As a teenager
As a teenager in New Zealand I have never refered to or heard someone referred to as 'Westpac'. Where exactly in New Zealand does this happen?--enceladus 05:08, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Yeah I noticed that odd comment previously, too - I've never heard it except on that page. Maybe the person was trying to introduce a new neologism? Ppe42 12:04, May 11, 2005 (UTC)
WestpacTrust: I can remeber the exact date or the details, but sometime ago (in the 90s), Westpac New Zealand bought Trust Bank and became WestpacTrust for quite a while. It should be noted. TheWickerMan 12:04, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Westpac New Zealand - Local Incorporation
As per the mentioned Reserve Bank of New Zealand requirement, Westpac Banking Corporation's New Zealand retail division changed it's legal status to a separate company on 1 November 2006. It is now registered as Westpac New Zealand Limited.

Website in infobox
Any reason why the website is formatted to match the company's style? It reeks of advertising, and I'll change it to a normal plain-text url. 202.89.152.218 06:53, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
History

More History
Propose deletion of this bullet in the History section:
"1982-present: This name change became a headache for the small engineering firm in adelaide with the name WESPAC Australia[4], causing them to expend thousands of dollars answering Telix, and Telephone enquiries for customers looking for the new bank. To this day (2008) WESPAC (the engineering firm) Receive constant harrasment at the hands of WBC customers via Telephone and Email. Even to the extent that WBC proceeded to threaten WESPAC over it's website for the purposes of Intellectual Property Infringement. WESPAC fiercly denied any infringement as WBC was the first to infringe if anyone."
It is poorly formatted, hardly relevant to the history of Westpac and reads like someone from WESPAC is whinging about having to pick up the phone and redirect calls. 124.126.163.194 (talk) 09:12, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
