Here’s what to do.

To open a Westpac personal bank account, you’ll need to provide us with a signed and completed personal account opening form, along with some current identification documents.

We need to verify the following:

1. Full name
2. Date of birth
3. Residential address
4. Occupation
5. Photo identification and signature
6. Citizenship
7. Income source documentation

To ensure these 7 points above are verified, we need at least two primary ID documents or one primary plus two secondary ID documents. All documents must be original and current unless specified. If additional documents are required, we’ll let you know.
