Some owner managers and staff at Bank of Queensland (BOQ) will be affected by the bank’s decision to convert owner managed branches to corporate branches by March 1, 2025.
The change, which will affect owner managed BOQ branches at New Farm and Hamilton, will allow them to focus on digital banking.
A BOQ spokesperson said: “BOQ is converting our Owner Managed Branch (OMB) network as we continue to simplify our operations, and more customers embrace digital banking.
“Our Owner Managers have made an important contribution to our 150-year history, and we will work closely with them to ensure a smooth transition over the coming months,” they said.
BOQ was only able to provide Village Voice with a short-term answer on whether this may lead to changes to services or closure of local branches in New Farm and Hamilton.
The spokesperson said: “Importantly, there will be no immediate change to the banking services available to our New Farm and Hamilton customers.”
