Bankwest Is Now Part Of Australia’S Biggest Bank Atm Network

Bankwest is Now Part of Australia’s Biggest Bank ATM Network.

Bankwest customers now have access to the nation’s biggest bank ATM network with 4,000 machines across Australia.

In a further benefit of its acquisition by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), Jon Sutton said Bankwest customers will be able to use the CBA’s 3,300 ATMs without being charged ATM fees. Likewise, CBA customers will be able to use Bankwest’s 700-plus cash machines nationally.

Meanwhile, Bankwest is currently determining pricing for Direct Charging and Foreign ATM usage and will advise customers as soon as a decision is made.

In announcing the expanded network, which comes into effect on 1 March 2009, Mr Sutton said the added convenience of the additional 3,300 Commonwealth Bank Australia ATMs means customers have greater choice and more ways to avoid paying Direct Charge fees that will be introduced on March 3 across industry at the request of the Reserve Bank of Australia.

“This is fantastic news for Bankwest customers and gives them access to more than five times the number of ATMs than they previously had access to,” Mr Sutton said.

“In addition, our customers can still use Bankwest ATMs located in 7/11 stores without incurring any additional fees,” he said.
