The timeline section states "WBC was framed with the mission to become a significant Western-Pacific bank". There follows the dubious statement "As of 2008 this mission has not been accomplished". On what basis is this statement made, does it not represent an editorial opinion rather than a fact, and how has it managed to stay in the article for two years??

Can someone find reference that either the Commonwealth Bank or Westpac is the largest bank by mrkt. capitalisation. They both conflict with no references. I have removed both statements.

It did not exist before then, it was created by the merger of 2 other companies, these companies ceased to exist and a new one was created. The claim its Australis oldest bank is wrong, if anything it should state westpac destroyed Australias first bank.
Is a summary needed? BNSW and CBA have their own articles and the information can be contained there and redirected too.-- Alfstewartsrapedungeon ( talk) 06:39, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

I removed the "Corporate Governance" section, as it seemed rather promotional and not vital to the topic.
I also started editing the History section before realizing there are a huge number of data points presented as fact with no citations at all. The bullet lists read almost as though this section was copy-pasted from corporate promotional materials, which is reinforced in my view by the full section devoted to corporate governance, a highly atypical section for most business/company pages.
The entire article could be better-supported by sourcing, or otherwise streamlined and condensed to present verifiable facts in a less promotional way. JP Miller1 ( talk) 19:44, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Just wondering if the current scandal should have its own page? Thoughts? MaskedSinger ( talk) 19:41, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
Will it may be worth having a section on banking alliances, groups or associations with whom Westpac is involved. There is no particular notable reason for there to be a section specific to the Global ATM Alliance in this article. Duncnbiscuit ( talk) 00:15, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
The section Westpac New Zealand should have its own article Westpac New Zealand. This would be consistent with other subsidiaries of Westpac, such as St George Bank, having their own article and also with equivalent Australian owned New Zealand banks also having separate articles to their parent. Being subject to the New Zealand's regulator RBNZ Banking Standard 11, Westpac New Zealand is also operates largely independently of its Westpac parent. plus a separate article would accommodate the history of the bank's New Zealand predecessors.
