The most frustrating experience is to find a generic email address for Westpac for someone who is not a customer and has a need to report or enquire about a matter of concern.
Why cant an option like this cant be provided is a mystery and shows lack of social intelligence from the part of the organization’s management and the IT designers of the communications platform.
And if such info is available God help anyone wanting to find it.
An email titled Generic matters email contact is the obvious solution with any one with a reasonable level of social intelligence.
I have just returned from Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, I was sourcing information on several issues relating to loans and change of branch. The lady WESTPAC Manageress at this branch went beyond my expectations, unfortunately I missed her name but not her service.
