How the Finder Score helps you find a better savings account
The Finder Score is a simple score out of 10. The higher a savings account's score, the better we think it is for the average customer.
We score each savings account in our database of hundreds based on a data-driven methodology with 2 main criteria: Does the account offer a high interest rate? And is it easy for savers to actually earn that rate?

How we picked these
Finder Score for term deposits
Finder Score assigns Term Deposit products a score out of 10, comparing interest rates and features, to make comparison easier. We assess over 150 products from more than 90 providers, assessing products across different terms to determine an average score per product.
Market-leading savings rate. The Westpac Life savings account offers one of the most competitive savings rates in the market for customers under 30.
Large ATM network. You can access over 3,000 Westpac Group ATMs Australia wide, as well as over 50,000 ATMs around the world.
Multiple account options. Westpac has bank account options for personal customers, business customers, students, over 55s and migrants.
Large branch network. Being one of the biggest banks in Australia, Westpac has lots of bank branches available and these aren't limited to one particular state.
Cons
Account keeping fees. The Westpac Choice account has a monthly account keeping fee that's only waived if you're under 21, a student or if you meet the monthly deposit conditions.
Interest rates less competitive. The savings rates offered for customers over 30 are less competitive than many other accounts in the market.
How to apply for a Westpac savings account
Applying online for a new bank account is fast and easy. You'll need identity documents such as your driving licence or passport. For more about the process, check out our full guide to opening an account online.
What is the Westpac group Global ATM alliance?
If you're a Westpac customer, you can save money on ATM fees when travelling overseas through the bank's international ATM alliance. Westpac is partnered with major international banks and waives the fee for overseas ATM withdrawals at thousands of partner ATMs.
If you have an eligible card issued by a member of the Westpac Group such as travel or EFTPOS card, you won't pay any international ATM fees when you make a withdrawal from a Westpac international ATM alliance partner. A 3% foreign transaction fee applies when using a debit or credit card.

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,
Liezl

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

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.
Earn a market-leading bonus interest rate if you're under 30, and when you meet the account conditions. Learn more about the Westpac Life account and apply online.
Westpac Choice offers you a unique way to save money on mortgage interest while encouraging you to make deposits by offering fee-free banking as an incentive.
While a Westpac term deposit gives you the certainty of earning a fixed interest rate as per your chosen term, so do term deposits offered by other banks. Make sure you compare a few before deciding.
Westpac makes it easy to save with an online account that pays you a competitive interest rate with no monthly fees.
Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
