Common questions.

Interest is calculated based on your account balance. Different interest rates apply to different balance ranges. Higher balance ranges earn higher interest rates. Interest is calculated daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.

You are eligible if you are aged 55 years or over. If applying for a joint account, at least one applicant must meet this age requirement.

If you’re already a Bankwest customer, you may be able to open a joint account in the app by choosing the account you’d like and selecting the ‘two of us’ option.

You’ll need to already have joint Bankwest account(s) with the other applicant, or both applicants must not have any other existing Bankwest joint accounts.

With a joint transaction or savings account, both people will have full access to the account and the money in it unless the account has multiple signatory instructions.

You'll receive your physical card within 10 business days. Your digital card will appear in the app straight away. Add your card to your digital wallet, then spend instantly with Apple, Google or Samsung Pay.
