Westpac Bank Tasmania operate 12 branches around the island. Four in and around the area of Hobart, with most of the others further north.
One of the oldest banks we have listed for Tasmania, is Westpac. Established way back in 1817 in Sydney, they were origingally known as the Bank of New South Wales (BNSW).
From there, branches were opened across all the others states of Australia, including Tasmania which saw it’s first operational branch opened in 1910.
Only in 1982, did BNSW merge with the Commercial Bank of Australia to form the Western Pacific Banking Corporation. Western Pacific, hence Westpac.
More recently in 2000, Westpac launced the Hobart-based Air Rescue Helicopter. The service is available to anyone wo finds themselves in dangerous or life-threatening situations.
Worldwide, Westpac has 1,429 branches and 3,850 ATM across the globe. Revenue was a massive $21.64 billion for 2015, with total assets sitting at $812.15 billion. Numbers hard to comprehend.
