Comment: Too little love for BOQ
If anyone is to kick Bank of Queensland out of the industry it may have to be a foreign bank that does the work.Bendigo could be back for BOQ but probably won't be and nor, more's the pity, will Commonwealth Bank.Which leaves an outsider, a foreigner more than likely, to appraise options.Any foreign bank in need of a settled business and proven customer list does not have too many options if entry through acquisition is what they have in mind.A buyer could consider Suncorp Bank, degraded foreign bank franchises and hard to target mutuals.BOQ is the only real option and not a bad one.
