Open Banking is part of the Consumer Data Right (CDR), introduced after the Australian Government passed legislation to give consumers greater access and control over their personal banking information across the industry.
You can elect to safely share your personal banking information between accredited third parties making it easier for you to manage, compare and access new banking products and services as well as, in need, correct data held about you.

Once you have opted in, you can share name and contact details, your account summary, balances and transaction history, direct debits, scheduled payments, and saved payees for open accounts including:
You can share transaction history as far back as 1 January 2017.
We do not accept requests to share any other types of data - known as 'voluntary data'.
Your QBANK data will only be shared with accredited third parties once you have authorised it. This may be a once-off event, or ongoing sharing of data for up to 12 months. You can revoke that access at any time and ask for your QBANK data to be deleted.
To share your QBANK data you must first provide your consent via the accredited third party service (web site or app). To help identify you, a one-time code will be sent via SMS to the registered mobile number on your QBANK membership. You will need to enter your membership number and the one-time code to authenticate yourself.
No. You should never give your QBANK password to a third party. To do so breaches QBANK’s General Terms and Conditions and compromises the security of your accounts.
If you use Open Banking, you will not be asked for your QBANK password. A one-time code will be sent to your phone instead.
If you elect to share your information, and once you have been identified, it will be sent to the accredited third party via a secure connection. This connection is governed by strict terms and conditions defined by the ACCC on how your data must be secured. To find out more visit accc.gov.au/consumer-data-right-cdr
Data sharing will stop when your consent expires (or you revoke your consent). The accredited third party will either delete or de-identity your data.

If you choose to share your information, there are strict rules and security protocols in place to protect it.
All Open Banking industry participants that send and receive data must be accredited by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). The ACCC have set strict accreditation criteria, as well as privacy and information security standards.
Open Banking is not mandatory – you retain full control of your data and whether you want to participate. You will never need to give your QBANK password to a third party.
You can keep track of who you are sharing your QBANK data with and what information they have accessed using QBANK Internet Banking.
To see who you are sharing your QBANK data with:
You can stop sharing your QBANK data immediately.
If you are unhappy with the way a third party is handling your QBANK data, you should contact them and express your concerns.

You can raise the matter directly with a member of our staff so we can try to resolve the problem “on the spot”.
