Why Bank of Queensland

We’re on a mission to become Australia’s most loved bank. No walk in the park, but it’s how we go about things that make it possible. We’ll do it by getting face-to-face, one-to-one and creating real, long-lasting relationships with our customers. Flash-in-the-pan financial arrangements aren’t for us.

Like any close relationship good communication is everything. In fact, getting personal is what we’re all about. Being able to talk to us on social media should be more like chatting with a good friend over coffee. So feel free to share the love by sharing our posts, ask questions, or tell us what you think.
