Numerous bank branches are located throughout Western Australia. Visit your bank’s website to find a branch and their opening hours. You can also set up internet banking so that you can do your banking from home or work.
Automatic teller machines (ATMs) are located throughout the metropolitan and regional areas and are usually available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Most ATMs will accept cards from different banks, although they will often charge a fee.
Most banks are connected to the Maestro or Cirrus networks, allowing international visitors to access funds. To find out if you can access your money through ATMs in Australia, check with your bank.
