Here’s what to do

To open a Westpac personal bank account, you’ll need to provide us with a signed and completed Personal Account Opening Form (PDF 533KB), along with a Westpac referee form and any other current identification documents.

We are required to verify your:

1. Full name
2. Date of birth
3. Residential address
4. Occupation
5. Signature
6. Citizenship
7. TIN
8. Income source

If you do not have a national ID card and birth certificate or passport, and are a PNG resident and/or PNG citizen, you can use a Westpac referee to verify your details.

Download the Opening a Personal Bank Account Brochure (PDF 164KB) for how to use a Westpac referee or how to be a Westpac referee.
