Qudos Bank
We’re all about doing things differently. Previously Qantas Credit Union, we know that there are things the banks do well...and not so well. So with a new name we’ve included a statement to reassure you that you’ll always come first and that our focus is on challenging the status quo – ‘so unbank like’. ‘So unbank like’ means you’ll experience less of the negative ‘bank like’ ways, like nasty hiked up fees, impersonal service and an ‘all about profit’ focus - that’s just not us. As our name suggests, we give Qudos - banking with real benefits and rewards. Rewarding you for banking with us - it’s the way banking should be.
