Wed Sep 25 07:23:25 UTC 2024: ## Bankwest Era Ends in Perth: Final Branch Closes Doors
Perth, WA – The era of physical Bankwest branches in Perth has officially ended with the closure of the Mandurah Forum location on Friday. This marks the final closure of 28 branches across greater Perth, a decision announced by Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) in March.
The sudden announcement signaled a rapid shift towards a digital-only banking model for Bankwest. The closure of all physical branches in Perth represents a significant change for the institution, which has been a fixture on the Western Australian landscape since the colonial era.
While the closure marks the end of a long chapter for Bankwest, it reflects a broader trend in the banking industry towards digital platforms and services.
