External Transfer: A simple way to transfer money from your Suncorp account to an account at another financial institution and is fee free on most Suncorp products.
Visa Debit and Visa Credit: Our Visa Debit and Credit facilities can be a more cost effective and convenient way to make your purchases. Plus you’ll have access to Visa’s 24 million acceptance locations around the world. (Overseas transactions may attract a fee)

Payment
Honour Fee
$40.00
(this fee is charged when a transaction overdraws your account and the payment is honoured by Suncorp)

Automatic Sweep: Setting up a ‘sweep’ (automatic transfer) between your accounts to maintain a minimum balance reduces your risk of overdrawing your account or having a payment dishonoured. Sweeps prevent your account from overdrawing when a direct debit is made or cheque is presented provided you have sufficient funds in your other account. ‘Sweep’ fees are only $1.50 per sweep compared with the Payment Honour Fee, which is $40.
Phone and Internet Banking: These services are a convenient way to check and manage your account as well as stop a scheduled automatic payment. Suncorp does not charge customers to use Phone and Internet Banking. If an Internet Banking security token is required a fee may be charged.
Balance Reminder: Use this Suncorp Internet Banking feature to send you an alert email when your account balance falls below your nominated amount.
