Australia’s Best Regional Bank, Bank of Queensland, is bringing a new era in banking with the opening of its new Ringwood branch this week.

Owner-Managed Branches (OMBs) allow experienced bankers to own a branch in their local area, providing their communities with outstanding banking services.  Including Ringwood, Bank of Queensland now has 12 OMBs in Victoria.

Ringwood Owner-Manager Karen Myers said the unique Owner-Managed Branch format allowed her to focus fully on her customers’ needs. 

“As a small business owner, I am fully committed to providing my customers with a premium level of service,” Mrs Myers said. 

]“This, combined with my twenty years of personal and business banking experience, makes our branch a great banking alternative.

“Bank of Queensland’s OMBs offer the best of both worlds to Melbourne customers – the security and strength of a 130-year-old bank combined with the service and local knowledge of a small business.

Bank of Queensland is a one stop shop for its customers, offering a full range of transactional, investment, lending and insurance services to both business and personal clients.

“Unlike some banks, Bank of Queensland doesn’t want to force customers to call an automated call centre – we encourage them to come into the branch to let us help them do their banking.”

“If you’d prefer to call us, our direct phone number – like all Bank of Queensland branches – is in the phone book, and I also give all my clients my mobile number so I am available anytime to discuss their needs.”

Bank of Queensland Ringwood is located at Centro Ringwood Shopping Centre, on the corner of the Maroondah Highway & New Street and can be contacted on 9298 4000.
