My Daily Limits
General Information about Daily Limits
- Daily limits are a security measure to limit the amount of money that could be fraudulently transferred from any of your accounts to a 3rd party using Internet Banking.
- A daily limit applies to transactions initiated from your Internet banking Customer ID. There is one combined limit for all of your accounts.
- Your daily limit remaining and current daily limit are both shown next to the Amount field on the Other Suncorp Account transfers screen, BPAY screen and the External Transfers screen.
- All transactions to non-Suncorp accounts, to other Suncorp accounts, BPAY transactions and Business Payments are subject to the daily limit. The total of these three types of transactions on any given day must be less than your daily limit. Any transaction that exceeds your daily limit will be rejected.
- External Transfers and Business Payments require you to enter an External Transfer Password (ETP) or Token Code to verify the transaction.
- If two people have access to the same account through Internet banking, then each user will have their own daily limit.
- Daily limits reset to zero at approximately midnight.
Changing Your Daily Limit
- You can request changes to your daily limit using the "Change my daily limit" link underneath your accounts section in Internet Banking. If you find that the limit is higher than you use, you can request your limit to be lowered.
- You can change your limit from $0 to $100,000 online via Internet Banking. To change your daily limit over $5,000, you'll need to purchase a Suncorp Security Token.
Limits for International Money Transfers
- The maximum amount for Online Telegraphic Transfers using the "Overseas Account" type can not be changed by altering your daily limit. Subject to your daily limit, the transaction limits for Online Telegraphic Transfers are:
- Up to AUD $20,000 can be completed 24 hours a day; and
- Transactions over AUD $20,000 can only be completed during the hours 8.00 am and 6.00pm AEST on any Business Day (being Monday to Friday on which branches of Suncorp are open for business in Brisbane)
- A single Online Telegraphic Transfer cannot exceed AUD $50,000.
- The maximum amount that can be transferred within a 48 hour period is AUD $100,000 per Customer ID.
Limits for Business Accounts
- Business Account owners can apply for account limits and personal limits to be applied to business accounts. These are subject to approval by us.
- An Account Limit limits the total dollar value of all external transfers, BPAY®, Business Payment Credit files and transfers to another Suncorp account that can be processed from the account each day.
- A Personal Limit can be set up for each individual that transacts on the account. It limits the total dollar value of all external transfers, BPAY®, Business Payment Credit files and transfers to another Suncorp account that the individual can approve each day. Personal limits are only available if an Account Limit is in place.
- While an account limit or personal limit is in place for an account, the dollar value of external transfers, BPAY®, Business Payment Credit files and transfers to another Suncorp account made from that account will not be included in the daily limit for the person registered for Internet Banking (e.g.an account limit will override a daily limit).
Limits for Business Payments Debit
- Limits are in place if you're uploading an ABA file to Internet Banking in order to process a business payment debit.
- A Period limit restricts the total dollar value of Business Payment Debit files that can be processed for a particular Debit User during a certain period (eg daily, weekly, monthly).
- A File limit restricts the total dollar value of an individual Business payment Debit file that can be processed by a particular Debit user.
- A Transaction Limit is set for each Debit user and limits each individual transaction that is contained within the Business Payment Debit File.
How Daily Limits Affect Future Dated and Recurring Transfers
- Future dated and recurring payments that are set up to occur on a future and/or recurring date, to both Suncorp and non-Suncorp accounts, will affect the daily limit on the date the transfer is processed and not on the day of set up.
- For example if you have a future dated transfer that you setup today the first of February for April 15, your daily limit will be deducted overnight on April 15 when the transaction takes place.
- Business payments reduce the daily limit on the date that they are set up regardless of the future date of the transaction.
- The maximum amount for an immediate transfer is your remaining daily limit, and the maximum amount for a future dated transfer is the full amount of your daily limit.
- If there is an insufficient amount of your daily limit remaining on the date that the transaction actually occurs, the transaction will usually be rejected on that date, and you will receive a notification of the failure by secure message through internet banking.
