  • Accounting packages.

    BOQ has partnered with a number of accounting software providers to facilitate the transfer of data from your bank account to your accounting software package.

    BOQ does not officially support the use of the “bank feed” function offered by many online accounting packages as they require you to provide your CAN and PAC which are then used by the accounting package to access your Internet Banking. Despite not officially supporting this scenario, we are aware that the functionality does work with BOQ accounts.

    If you choose to use the “bank feed” functionality within your accounting package, we strongly recommend that you set up a delegated user with “View Only” access and use the logon credentials of the delegated user to create the “bank feed”.

    Instructions on how to set up a view only delegated user can be found here.

    • Payments

    • Regular Payment Arrangements.

      There are many benefits for accountholders and cardholders who set up regular payments including:

      1. Timely payments to the merchant
      2. Saves you time as the payment is processed automatically
      3. Saves you money as you do not have to pay for cheques, money transfers or postage, nor will you be liable for late fees.

      Regular Payment Arrangements can be either a recurring payment, a direct debit or an instalment payment.

      • Recurring Payment: You may ask your mobile phone service provider to charge your monthly phone bill to your credit card each month.

      A Recurring Payment is a regular payment from a credit or debit card. You can set up a recurring payment by providing your card details (card number, expiry date and security code) to a merchant or service provider to charge your card regularly for a service. To cancel a recurring payment, you will need to contact the merchant or service provider. 

      • Direct Debit: You may ask your local gym to charge your monthly gym membership fee to your credit card each month.

      A Direct Debit is a regular payment from a transaction or savings account. You can set up a direct debit by providing your BSB and account number to a merchant or service provider to authorise them to charge your account regularly for a service. To cancel a direct debit, you will need to your local branch or BOQ Customer Contact Centre. 

      • Instalment Payment: You may have purchased a new television from your local appliance store and are being billed by the merchant for a fixed amount in multiple periods until a defined date.

      An Instalment Payment represents an agreement between you (the credit cardholder) and a merchant in which you preauthorise the merchant to bill your credit card account with a fixed amount at predetermined intervals for a predetermined time.

      Note: If you have provided a merchant with your card number for a Regular Payment Arrangement and your  card number and/or expiry date changes then you must contact the merchant to advise them of the new credit card details.

      Failure to advise the merchant of these changes could result in the cancellation of goods and/or services (e.g. cancellation of your car insurance policy).

    • Cancel a Direct Debit.

      To cancel a direct debit

      If the direct debit is due to be processed from your account within the next 48 hours, we can still process your request. We cannot guarantee the success of the cancellation due to the possibility of the payment file already being processed.

      Important things to remember when cancelling a Direct Debit

      Cancelling your direct debit does not cancel your contract with the merchant or service provider.

      If you still have a valid contract with a merchant and you’ve cancelled a direct debit, you’ll need to make alternate payment arrangements with them. If you no longer require their services, you will need to discuss the cancelation of your agreement with the merchant or service provider directly.

      Contact the third party provider that you have authorised to debit your account to ensure that they do not establish a new debit stream in the future and that they are also aware that you are cancelling your current direct debit engagement with them.

    • Cancel a Recurring Payment or Instalment Payment.

       To cancel your Regular Payment arrangement 

      1. Contact the merchant or the third party provider that you have authorised to debit your account.

      2. Telephone our BOQ Contact Centre on 1300 557 272  

      If the regular payment arrangement is due to be processed from your account within the next 7 days, these instructions will be processed by National Australia Bank ("NAB"). If the request is within 7 days we cannot guarantee the success of the cancellation due to the possibility of the payment file already being actioned.
