NAB’s portable ‘Bank in a Box’ has officially arrived in Kingaroy, ensuring locals can continue accessing essential banking services while the town’s historic branch undergoes a major transformation.

After more than 100 years of supporting residents, NAB’s Kingaroy branch will temporarily close starting Wednesday, 30 July to begin a $2.6 million upgrade aimed at creating a more welcoming and practical space for our customers.

The new branch will feature:

• A refreshed, open-plan layout to enhance customer service

• Improved accessibility and energy-efficient design

To support customers during the upgrade, NAB has deployed its ‘Bank in a Box’ just down the road at 135–141 Kingaroy Street, opposite the RSL.

The mobile banking hub offers:

• A private meeting space for customer conversations
• Smart ATMs for cash withdrawals and deposits
• Full access to NAB’s digital banking tools via iPads.

Brody Finlay NAB’s Kingaroy Branch Manager said, “We’re excited to be investing in the Kingaroy community and creating a new, modern branch to help locals with everything from everyday banking to big life moments like buying a home.”

“While the multi-million dollar upgrade is underway, our customers will still see the familiar faces of our Kingaroy team at the ‘Bank in a Box’. We can’t wait for everyone to come in and say g’day.”

The ‘Bank in a Box’ will be operational from Friday, 1 August through to Thursday, 9 October 2025, with the newly upgraded Kingaroy Branch scheduled to reopen on Friday, 10 October 2025.
