Westpac to open three new banking service centres

They will provide face-to-face support for retail and business customers.

Westpac is opening three new banking service centres in New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania.

Westpac will initially establish the centres in Leongatha (VIC) and Smithton (TAS).

The centres will provide face-to-face support for retail and business customers, along with digital banking assistance.

Cash transactions will be provided through Smart ATMs with bankers on hand to assist. Help with other needs such as identity verification, personal and business lending, and fraud and scam support will also be available.

Work is underway to bring the new service centre model, which combines retail and business banking, to a number of additional regional locations, Westpac said in a press release.

Separately, the bank plans to add 150 new business bankers across its regional network over the next three years.
