5 ways Qudos Bank is working to simplify your banking in 2026

At Qudos Bank, we work hard to bring you products that make banking easier. As we head into the new year, here’s a refresher of some of the handy tools and resources our customers can access to make the most of their finances in 2026.

Turn banking into a holiday with Qantas Points

How can banking with Qudos Bank help make your long-held dream of a holiday in the Greek Islands a reality? Glad you asked. Our Qantas Points banking range turns everyday banking into Qantas Points. By simply switching your home loan, savings account, credit card or car loan to a Qudos Bank Qantas Points earning banking product, you can earn Qantas Points* to board that plane faster.

Plus, Qudos Bank customers receive complimentary Qantas Frequent Flyer membership if they are not already a Qantas Frequent Flyer member*. Check out this handy tool that helps estimate how many Qantas Points you can earn each month just for banking with us.

Plan your finances with Qudos Bank calculators

Calculators aren’t just for maths class. We have a really helpful and easy-to-use range of calculators to assist with everything from personal budgeting and home loan comparisons to calculating your estimated tax income.

An especially popular tool at this time of the year is our budget planner. Designed to help customers make the most out of their finances, it allows you to input all your household income details and split costs into different expenditure categories (like transport, credit cards, entertainment) so you can plan for the year ahead. It’s a simple but effective way to help to get your finances in order for the year ahead.

Get the low-down on loans

Banking shouldn’t be confusing. That’s why Qudos Bank always aims to cut through the jargon and provide customers with fuss-free and accurate information to guide their choices. Whether you’re a first homebuyer or looking to renovate, refinance or invest, our home loans page will shepherd you through everything you need to do, step by step. And if you still have more questions, you can book a free appointment with our Qudos Bank at Home Mobile Lenders at a time and place that suits you.

Brush up on common banking terms

Banking may not make for the most exciting dinner party chat, but knowing your Bridging Loan from your BSB is valuable for shoring up your financial literacy. With so much “insider” or abbreviated terminology, banking information can sometimes feel like a foreign language – something we work hard to avoid at Qudos Bank. That’s why it's worth brushing up on (or even just bookmarking) this helpful glossary of banking terms, which aims to cut through the jargon and keep banking simple.

Be aware of the latest scams

Unfortunately, banking fraud is on the rise and is especially prevalent at this time of the year. From romance scams to credit card fraud, scammers are getting sneakier and more sophisticated with the methods they use. Qudos Bank works tirelessly to ensure your financial safety, however, it's important to always stay well informed about the changing nature of scams in Australia and abroad.

You can do this by visiting our fraud and security hub to find out the latest scams doing the rounds, and how to protect yourself and your family. Here, you can download our fraud booklet, check out FAQs, and contact a member of our staff for more information or if you have any concerns.
