Bank account format

Additional information

Australia

• Bank name
• Full name on account
• BSB code (6-digits)
• Account number (1-9-digits)

As of January 1, 2020, the address on file for your AU bank account may not be a P.O. Box.

Format of the BSB code: The first two digits to indicate the "bank" and the other four digits to specify the "branch" of that bank. The first digit of the branch digits is the state code indicating the state where the branch was located. 

For example, the Australian BSB code "033088" breaks down to:

• 03 = Westpac Banking Corporation, historically the trading operation
• 3 = Victoria
• 088 = 383 Chapel Street, Prahran
