Problem gambling assistance

It isn’t always easy to know when gambling has become a problem. When a Suncorp Bank customer needs support, we can help with their immediate banking needs and connect them to additional support services.  

We also help our customers restrict what they spend on gambling. With the Suncorp Bank App, customers can activate an instant lock on their transaction account, which blocks purchases from most gambling services.
