These banking services are what we have been doing now for 55 years. Queensland Country celebrated its 55th birthday recently and this milestone provided an opportunity to reflect on the growth and expansion of the bank over this time. Queensland Country commenced as Isa Mine Employees Credit Union on the 23^rd February 1971, and the credit union was started with a loan from Mount Isa Mines of $100,000. The Bank is now one of the top 10 mutual banks in the country and has almost $5 billion in assets. We recognised the many staff over this period who have made important decisions and contributions to help build the organisation and more than 120,000 Members who chose to bank with us.

Home and investment loans are key products the Bank provides to Members to help purchase or build a new home. We have continued to see strong growth in demand for home lending which is likely to result in the bank funding more than $1 billion in new loans this financial year. This is a good indication that the Queensland property market remains buoyant and also demonstrates the competitive home loan products we offer. Canstar has recently announced their banking product awards for the past year, and Queensland Country has been awarded five stars for our variable home loans and investment loans.

We also understand that our Members value the face-to-face service we provide through our branches and I am pleased to share with you that we will be building a new Brisbane city branch which is scheduled to open in July/August this year. As a member-owned bank, our corporate structure enables us to continue to invest in the business to improve services to our members. We are able to make these investments as we don’t have the financial cost of paying dividends to shareholders. We have taken this approach over the past 55 years to stay relevant to our Members. Thank you for your ongoing support of our Bank.

Remote access scams are on the rise, with scammers becoming increasingly skilled at making their requests sound legitimate.

To help you stay safe, we’re breaking down some common beliefs that relate to remote access scams and revealing which ones are facts and which are myths.

Many borrowers think about refinancing when the market changes, interest rates move, or their financial goals change. With rates changing regularly, it’s helpful to review your loan from time to time to make sure it still makes sense and aligns with your budget and long-term goals.

In March 2026, Australia's financial landscape is undergoing its most significant shift in decades. You may notice that Queensland Country Bank and other financial institutions will start asking more questions, but it's not because we’ve become nosy. It is because of a major overhaul to Australia's Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) laws.
