Does Queensland Country Bank facilitate joint bank accounts?
All personal accounts offered by Queensland Country Bank, provided they meet the specific account eligibility criteria (e.g. age, investment limits and/or lending criteria), can be opened individually or jointly.
The Method of Operation of an account (e.g. multiple signatories, Internet Banking, etc) may impact the access options of the account.
How do I open a joint bank account?
To open a joint account, both you and the intended joint owner will need to visit your local branch or call our Contact Centre on 1800 075 078.
Unfortunately, joint accounts cannot be opened online at this time.
How can I remove one of the joint owners from a joint bank account?
If you no longer require a joint account, we must close the existing account and open a new individual account. Joint owners cannot simply be removed from an existing account.
To get this process started, please visit your local branch or call our Contact Centre on 1800 075 078 for assistance.
If I no longer have a need for an account, how am I able to close it?
If you no longer need an account, we can help you close it. To get started, you can visit your local branch or call our Contact Centre on 1800 075 078.
If the account is jointly held, we’ll also need authorisation from the other account holder before we can proceed with the closure.
We’re unable to close accounts through the Queensland Country Bank Mobile App or Internet Banking at this time.
How am I able to receive or view my bank account statements?
We issue your statements either by paper or electronically through Internet Banking (eStatements).
Our preferred method is eStatements, as this supports our environmental sustainability goals and offers you faster, more convenient access to your statements.
We apply your statement delivery method at a Membership level, which means we’re unable to provide a combination of eStatements and paper statements.
If your Membership is closed, we’ll send you a final paper statement to the postal address last held on your Membership.
How can I access the digital copies of my bank account statements?
We make it easy for you to view, download and print your account statements using eStatements in either the Queensland Country Bank Internet Banking or Mobile App.
Mobile App:
- Log into the app and tap the menu icon in the top-left corner of the home screen
- Select ‘eStatements’
- Select ‘View eStatements’
- Then either enter a specified date range or select one of your previously-issued statements from the bottom half of the screen
Internet Banking:
- Log into Internet Banking and select ‘Services’ from the header menu at the top of the home screen
- Select ‘eStatement View’
- Then either enter a specified date range or select one of your previously-issued statements in the bottom half of the screen
Your statement includes important account details such as your name, address, BSB and account number, and can often be used for identification purposes with many Government Departments and businesses.
Should you require additional assistance, you can request a copy of your statement by visiting your local branch or by calling our Contact Centre on 1800 075 078.
