Vittoria Shortt, Chief Executive of Bankwest Retail, believes the new ATMs will provide even greater and more convenient access for customers.

"Bankwest's ATMs are already part of Australia's largest network, so this is really about extending our footprint and providing more convenient access when and where our customers need it the most."

Bankwest has been in partnership with 7-Eleven since 2006, providing bank-branded, ATMs that allow the withdrawal of cash at any time, day or night, in safe and secure locations, throughout the entire 7-Eleven store network along the east coast.

"These newly branded ATMs will also benefit Commonwealth Bank customers who will also have free access to all 650 ATMs in 7-Eleven stores." Ms Shortt said.

Warren Willmot, 7-Eleven CEO, believes the extension of this partnership is good news for customers.

"At 7- Eleven we are focused on providing convenience for our customers by delivering the products and services they need. This deal will make life easier for our customers by combining convenient shopping with secure access to ATMs."

The new deal delivers a number of key benefits to customers, including:

•Access to 650 ATMs in all of 7-Eleven's convenient locations
•Customers of both Bankwest and Commonwealth Bank can withdraw cash and check their balance without incurring a fee
•Bankwest customers will continue to enjoy additional ATM functionality including; PIN changes, mini statement printing and ordering statements and cheque books
•7- Eleven stores are open 24/7 in safe and convenient locations
