Westpac is Australia's oldest bank, starting as the Bank of New South Wales in 1817. It expanded to operate over all of Australia and New Zealand and became a publicly owed corporation.
Its headquarters used to be in Martin Place, Sydney along with the other major Australian banks but recently moved to the new development along the harbour at Barangaroo.
In the late 1980s, Westpac took advantage of the deregulated financial markets around the world. In 1986, it took a greater stake in the gold-bullion markets when it purchased part of the London dealer Johnson Matthey Bankers Ltd. In 1987, the bank acquired U.S. bond dealer William E. Pollock Government Securities. Westpac also continued to improve its branch network throughout the Pacific in the face of growing competition from Japanese banks.
Its major subsidiaries include BT and St George Bank.
