FAQs{yellow-border}

How many Everyday Accounts can I open?

You can open 10 Everyday Accounts in the same name.

Can I open a joint account?

Yes, although you can only have 2 people as joint account holders. Once you’ve completed your application, we’ll send the other person a message with details on how to get started.

Just so you know, if the person you are opening the account with is a new myBOQ customer, they’ll receive a unique application ID and an invite prompting them to download the myBOQ app to get started.

If they’re already with myBOQ, they can apply using the application ID in the myBOQ app or myBOQ Internet Banking. This is done in the account section by selecting ‘Sign up for a new account’ and then ‘Join an existing application’.

How to open an Everyday Account?

To open an Everyday Account with BOQ, all you need to do is download the myBOQ app or apply online here. You’ll need your Australian phone number and Australian driver’s licence or passport. After that, we’ll take it from there. Find out more about the myBOQ banking app here.

Can I use an Everyday Account to offset a BOQ home loan?

No. Talk to a lending specialist at your nearest BOQ branch to learn more about the ideal product to suit your needs.

What is a debit card?

Your physical debit card looks like a normal credit card, but it only uses money you already have in your bank account. When you buy things or withdraw cash using your debit card the funds come from your everyday account.

Can I use my debit card overseas?

Yes! With BOQ you can use your debit card overseas wherever Visa is accepted. Use the card as you normally would but we do have to apply certain extra fees and charges when you use your Australian debit card in another country.

We've laid them out here for you.

What is Click to Pay?

Make online shopping easier with Click to Pay, a fast and secure way to check out using your BOQ Visa debit or credit card. No more typing in card numbers, searching for passwords or filling out long forms.
