How to log in for the first time.

Read time 2 min
If it’s your first time logging into the app or online banking, you’ll need to use your Personal Access Number (PAN) and either a password or a 4-digit PIN.

What you’ll need to log in

You can start banking with us anytime using the Bankwest App or Bankwest Online Banking.

Here’s what you’ll need.

1. Personal Access Number (PAN) 

You can find your PAN in the email or letter we sent you after you first opened your account or on your account statements.

2. Password or 4-digit PIN

If you applied online

Use the password you set during your application.

If you applied by any other means (e.g. via broker)

You would've received an SMS with a 4-digit PIN.  When you first log in to the app or online banking, you’ll be prompted to use this.

Once you’ve logged in, you’ll be asked to set up a password to replace the temporary PIN. It’s also a good idea to set up secret questions.
