It's been a busy month at Queensland Country Bank and we have lots of news to share, including that we have been named Australia's Top Rated Bank in the 2022 ProductReview Awards!

Now accepting Family Home Guarantee applications

It’s our pleasure to announce that we’re now a participating lender for the Family Home Guarantee, administered by the National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation (NHFIC).

Under the Family Home Guarantee, eligible single parents with at least one dependent child can purchase a family home with a deposit of as little as 2%, without the need to pay lenders mortgage insurance.

Both new and existing homes can be covered by the Guarantee, which is open to first home buyers as well as previous home owners.

Queensland Country is also accepting loan applications from first home buyers under the New Home Guarantee. We are no longer accepting new requests for the 2021–22 financial year release of the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme (FHLDS).
