What is Queensland Country Bank's BSB?
Our BSB is 654 000.
Where can I find your branches?
We've got branches across Queensland, stretching from Stanthorpe in the south to Weipa in the north, and as far west as our roots in Mount Isa.
Are you as secure as some of the bigger banks?
Member-owned banks are regulated by the same government regulator as the major banks – the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA).
APRA’s supervision is designed to minimise the chance that a financial institution will be unable to meet its obligations to depositors. Member-owned banks, publicly-listed banks and building societies must all comply with the same set of APRA rules (known as Prudential Standards). We comply with all Prudential Standards and are in a strong and stable financial position.
What is the Financial Claims Scheme (the deposit guarantee)?
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) administers the Financial Claims Scheme, which is an additional protection for deposits.
The Financial Claims Scheme ensures that depositors with a member-owned bank, publicly-listed bank or building society will be guaranteed repayment of their funds in the extremely unlikely event that any banking institution faces stress.
The Scheme includes a guarantee of $250,000 per person per institution.
To find out more about Government guarantees, visit APRA’s Financial Claim Scheme website.

What is a Power of Attorney (POA)?
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that appoints another person (or persons) to act on your behalf in certain circumstances. This can include making decisions about your finances, property, health care or other matters. A POA can be used in a wide range of circumstances such as:
- If you become incapacitated;
- Unable to handle your affairs due to illness or travel; or
- Simply want someone else to handle your affairs whilst you are away.
Requirements for POA’s vary state-to-state, two categories of POA’s exist:
- General Power of Attorney: General POA’s only remain in effect while you (the Principal) have mental capacity. It allows an attorney to make decisions about your financial matters; and
- Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA): This document remains in effect even if you lose mental capacity, it can allow attorneys to make decisions about your financial and/or health matters.
Limitations can be placed on POA’s such as they only come into effect if you lose capacity, or that attorney’s only have limited powers.
Appropriate legal advice should be sought before making a decision on the future management of all financial affairs.
How do I establish a Power of Attorney (POA) with Queensland Country Bank?
If you have appointed an attorney and would like to have them added to your accounts with Queensland Country Bank, there are some requirements that need to be met, including:
- Complete our Power of Attorney or Administrator Notice;
- Bring your original or certified copy of your POA into branch; and
- Complete an ID verification for each attorney added.
If you need to notify us of a Power of Attorney arrangement, you can either visit your local branch or phone our Contact Centre on 1800 075 078.
I have an existing Power of Attorney/Enduring Power of Attorney, but it was signed outside of QLD. Will this impact how my finances are managed with Queensland Country?
If your POA or EPOA documents were signed outside of Queensland, they will need to be assessed to ensure they meet Queensland Country’s acceptance guidelines.
You can provide the relevant documentation by visiting your local branch or by calling our Contact Centre on 1800 075 078 for further assistance.
