Westpac Ends Agency Banking Services

 

Westpac have made the decision to end their agency banking services with smaller financial institutions, including Coastline.  This means that our customers can no longer use Westpac affiliated deposit banking services.

Deposit services affiliated with Westpac will begin to change from the 31st January 2021.

What are my options?

Internet Banking & MyCOAST

The easiest and quickest way to move your money is via electronic transfer using Internet Banking or the MyCOAST Mobile Banking App.

Bank@Post

From 1st February 2021, Coastline members can utilise Australia Post’s Bank@Post service.

At participating Post Offices, you can deposit cash and cheques into your Coastline account. Be sure to take your barcoded Bank@Post deposit book with you to complete these transactions.

From 31st January 2021 only cheque books containing BSB 704 189 will be processed.
