Find the BSB and your account number

As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our services, we're making it easier for you to find the BSB and your account number in Internet Banking and the Bank First App. The account number and BSB are the only pieces of information you need in order to receive money into your Bank First account.

 What's changing?
We are changing the accounts screen in Internet Banking and the Bank First App so you can easily find the BSB and account number. You'll no longer see your Member number and account type (e.g.  S1) on the accounts screen. Instead, you will see your BSB and account number as the default view.

 What is a BSB?
Every bank has a BSB (Bank-State-Branch) number and they're all different. At Bank First we have one universal BSB to remember - 704191.

 What is an account number?
Every account you have with Bank First has a unique nine-digit account number. This is the number that you can use to receive money into your Bank First account. A common mistake is to use your Member number followed by the S-number instead of your account number.
