Hi Michael,
Thank you for getting in touch with finder.
Westpac eSaver is a personal savings account so if you want to apply for a savings account under a business name then you have to choose from their business savings accounts like Westpac Business Cash Reserve.
I hope this helps.
Have a great day!
Cheers,
Jeni

Hi, I moved Australia about two years ago.
I still have a good amount of money on my westpac E-saver. But through the years my choice account is blocked or deleted. So the money on the esaver is frozen ( i cant send it to my other banks)
The bank account is also linked to my australian number which is not in use anymore.
Hopefully there is a solution. kind regards

Hi Eric,
Thank you for your inquiry.
While we do not represent any company that we feature on our pages, we can offer you a general information.
If you are able to meet all of these eligibility requirements, then prepare the following documentation and proceed to the secure application page. Having this information close by will ensure that you are able to complete the application accurately and quickly:
1. Identification documents. Westpac is required to verify the identity of any online applicant electronically. This can be done with information from your driver’s licence or passport. If not, you may be asked to visit a local branch to complete the identification verification.
2. Choice transaction account details. In order to get the full benefit of the eSaver account, it needs to be linked to a Choice transaction account from 3. Westpac. You can give them the account details when you apply, or if you don’t already have one you may apply for the account at the same time.
Personal information. Westpac is also going to need to know some of your personal details, such as your full name, date of birth and physical address.
I hope this information has helped.
Cheers,
Harold

Hi, can I deposit a personal cheque into a Westpac esaver account? I can’t find the answer to this question anywhere. Also what do I have to do if I need to transfer more than the pay anyone limit (eg, $30,000) to another person’s account?

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your question.
Cheque access is not available for this account. You have to deposit the personal cheque in your linked Westpac Choice account then move the funds to your eSaver account.
If want to transfer funds through online banking more than your daily payment limit, you can call the bank and request them to amend the limit. The bank will then notify you of the maximum limits available and you’ll need to register for a security device. I’ve sent to your email the PDS for ease of reference.
I hope this has helped.
Cheers,
Liezl

Hi
I have given someone my e account details to transfer money into it, is this ok or do I have to use my savings account for transfer transactions ?
Harold Jacob Finder

Hi Linda,
Thank you for your inquiry.
By using the transfer funds option in online banking, you may transfer funds between the eligible Westpac accounts that are accessible through online banking. The account balances and transactions lists will be updated straight away, except credit cards and transfers to a foreign currency account made after the payment cut-off time where the transactions list will not update until the following business day. Please ensure to read through the relevant product disclosure statement and terms and conditions to ensure that you got everything covered on your transactions.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Harold
