The Great Deposit Showdown: Bank of Melbourne vs. Westpac
In the past, attempting a cross-brand deposit was like trying to use your grandma's chunky square key in your fancy new keyless car - no dice. But fret no more! Since September 2023, the good folks at Westpac have rolled out the welcome mat for their banking buddies from Bank of Melbourne (along with St. George and BankSA). This means you, yes YOU, the magnificent Bank of Melbourne maestro, can now strut into a Westpac branch and deposit that hard-earned cash (or that fifty-dollar bill you found shoved in your winter coat) with ease.
Hold on a sec, are there any limitations?
Well, put on your detective hat because there might be a slight case depending on how you choose to deposit your moolah:
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.
- Cash deposits at the counter: No worries, this is a smooth sailing operation - waltz right up and tell the friendly Westpac teller you're a Bank of Melbourne account holder.
- Deposits via fancy ATM machines: Here's where things get interesting. Westpac ATMs accept deposits from their own customers and those from St. George and BankSA, but be warned, not all Westpac ATMs are created equal. Some Westpac ATMs accept deposits from Bank of Melbourne accounts, but not all. Best to check with your Bank of Melbourne app or give them a buzz to find a Westpac ATM that recognizes your financial flair.
But what about cheques? niestety (that's 'unfortunately' in Polish, for our multilingual money managers) you can't deposit cheques at Westpac ATMs (regardless of your bank affiliation). You'll need to stick to a Bank of Melbourne branch or ATM for those.
So, Can My Bank of Melbourne Buddy Become a Westpac Deposit Darling?
Absolutely! Just remember, for ATMs, it's a case-by-case basis. Check with your bank or the ATM itself before you get there.
Important side note: This newfound deposit freedom applies across Australia, so you can be a depositing daredevil no matter where your travels take you (within the country, that is).
