Queensland Country Bank

We've been operating in regional Queensland for more than 50 years. Recently we had an opportunity share our valued history in Cairns with leaders of the Cairns business community. As a Member owned bank, providing quality banking services to people and businesses within regions like Cairns remains an important focus of ours. It's important to us that we engage with and learn from local community members. Thank you to all who attended, including representatives of the Cairns Taipans, Cairns Regional Council, Advance Cairns, Tourism Tropical North Queensland, Cairns Chamber of Commerce, to name a few. We look forward to continuing our involvement with local people and businesses in Cairns. Photographed: Queensland Country Bank Directors - Lewis Ramsay, Karen Read FCPA GAICD MAMI, Greg Nucifora.
