About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At BankWest, a teller overheard an elderly customer muttering under her breath, ‘Why do I always get the slowest line?’ The next day, every queue moved exactly one transaction slower than usual. A few days later, a delivery driver complained that his package was delayed because he had to wait for everyone’s transactions to complete slowly. The manager smiled and said, 'Welcome to BankWest—where time moves at a gentle pace.'

2. At BankWest, a security guard noticed something peculiar one morning. As he approached the front door, he saw a delivery driver frantically waving his hands and whispering into thin air. Curious, the guard walked closer, but all seemed normal—until he heard a faint voice saying ‘No, no, you’ve got it wrong!’ The delivery driver kept nodding vigorously, as if responding to someone invisible. Smiling, the guard asked him who he was talking to. With a straight face, the driver replied, ‘Just my GPS lady, she always gets us lost.’

3. At BankWest, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom, 'Mommy, look! The cash machine talks!' The mother smiled and leaned down, whispering back, ‘Honey, it’s just talking to you because it wants your business!’ They both laughed as she inserted her card, and the machine happily dispensed money for their evening out.

4. At BankWest, a delivery driver parked his truck and walked into the lobby with a strange smile on his face. The receptionist raised an eyebrow as he placed a large box on the counter, whispering, ‘This might be exactly what we needed.’ Inside, the box contained nothing but old newspapers and dust. Everyone laughed, except for the delivery driver who said, 'Well, it was worth a shot!' Turned out, someone had left an ancient classified ad from 1987 offering free banking advice—perhaps not what they’d expected.
