Cards FAQ

Card controls are a feature available in internet banking or the Mobile App, giving you extra security on your credit and debit cards, by blocking certain types of card transactions.

You can block transactions in Australia and overseas:

• Tap and Go (Visa payWave)
• In-store purchases
• Online purchases
• ATM withdrawals
• Digital wallet purchases.

You can access card controls by logging into to internet banking or the Mobile App and going to Card Management > Card Controls.

A digital wallet gives you the freedom to carry all your cards in one place, on your smartphone. Both our Visa Debit and Visa Credit cards can be added to your digital wallet using Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay.

Find out more about digital wallets.

Our cards are enabled with Visa PayWave, so you can simply tap your card against the PayWave reader to almost instantly pay for your goods. For purchases under $100, you don't even need to enter your PIN, and the card never leaves your hand.

If your purchase is more than $100, you can still use Visa payWave - you'll simply need to enter your PIN, the same way you normally would.

Visa payWave cards have multiple layers of security in place to make sure your money and transactions are safe, and payWave transactions also have Visa's Zero Liability protection, which ensures you are not responsible for fraudulent or unauthorised transactions, subject to the terms and conditions and provided you did not contribute to the loss incurred.

Queensland Country works with Vigil, a card security monitoring service, to monitor and report any suspicious transactions. This means we can work quickly to protect your funds in the event your card is compromised.
