One of the big four banks is launching a new pilot program to improve access to services in rural areas.
From next year, Westpac will run a mobile banking service to provide face to face and private sessions from bankers making fortnightly visits to the regions.
It has also extended its moratorium on regional branch closures until the next decade.
