About QBE

QBE Insurance (rated S&P ‘A+ Stable’) is duly licensed by The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) in Australia (plus, other jurisdictions) and has been issuing Deposit Bonds since 2001 and, due to their overall financial size and strong credit rating, their bonds are widely recognised and accepted in the market, an important criteria for longer term bonds

It’s important to note that QBE is regulated by APRA, the same authority that oversees banks, credit unions, building societies, general insurance and reinsurance companies, life insurance, private health insurance, friendly societies and most members of the superannuation industry

QBE, with origins dating back to 1886, is a financially strong and diverse insurer, with substantial reinsurance backing from major global reinsurers and should, in no way, be compared to the recent demise of the Deposit Power brand in Australia & New Zealand, which was supported by CBL Insurance NZ (now in external administration) that didn’t have an S&P rating and wasn’t a licensed Australian insurer

Testimonials

As a busy suburban solicitor, I am very familiar with the stress surrounding clients purchasing property. The professionalism demonstrated by Aussie Bonds Australia, on repeat occasions, has helped to remove a large amount of client stress in helping to secure their Contract of Sale within tight cooling-off periods.
- Mitchell Reece & Associates, Jannali NSW
Thanks Aussie Bonds for assisting us to sort our 'off the plan' purchase. In comparison to others we approached, your guidance and support was amazing. Plus we benefited from your competitive pricing and fast turnaround when we were caught short.
- Vic & Emily Cabaleri, Balmain
It is such a refreshing and pleasant experience to do business with a company that gives great customer service. My dealings with Aussie Bonds have been exceptional, efficient, professional and patient.
- Sue Alexander, Licensed Real Estate Agent, Northern Beaches, Sydney
Aussie Bonds delivers on or often above expectations, which is remarkable to me. How do you create an environment & culture that aims for excellence and continually delivers beyond expectation. Your company is unmatched in the Deposit Bond space.
- Erik Reurts, Blue Tongue Finance, Sydney
I've been in the development industry for decades. Our company shifted towards residential construction some 12 years ago. In all that time I've never come across a service provider that offers your firm's consistent level of service. Thank you.
- Dr Nicholas Girdis, Girdis Group, Brisbane
I've been in the real estate and project marketing industry for many years and have dealt with many support organisations and nothing gets close to Aussie Bonds. Sure, big words, but you can't hide from the facts. Aussie Bonds has made my task a whole lot simpler. I'm not surprised to hear my clients & their friends keep going back to Aussie Bonds for more bonds.
- Rodney Blackmore, Colliers, Sydney
I'd like to thank you sincerely for the excellent service you provided me with recently in obtaining a Deposit Bond which has secured for me a wonderful, and I'm sure a happy home for my future. As I was very anxious that I didn't miss buying the property I applied 'out of hours' and your quick response (even though you were lunching with friends!) was of invaluable assistance to me. So, to you and your excellent staff who helped me so professionally and efficiently, I'd like to say a BIG thank you!
