers aged 18-29 get an additional rate uplift when they make 5+ eligible transactions per month with a linked Westpac Choice account.

### 3. AFSL 233714 — Westpac Banking Corporation

Australia's first bank, established 1817 as the Bank of New South Wales. APRA-regulated, FCS-protected.
