    Any age minimum? I know a primary school kid that wants to open a bank account.

      Westpac Choice for full-time tertiary (postsecondary) students

    • aileron on 07/02/2018 - 02:27

      The how-it-works page says 12 years or older to open one of these accounts.

    • LXE3 on 07/02/2018 - 06:47

      I think the first link says any student. I’m going to open one for my daughter in prep.

    Is their identification require a bank visit, or online?

    Bank visit isn’t worth the money….

    • [Deactivated] on 07/02/2018 - 01:34

      Online should be fine, unless they can’t verify you or have no records of you under a credit agency I assume, which means a bank branch visit

    • Ryk on 06/03/2018 - 21:07

      bank visit, student/kids IDs don't seem to verify online.

      • Ryk on 18/03/2018 - 13:40

        Bank visit is clunky.
        forms, forms, forms. Does westpac realise it's 2018 yet?
        account opening form.
        link account to card form, seriously! how else is it going to get used.
        third party access form, furk.

    So what if I open the account, meet the requirements to get the $50, and then once I receive it, decide to close the account, what fee's or charges or anything is there stopping me from doing so?

      No, except giving up your time

      The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) is your key to fantastic discounts and services in Australia and around the world. It really is the ultimate student lifestyle card.

      The ISIC card is the biggest internationally-recognised student ID. There are over 150,000 benefits in 130+ countries waiting for you. In addition to that, the ISIC gives you official proof of student status all around the world.

  • benny79 on 07/02/2018 - 13:30

    How long do I need to leave the $250 in before I put it back in my account and give my daughter her card?

    Nice deal but OMG Westpac and StGeorge's online banking system is so last decade.
    The App is slow and they still make you use mouseclicks to enter netbanking pw on their desktop site.

    • realfancyman on 07/02/2018 - 23:51

      Yep, hands down the worst internet banking Ive ever used. A lot of banks could take tips from Macquarie, easily the best internet banking.

        +1 Using Westpac for my business banking is one of the 2 only regrets I have in my life.
        Until a couple of years ago, they only gave you 6 months worth of statements! The customer service in-branch is also the worst!

  • realfancyman on 07/02/2018 - 23:55

    Maybe highlight the up to 55 days to get the $50?

  • hotdog679 on 08/02/2018 - 22:21

    How do we get the ISIC card? I've deposited my $250.

  • kelea on 13/02/2018 - 22:11

    Anyone know if you need to keep the $250 in the account until the $50 is received? Or can I withdraw it before then? T&C doesn't say it needs to stay in there but other comments above suggests you need to keep the money in there for 56 days?

  • ryzie on 01/03/2018 - 11:56

    I’m over 21, how would they know if I’m a local tertiary full time student? There wasn’t anything related to my student status in the sign up process

    • pifts on 01/03/2018 - 19:12

      Take your ID and visit a branch to verify.

    has anyone actually got the 50 dollars yet?

  • [Deactivated] on 19/03/2018 - 13:11

    how do you get the student card thing? did you guys leave the $250 in there till the $50 arrived? anyone got the $50 by now?

    • chichi on 23/03/2018 - 09:48

      No $50 for us yet. I am leaving the $250 in the accounts until the $50 turns up.

      This is the first account I've opened that hasn't automatically sent out a card. I was wondering why we hadn't received anything so rang them and was told you have to apply for a card. They wouldn't do it over the phone so back down to the damn branch for us. The things you do for $50.

      • benny79 on 28/03/2018 - 13:05

        IKR I had the same issue, couldn't believe they didn't mention it when I took my daughter in to present her ID!

    • stickyfingers on 01/04/2018 - 19:36

      I got the student card through the link in the internet banking. It sent me over to the website to apply.

  • stickyfingers on 02/04/2018 - 18:45

    55 days for me today. Still no bonus.

    55 days today, no bonus too. has anyone received theirs?

    • huertano on 03/04/2018 - 20:59

      Got another 9 days to go. Was your deposit in there 55 days from today? Or just account opened?

      • tobi3421 on 03/04/2018 - 21:17

        55 days from account opening. I've gone into a branch to verify ID and also deposited the $250

        • huertano on 05/04/2018 - 12:16

          Any luck? I have a feeling Westpac might just … forget about their deal

        • stickyfingers on 05/04/2018 - 12:52

          @ejayt: just like that St. George student offer a few years ago…

          @ejayt:

          i called them up. i was told that after the 45 days, itll take up to 30 days to receive the money. seems like a load of crap considering it does say within 55 days of opening account

        • stickyfingers on 05/04/2018 - 13:20

          @tobi3421: gotta keep that interest

        • tobi3421 on 05/04/2018 - 14:28

          @stickyfingers:

          Was also told that you can withdraw your $250 deposit so i've taken that out already

  • Warmachine99 on 06/04/2018 - 12:31

    • stickyfingers on 06/04/2018 - 13:20

    • tobi3421 on 07/04/2018 - 00:50

      Got it too, transferred the $50 out already

  • summerz on 12/04/2018 - 13:09