How Daily Limits Affect Two to Sign Accounts
- When a transaction which is subject to a daily limit is set-up under a two to sign authority, the limit will be deducted from the person who sets up the transaction. The limit of the person approving the transaction won't be affected.
Profiles
Note if you're currently a Budget Tracker user and you wish to utilise profiles, due to technical constraints, you'll no longer be able to use Budget Tracker once 2 or more profiles are created. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Profiles help you group your accounts for more effective Internet banking. For example, you could group your personal accounts in one profile, and have your business accounts in another profile.
This way, you only see the accounts that are relevant to a particular group or purpose. If you do not need to group your accounts then the default profile can be used to view all of your accounts.
Profiles may also have separate and different email addresses from the original default email addresses provided to further assist you to manage your Internet banking needs.
When you first start using Internet banking, you are given a default profile.
You can create up to 10 profiles with a maximum of 20 accounts linked to each profile. An account can be added to more than one profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Security Token?
How does it work?
Do I use the code displayed by the Security Token instead of my password when I log on?
What happens if I need to log on, but don't have my Security Token with me?
What if I lose my Security Token?
Do I have to use my Security Token every time I log on or just sometimes?
How do I activate my Security Token?
Does my Security Token replace my External Transfer Password?
What is a Security Token?
Suncorp's Security Token is a service that adds an additional layer of security to your Internet Banking account. When logging onto Internet Banking, you will be asked to enter a six-digit numeric code, known as your token code, after your Customer ID and Password. The token code is provided by your Security Token, a key-chain sized device that generates a new number every 60 seconds.
How does it work?
When logging into your account, you will be prompted to enter your six-digit token code after your normal Customer ID and Password.
The six-digit number is provided by your Suncorp Security Token, a key-chain sized device that generates a new number every 60 seconds. It is like an unpredictable password that is good for only one use and then automatically changes itself.
You will need to enter your unique token code each time you log into your Internet Banking account. This way even if your password falls into the wrong hands your account is not at risk, because your account cannot be accessed without the Security Token code.
Do I use the code displayed by the Security Token instead of my password when I log on?
No, your Security Token provides an additional layer of security on top of your existing login process of entering a Customer ID and normal Password.
What happens if I need to log on, but don't have my Security Token with me?
If you need to access your account but do not have your Security Token with you, please contact our Customer Service Team on 13 11 75.
What if I lose my Security Token?
If you lose your Security Token, simply contact our Customer Service Team on 13 11 75 and they can assist you with reordering a replacement. They can also provide you with a temporary code that can be used in place of the Security Token, until your replacement token arrives.
Do I have to use my Security Token every time I log on or just sometimes?
Once you activate your Security Token, each time you log onto your account, you will be prompted to enter the currently displayed six-digit token code after you enter your Customer ID and Password. It is the consistency of having to provide this token code that is unpredictable and unique to you that makes this added layer of security so strong.
How do I activate my Security Token?
To activate your Security Token, log onto Internet Banking as you normally would. Once you are logged into your account, click on the security menu and select activate security token. You will then be prompted to follow some simple steps to complete the activation of your Security Token. You should then be able to use your Security Token within only a few moments.
Does my Security Token replace my External Transfer Password?
Yes, your Security Token will replace the need to enter your External Transfer Password (ETP). This will occur the moment you activate your Security Token.

Transfer to Overseas Account (Global Payment)
You can transfer funds to an overseas account using a Telegraphic Transfer set up in the Internet Banking Global Payments system
What is a Telegraphic Transfer?
A Telegraphic Transfer is an electronic transfer of funds to an overseas account at another financial institution. The person who holds the account being credited is called the 'recipient'.
What accounts can I use to make a Telegraphic Transfer?
Most Suncorp transaction, savings and business accounts can be used to make a Telegraphic Transfer.
It is not possible to make a Telegraphic Transfer from an Everyday Options Sub Account, eOptions Account, Credit Card, Home Loan, Personal Loan, Term Deposit, Trust Account or multi operated accounts which require more than one signature to operate.
