Accessible Banking

Our services have a range of accessible features that ensure ease of banking.

Accessible Ways to Contact Us

If you’re hearing-impaired or speech-impaired, you can contact our customer service team by phone or teletypewriter (TTY) via the National Relay Service (NRS).

To use the NRS to get in contact:

  • For TTY services, call 133 677 and ask for 1300 747 747

Accessible Payment Methods

Qudos Bank customers can use a range of Tap and Pay technologies that we provide, such as Google Pay and Apple Pay to make payments easy. Tap and Pay functionality is not only convenient but it is also a great accessibility tool for payment. Tap and Pay helps enable people with visual impairment or restricted mobility and dexterity to shop safely and independently, as it offers an alternative payment method to the traditional physical inserts of cards.

To use contactless payments, simply hold your Qudos Bank Credit Card or Debit Card near a payment terminal and the card will process the payment.

Qudos Bank card accessibility features

We've enhanced our cards to consider customer feedback and accessibility improvements.

  1. Card numbers and name details are now thermal printed on the back side of the card, mitigating issues with embossing and scratching.
  2. An accessibility notch has been added to the cards to inform customers with visual impairment which end of the card should be inserted into an ATM or merchant terminal.

Authorising others to operate on your account

You can let us know anytime whether you would like to authorise someone to operate on your accounts (called a signatory) by completing an Authorised Signatory form or by calling 1300 747 747.

Because you are responsible for all transactions made by your signatory, you should ensure that you both know and trust this person completely.
