Westpac Group is one of Australia's four major banks, offering retail and business banking and financial services to over 13 million customers across Australia and New Zealand. Founded in 1817 as the Bank of New South Wales, it is Australia's oldest bank and oldest company, rebranding as Westpac Banking Corporation in 1982.
The group's core products and services span four main areas:
- Everyday banking: Transactional and day-to-day banking services for personal customers.
- Home loans: Mortgage and home lending products, including offerings for first-home buyers.
- Business solutions: Banking and financial products designed to support business customers and their growth.
- Wealth management: Products and advice covering saving, investing, and retirement planning.
At the scale Westpac operates, technology sits at the centre of how the bank serves millions of customers daily - across digital platforms, core banking infrastructure, payments systems, and data. Engineers and technologists at Westpac work within one of the more complex financial services environments in the Asia-Pacific region, where the stakes of reliability, security, and regulatory compliance are high.