What is an exchange rate?
The exchange rate refers to the rate that Suncorp will use to convert your Australian dollars into a foreign currency and is subject to alteration without notice.
The exchange rates for available currencies can also be found on the Suncorp website under Banking - Foreign Currency - Foreign Exchange Rates.
What Currencies can be sent as a Telegraphic Transfer?
The only currencies that can be sent are listed in the drop down box in the first Global Payments screen under Transaction Details. These currencies and applicable exchange rates can also be found on the Suncorp website under Banking - Foreign Currency - Foreign Exchange Rates.
Alternatively you may choose to send the payment in Australian Dollars in which case the funds are converted to the local currency by the receiving bank.
To which countries can I send a Telegraphic Transfer?
You will be unable to send a Telegraphic Transfer to a country that is affected by a sanction.
For more information about sanctioned countries please visit www.austrac.gov.au or www.rba.gov.au
What are International Sanctions?
International Sanctions are penalties, including economic, diplomatic, trade and military sanctions, applied by one country (or group of countries) on another for a variety of reasons.
Economic sanctions include, but are not limited to, tariffs, trade barriers, import duties, and import or export quotas. Should a relevant sanction preventing the transaction apply to the country you are trying to send your payment to, an error message will generate to advise that you cannot proceed.

Setting Up Global Payments
What is an IBAN?
The International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is a series of letters and numbers that uniquely identifies an account held at an overseas bank. An IBAN is not a new bank account number but a way of representing account numbers in an internationally recognised standard format.
If you have been provided an IBAN for the intended payment recipient always enter it in the recipient account number field. An IBAN is a mandatory requirement when sending payments to certain European and United Kingdom countries.
All IBANs start with a two (2) letter country code and contain between sixteen (16) and thirty-four (34) letters and numbers. The length of an IBAN will differ depending on the country, but its length must be fixed for any given country.
Why are IBAN's mandatory for some transfers?
The European Payments Council stipulated that from January 1 2007, the use of the Recipient's IBAN is mandatory on all payments within the European Union or to a European Economic Area.
The Global Payments system will remind you to enter an IBAN if you are sending funds to a recipient that requires one.
How do I obtain an IBAN?
If an IBAN is mandatory for your payment you will need to request it from the payment recipient. IBAN and SWIFT codes are often displayed on recipient's bank statements in European Union countries.
Alternatively, the payment recipient may obtain the IBAN from their bank. Suncorp can not provide an IBAN.
What is a SWIFT code?
A SWIFT code is the unique identification code of a particular bank. These codes are used when transferring money between banks for international transfers. It indicates which bank a payment is to be sent. Bank identifier codes are commonly known as SWIFT (or BIC) codes.
A SWIFT code is a standard format code which is comprised of eight (8) or eleven (11) letters or numbers. The SWIFT code can be a bank's general head office code, or relate to a bank's individual branch or department.
How do I obtain a SWIFT code?
The recipient's bank can provide the appropriate SWIFT code in order to enable an international payment to reach the overseas account. The SWIFT codes can sometimes also be found on the recipient's bank account statements.
What is a Fedwire/ABA code?
A Fedwire (or ABA) code is also commonly known as a Routing number. It is a bank code used in the United States, which identifies financial institutions. This code is also used to process automated transfers and other transactions. Fedwire/ABA codes are always nine (9) digits in length.
How do I obtain a Fedwire/ABA code?
If a Fedwire/ABA code is mandatory for your international payment you should request this from the payment Recipient. This code is often displayed on customer's bank statements in the United States of America. The payment recipient may also obtain the Fedwire/ABA code from their bank.
Alternatively you can attempt to establish the correct Fedwire/ABA code for your payment by searching the American Federal Reserve routing directory http://www.fededirectory.frb.org/search.cfm.
Suncorp staff are not able to provide any details relating to Fedwire/ABA codes.
