Queensland Country Bank has won the WeMoney Customer-Owned Bank of the Year Award for the third straight year, among 25 wins secured at the 2026 Banking Awards. Several of these accolades have now been awarded to the bank multiple years in a row, reflecting our ongoing dedication to delivering exceptional service and value for Members.
The annual WeMoney Business and Banking Awards celebrate Australia's leading financial institutions, products, and innovators. Presented by WeMoney, a financial wellness platform popular with Gen Z and Millennial Australians, the awards provide an opportunity to engage younger Australians and showcase the benefits of member-owned banking.
Queensland Country Bank's Chief Product and Marketing Officer, Andrew McArdle, said the awards reflect the strength of the bank's purpose-driven approach.
"This recognition reflects the dedication of our people, the trust of our Members and our ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional service..."
"We are especially proud to be named Customer-Owned Bank of the Year for the third year running. It reinforces our position as a trusted alternative to the major banks and demonstrates the power of the member-owned model."
"A particular highlight was being recognised for providing Outstanding Customer Service across ten categories, demonstrating how our member-first culture truly sets us apart in the market."
"Everything we do is guided by our purpose of helping Queenslanders live better lives through better financial wellbeing. Awards like this recognise our team's ongoing efforts to bring that purpose to life by making a meaningful difference for our Members and the communities we serve."
While the awards celebrate excellence across products, service and innovation, they also reflect the trust Members place in Queensland Country Bank every day. The bank is proud to share this achievement with its Members and looks forward to continuing to support their financial wellbeing for years to come.
