Experts agree: Queenslanders the best credit union in Australia
Queenslanders Credit Union has won Credit Union of the Year at the Smart Investor Awards 2014.
The Smart Investor Awards are widely acclaimed within the finance industry as the most comprehensive and independent evaluation of banking, insurance and investment products.
The award follows a triumphant year for Queenslanders, where they were also voted Credit Union of the Year on banking comparison website Mozo and by readers of Your Mortgage magazine.
In awarding the prestigious title, the judges said that Queenslanders offered the best overall blend of products and services.
“Our scoring is part of a weighted formula that takes into account rates, fees and charges from a mixture of lending and deposit products that we feel best represent the needs of a modern investor,” the judges said.
“Queenslanders offers competitive products across deposits and lending. Their strength lies in home loans, providing attractive solutions to help customers with their borrowing needs.”
Queenslanders CEO John Weier said he was extremely happy to receive the award on behalf of the credit union.
“Every single person in our team lives by the promise of banking that’s personal and this really seems to resonate with customers and set us apart from the larger financial institutions,” he said.
“We’re planning a big home loan promotion to celebrate the win and we can’t wait to share details soon.”
