flexiRates: higher interest rates on Savings

flexiRates allow you to set aside a portion of your savings in eligible accounts for a nominated period, have it earn a little extra interest, and help you reach your savings goals quicker.

Why choose flexiRates?

No minimum balance required

You can set up flexiRates for specified amounts from $1 to $1 million dollars inclusive

Interest adjustment

Your interest will however be adjusted if you request to release your flexiRate early. This simply reduces the amount of interest you’ll receive and doesn’t impact the amount that you originally put in.

Early release option

No admin fee is charged if you need to withdraw all of the funds before the end of your nominated period. An interest adjustment will apply

Choose a period that suits you

You can apply flexiRates with terms from 1 to 12 months, depending on your budgeting and savings needs

Freedom to set up and manage yourself

You can setup a flexiRate in under a minute on eligible accounts and view your balances at any time in the Suncorp Bank App or Internet Banking.

Reduce the temptation to spend

Set aside a portion of your money to save for something special

How do flexiRates work?

If you have more money in savings than you’ll need for your short-term expenses, you can set aside a portion of it at a higher fixed interest rate than the unlocked portion.
