This really depends on what your business needs are.
If you’re a sole trader or run another type of small business, you’ll find there are a number of bank account options with different fees and features available and the type of bank account for your business might not be for others. For this reason, it’s important that you do your research and weigh up your options against your business needs and objectives.
For example, when choosing a business transaction account, features such as the number of free transactions could be particularly important to businesses with a high volume of payments. Whereas businesses with a low volume of transactions may be more focused on paying lower fees.
This is why Westpac offers a choice of business transaction accounts designed to support a variety of small businesses.
You can open a number of Westpac business bank accounts online without having to go into a branch, depending on how your business is structured and whether or not you’re already a Westpac customer. Usually, it takes just a few minutes.
If you’re a sole trader, sole director or two-director company, you can use this tool to find an account and start opening it online.
It’s worth doing some research to help you identify the right business bank account for your business needs. You could start by comparing Westpac business bank accounts on our compare business bank accounts page.
