Benefits of using a Bank of Queensland credit card

Choosing one of these BOQ credit cards will give you access to the following benefits:

Online and mobile banking

You can manage your BOQ credit card account on-the-go through the myBOQ app and myBOQ Internet Banking. This means you can make payments, check your balance, find BOQ branches or ATMs and gain access to unique banking tools at any time, from anywhere in the world.

Digital wallets and contactless payments

All BOQ credit cards offer Visa payWave technology. This means that you can tap-and-go when you make a purchase of less than $100 at a merchant that supports this technology. You can also link your card to Samsung Pay, Google Pay and Apple Pay and use your eligible smartphone or wearable device to make contactless payments at the terminal.

Complimentary insurance

If you get the BOQ Blue Visa or Platinum Visa, you can enjoy purchase protection insurance to cover eligible items bought with your card against theft or damage. If you have the BOQ Platinum Visa, you'll also gain access to complimentary international travel insurance and extended warranty cover. Terms, conditions and exclusions, as well as some limits and excess costs may apply, so please refer to the complimentary insurance conditions available on the BOQ website.

Account security
