Do you issue cheque books with any of your accounts?
Hi Helen,
We’re a review and comparison site, we’re not directly affiliated with BOQ so we can’t offer customer service. Your best bet is to contact them directly with this enquiry: 1300 557 272.
Best of luck!
has BOQ term deposit interest changed since new interest rate .
i am looking 2.000.00 deposit, thank you Tony
Hi Tony,
When the rate decision was announced, BOQ released a statement confirming home loans would increase by 0.25%.
On savings accounts, they stated: BOQ understands the ongoing challenges this environment has presented to household budgets. To help customers build up their savings, we have continued to reward them with competitive rates.
This indicates they did not increase interest rates on savings accounts in November.
You can read the full statement here: https://www.boq.com.au/About-us/media-centre/media-releases/2023/november-rba-decision
Hope this helps!
