What is the highest paying term deposit for 2 months in W.A.
Hi Frances,
Thanks for your question.
While we do not have a dedicated term deposit rates comparison page for WA, you may use our term deposit page. You should find a comparison table on that page that lists the term deposit accounts along with their corresponding interest rates.
Please read through the terms, conditions, and features of the account you’re interested in before making a final decision.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,

I have Westpac bank Choice account and Esaver account. And I have issued the debit MasterCard . When I want to use I have to press credit instead of savings. Why it is like this? I do not understand, it is not credit card but still I have to press credit. And I have faced some problems like I can not with draw money in shops. Please let me what can I do about this.
Thanks
Hi Vemanna,
Thanks for the query.
Pressing “credit” makes the purchase go through as a credit transaction, which gives it additional fraud protection compared to a regular transaction would. If you can’t withdraw money from the “credit” option, you can try using the “savings” option. Remember to check if you have sufficient funds to complete the transaction.
I hope this helps,
Harry
Can I use smart ATM to deposit cash in to my imb account and funds be available immediately? Urgent. Thanks
Hi Ben,
Thanks for your question.
Unfortunately Westpac SmartATMs can only facilitate deposits straight into Westpac accounts. You may want to consider using Bank@Post instead.
Cheers,
