"Bank of Queensland has a fantastic savings interest rate that I've been taking advantage of for years. The small criteria of a deposit and 5 everyday transactions is very easy to meet. At the end of the day, I feel with this account I don't need to jump through hoops to get the best rate."

      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!

      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!
