Our History

Much of Australia’s strength derives from its cultural diversity. And when the nation’s first wave of migrants needed banking services back in 1817, they turned to Australia’s first bank: Westpac.

And we’ve been assisting migrants from every corner of the globe make this country their home ever since.