IMPORTANT - Please note that the success of the payment is dependent upon the correct Fedwire/ABA code being used.
What is a SORT code?
Sort codes are a unique identifier of the individual branch or bank office where a bank account is held. Sort codes are mandatory when sending a Telegraphic Transfer to the United Kingdom.
A UK sort code should consist of six (6) digits entered as 000000, 00-00-00 or 00 00 00.
Only these formats are acceptable to Suncorp.
How do I obtain a SORT code?
If a Sort code is mandatory for your payment you will need to request this from the payment recipient.

Sending Global Payments
What does SWIFT mean?
Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication.
How does SWIFT work?
SWIFT operates a worldwide financial messaging network. Messages, including payment instructions are securely exchanged between financial institutions.
When does an Intermediary Bank need to be used?
An Intermediary Bank needs to be used when you are sending any currency other than the local currency to the destination country. As Australia is the only country where Australian Dollars is the local currency, all Australian dollar payments must be forwarded via an Australian Intermediary Bank. The Intermediary Bank cannot be the same as the Beneficiary Bank specified. An online Telegraphic Transfer cannot be made to Suncorp, nor can Suncorp be used as an Intermediary.
When are online Telegraphic Transfers processed?
Telegraphic Transfers performed on a weekend, or after approximately 3pm AEST time on a bank business day, will be processed the following bank business day.
What are the transaction limits and restrictions for an online Telegraphic Transfer?
You can complete a Telegraphic Transfer online and transfer up to AUD $20,000 - 24 hours a day and amounts between AUD $20,000 to AUD $50,000 during normal business hours.
The maximum amount that can be transferred within a 48 hour period is AUD $100,000.
How long will my transfer take to reach the recipient?
Under normal circumstances your money should arrive at the overseas bank of the recipient within two (2) to five (5) business days. However, we cannot guarantee this timeframe as there may be delays due to circumstances beyond Suncorp's control including international public/bank holidays and the banking practices of the overseas bank or country.
What do I do if the recipient claims they haven't received the funds?
You should ensure that the:
- Recipient is aware that the amount received may have been credited on a different date and/or for a lesser amount (due to bank charges) than expected.
- Recipient confirms that the original payment instructions provided were correct.
If after the above, you still believe the funds have not been received you should contact the Suncorp Banking Call Centre on 13 11 75 (International customers please phone 61 7 3362 2222) and request a Transfer Trace. A fee of AUD $30.00 will apply and the trace is initiated on a 'best efforts basis'. Suncorp is reliant upon other banks to action and respond therefore we can not guarantee timeframes or results.
What happens to my Telegraphic Transfer if I have submitted invalid information?
If you are aware that your payment instructions contained invalid details you should contact the Suncorp Banking Call Centre on 13 11 75 (International customers please phone 61 7 3362 2222) as soon as possible to request a Transfer Amendment.
It is likely that invalid payment instructions will delay or prevent the payment being processed by the overseas bank/s. For a fee of AUD $30.00, Suncorp can send a message advising the amended details to the banks involved in your transfer. Suncorp is reliant upon the other banks however to action the request and can not guarantee timeframes or its success.
What are the additional costs?
Other financial institutions involved in the transfer of funds may seek reimbursement for their services by way of fees which may be debited from the payment. Suncorp can not advise what fees may be charged by other financial institutions.

View Bills - BPAY View®
In this section...
General Overview
BPAY View is a way for you to receive and view your bills online as an alternative to through the post. It allows you to track and view your bills as they are received.
BPAY View can be accessed from the left menu.
You must register for each bill you want to receive online. Suncorp passes registration requests on to the biller, who will process it within 3 working days.
When you login to internet banking, you will be notified of new responses from your billers, and any new bills since you last logged in.
When your registration is complete, your biller will send future bills online. Most billers will no longer send you paper bills.
It's easy to pay the bills using BPAY, but you do not have to pay them online. For example you could use phone banking or send a cheque to the biller if you prefer.
