Says new arrivals to Australia but no way they can prove it when you open the account online

Open a new Westpac Choice account online or at a branch by 30 September 2024, and make a single deposit of $100 within 10 days of opening#. T&Cs and eligibility criteria apply. New arrivals to Australia aged 18 years or older.

Before you apply

You must be:

In Australia and have an Australian residential address
14 years or over to open online, or you’ll need to go to a branch.

What you'll need
An ID document such as your passport, Medicare card or driver licence (with photo and full name).​

$50 Cashback offer: Fees and charges apply. Read the  Pdf File Deposit Accounts for Personal Customers Terms and Conditions (PDF 625KB) before making a decision and consider whether the product is right for you.

To receive AUD50, you must: open a new Westpac Choice account between 1 May 2024 and 30 September 2024, have never held a transaction account with Westpac before, and make single deposit of AUD100 into the new account within 10 days of account opening

The offer is available for customers who are new to Australia (arrived in the last 12 months) and over 18 years of age. Customers must hold a valid foreign issued identification document in our  Pdf File identification checklist (PDF 657KB). 

For joint accounts, both account holders must not have held a Westpac transaction account before.​ The AUD50 promotion amount will be paid into the customer’s Westpac Choice account within 50 days of meeting these terms and conditions. The Westpac Choice account must remain open during that period to receive the cashback reward. Limited to only one eligible account per eligible customer (including where it is a joint account) and paid to the Westpac Choice account that was opened first. Not available in conjunction with any other offer unless we determine otherwise. We reserve the right to withdraw, amend or extend this offer at any time. We recommend you seek an independent, professional tax advice to determine tax implications on the cashback based on your personal circumstances.

    What if you had an existing account that you closed just last week?

    • easternculture on 01/09/2024 - 15:22

      Pretty sure these offers are for first time accounts, but try your luck and let us know

    Westpac doing a better job than CBA Yello for the billions in profits CBA is making and keeping. Shameful.

    Bank welcome bonuses in Australia are ridiculous. I just opened a Citi account in the US and was rewarded $300 USD just for depositing twice, totaling $1,500, and leaving the money in the account for 30 days.

      Thought it's pretty good in AU until now…

      Are you an American citizen? If not, how do you get a SSN as a visitor?

        I applied in-branch using my Aussie passport and driver's license, they don't require a SSN

        • umoddbro on 01/09/2024 - 17:26

          And if you want to close it you gotta go back in the branch again?

      credit card welcome bonus is much better there as well.

    • sub102 on 01/09/2024 - 18:32

      That is very true their bonuses are usually more than at least US$300 and on occasion more than US$1000 which equates to AU$1500. For $50 bank bonus to be a deal here is ridiculous really

  • HardQuiz on 01/09/2024 - 15:38

    I’m new here, thank you OP.

  • neoleo on 01/09/2024 - 16:29

    I have St. George bank account and it's owned by Westpac. It doesn't matter, right? Never open Westpac account … I got the St. George bank account because of $50 bonus too.

  • caustic birch on 01/09/2024 - 17:02

    This will cover 1/5 of the cost of getting my European passport

    "The offer is available for customers who are new to Australia (arrived in the last 12 months) and over 18 years of age. Customers must hold a valid foreign issued identification document in our Pdf File identification checklist (PDF 657KB)"

    No chance Westpac actually ends up honouring the people who are going to seek to exploit the T&Cs…

    • easternculture on 01/09/2024 - 17:22

      On the linked page it says

      What you'll need
      An ID document such as your passport, Medicare card or driver licence (with photo and full name).​

      any foreigner can get an aussie license

  • umoddbro on 01/09/2024 - 17:36

    Anyone who isn't a new arrival managed to get the $50? 😂

    • lostinsydney on 01/09/2024 - 18:05

      maybe with McLovin ID

    Opened this last night but application still in progress 75%. Selected yes for 'Did you arrive in Australia in the last 12 months?'

    Already have a Westpac business account and was giving an error when trying to open saying No to 'Are you already a Westpac customer?' so I had to sign in. So no ID was asked and as I remember I did not submit a foreign passport for my business account just the drivers license

    Lets see if I get the $50, even if not its worth for the Shopback bonuses as business card doesn't work

    • chrisie on 01/09/2024 - 19:00

      Very interested how if you get it

      New to Australia for 30 years, will also give it a try.

  • test8888 on 01/09/2024 - 19:21

    confused one:
    New arrivals to Australia aged 18 years or older.

    You must be:
    14 years or over to open online, or you’ll need to go to a branch.

    is minimum age 18 or 14?

    • Grey 13 on 01/09/2024 - 19:24

      Hmm I am defo above 18 y/o and just opened an account no drama.
