Ratings and reviews

Slow app. Don't download. I regularly get the spinning wheel of death when changing between screens and sometimes it's quicker just to go back out of the app close it come back in and then pick the original screen that I wanted rather than waiting for the change. I tried opening an account via the app and found it to be unhelpful so ended up having to go online and do it anyway. That kind of defeats the purpose of the app in the first place.

Useless app. Pending transactions are not correct then, available Bal is misleading. Says there is $ to spend then days old transaction not included as a pending transaction in the available balance, comes through. Then charged fee for neg Bal. Left bank west years ago because of this problem. Thought it would be fixed by now. Nope. Time to close accounts, they can't get a basic thing like available balance right. Never had an issue like this with any other financial institution. Pathetic!

Really easy to use. Does everything you need to do, keeps me informed of payments and account balances. Update 2024 - now that Bankwest is becoming fully digital, it is now time to add further functionality to the app, such as, 2 Factor Authentication. 2FA is now a common security in many financial institutions apps, but Bankwest does not yet have this.