You can print a copy of your bill or save it electronically for your records if you wish.
You are allowed to register a bill with more than one provider of BPAY View. Eg you register your rates bill at Suncorp and then at another bank. This will result in electronic bills being sent to both.
If you do this, you are responsible for tracking which bills you have paid.
Definitions
Biller: The organisation who currently sends you periodic bills. For example your local council rates, your electricity supplier, or your telephone.
Bill: A specific account or service you have with your biller. For example you may have landline telephone and a mobile phone account with one biller. These are separate bills.
Bill Summary: An invoice from your biller. For example your landline telephone bill for March. You usually receive numerous Bill Summaries for each bill.
return to top
Registering for your first bill
To find out if your biller offers the BPAY View service, a search tool is provided.
You need to register separately for each bill that you wish to receive via Bpay View.
The first time you register a biller you will need to accept the Terms and Conditions. Each biller requires certain information from you as part of the registration process to validate you as their customer. You will need to have a previous bill handy when you begin registration.
Once you have supplied the necessary information, please check that it is correct before submitting it. Suncorp will then send your registration request to your biller.
A response from the biller should be received within 2 working days to your registration request. The status' for each registration request can be viewed on the biller details screen.
return to top
Check Bill Registration Status
At any time you can check to see how each of your registration requests are progressing by going to the 'biller details' screen.
All your bill registrations are shown here.
Each bill registration has a status. These can be Active, Pending, Rejected, Deactivating or Deactivated.
For all active bill registrations, you will be able to amend your custom name. The notification method can be changed when status is Active and your Biller does not need to provide you with a mandatory email.
The initial status of your registration is Pending. Once your biller has processed the request, the status will change to Active or Rejected. The biller will usually provide a short explanation if the status is Rejected.
If you or the biller request to opt-out of BPAY View, the status will become Deactivating.
You can change some details of active bills from this screen.
- The custom name can be changed.
- The notification method (this cannot be changed for some bills)
To de-register an active bill, click Delete.
If a registration request is rejected, you can retry this registration.

Notification of a New Electronic Bill
There are two options for notification of Bpay View bill summaries:
- Login only. If a bill summary has arrived since you last logged into Internet banking a notice will appear on your welcome screen advising that a new bill summary has arrived.
- Email and login. An email will be sent to your primary Internet banking email address for all new bill summaries received for this bill registration. You will also receive messages at your next Internet banking login screen.
Some bills may require mandatory email notification to meet a Biller's legal obligations, and you will not be allowed to choose option a). For all other bills Suncorp offers you a choice of either option.
If you change the address for notification emails, your primary Internet banking email address will also change. If you do change your email address you will need to inform us to continue receiving bill notifications.

Managing your Bill Summaries
When you are notified about a new bill, you can go directly to the Bill Summaries screen. You can also go there from the menu at the left of Internet Banking at any time.
This screen shows the most recent bill received at the top of the screen. You also have the option to sort by bill due date if you prefer.
Each line shows summary information for a bill. To see more details, click on the Bill description or the action "View additional bill information".
Bills will remain in this list until the expiry date (determined by your biller).

Bill Reminders
If your biller sends a bill reminder or bill override these will be displayed with a 
red information symbol.
- Bill overrides will replace the original bill summary.
- Bill reminders will be displayed in addition to the original bill summary.
return to top
Bill Archiving
All bill summaries received by Suncorp will remain accessible via either your bill summary or bill archive screen until the bill expiry date. The bill expiry date is set by the biller and is not the same as the bill due date. Bill summaries will usually be accessible until the next bill arrives.
There will be no notification of bill summaries being removed from either of these screens. Management of bills for payment or record keeping purposes is your responsibility. If you need a copy of an expired bill, you must contact your biller. Some billers may charge for this service.
If you have archived a bill in error you do have the option to move this bill back to Bill summaries under the "Action" column.

There may be additional requirements for business BPAY® customers. Please contact the ATO or your tax adviser if you require more information.
