Westpac Banking has postponed its regional branch closures until at least 2027, committing over $150 million to enhance services.
"This commitment will support more than 2.2 million customers and 1,000 employees who live and work in 182 regional areas," the bank said in a statement.
Westpac will also invest $200 million over the next decade with Australia Post to facilitate cash and cheque transactions at select post offices.
