Ratings and reviews

Some information is not being displayed in the App, particularly easy instalment plans. I have contacted tech support and they cannot fix it. I was advised to use a computer rather than the app. *I have tried three times messaging through the app, without success. *Who on Facebook should I contact? Do you have an email address that I can contact rather than Facebook?

It's not a great app for a major bank. Expected more from bankwest. Cheers, Jez. I think an expense tracker would be a great addition. Also, a customisable app to make online banking more simple or more detailed. It think this would help everyone from young adult to elderly.

As it seems this app does not work on ipads and fold mobiles as per discussions with Bankwest phone support. Later I discovered if I jeep my phone folded and use the small front screen the app works as it should. But according to Bankwest it should not work on fold phones and ipads at all. Go figure.
