The Bank@Post service will allow customers to conduct traditional cash withdrawals, coin, cash and cheque deposits, in-store identity checks for new to Westpac customers and account balance enquiries, complementing the existing branch network.
Westpac Retail & Business Banking group executive Jason Yetton said: "Banks continue to see significant take up of digital and online banking, however, some people prefer to undertake face-to-face transactions and this partnership is another way for them to do that, with a guaranteed level of service from an experienced transactional banking provider in Australia Post."
Westpac Customers will not be charged with extra fees to use the Bank@Post service via Australia Post outlets, which are open Monday to Friday with a few open on Saturday.
