Who is Bankwest?
Bankwest is a Perth-born bank owned by the Commonwealth Bank, and since 2024 it has operated as a digital-only bank: it closed its remaining branch network that year, converting some regional Western Australian branches to CBA, after 97% of its transactions had already gone digital.
Freed of branch costs, Bankwest now competes on price and digital service nationally while keeping its Western Australian identity. Its range splits neatly in two: a low-cost Simple Home Loan where offset accounts are paid for one at a time, and the Complete Home Loan Package where an annual fee buys the offsets and waives the per-event fees.
Who suits a Bankwest home loan?
Bankwest tends to suit borrowers comfortable with app and phone banking who want CBA-group backing at sharper-than-big-four pricing, and it remains a strong sentimental pick for Western Australians. Offset users with one account are usually better off on the Simple Home Loan; anyone wanting several offsets tends to land in the Complete package instead. If you need branch access, its parent CBA covers that; if not, compare Bankwest's comparison rate against the digital leaders in the table above.

| Simple Home Loan | Borrowers who want a low-cost variable loan and at most one offset account. | Variable rate with redraw and no application fee. A 100% offset account can be added at $10 a month per account, so the cost scales with the number of offsets. Loan increase fee $295 and progress payment fee $80 per payment. |
| Fixed Rate Home Loan | Owner-occupiers and investors who want repayment certainty. | Offset is capped at 40% of the balance rather than 100%, and redraw is not available during the fixed term. Offset carries no monthly fee while the loan is fixed or inside the Complete package, and $10 a month applies after the fixed term ends. It can be added to the Complete Home Loan Package. |
