Geraldton’s Bankwest branch has reopened following an incident with a customer on Monday.

A spokesman for the bank said the branch was temporarily closed because of concerns raised regarding the presence of an aggressive customer.

“Our primary concern is the wellbeing of our customers and colleagues,” he said.
