Westpac Car Loans

Finance your next new or used car purchase with a loan from Australia's first bank.

Westpac

Westpac was started in 1817 and it was the first bank to be established in Australia. Its first office was set up in Sydney, but it has now expanded both within Australia and beyond. The group offers products with the aim of assisting customers to save and invest.

Westpac also extends financing to individuals, institutions, multinational corporations and even government agencies. Car loans fall under their personal loans division, and these can help you get the amounts you need to purchase your next new or used car.
