Westpac is Australia's first bank and first company. We have 191 years' experience helping our customers to achieve their financial goals through good times and bad.

With a strategic focus on Australia, New Zealand and the near Pacific, the Westpac Group provides a broad range of banking and financial services – including retail, business and institutional banking. We also have offices in key financial centres around the world including London, New York, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Westpac has a strong track record in terms of financial performance. Over the past 10 years we have delivered consistent growth and are one of only 17 banks globally with a credit rating of "AA" or higher.

Our recent transformational merger with St.George, in December 2008, created a larger, more diverse and even stronger financial services company – well positioned to meet the challenges of the current global environment.
