Account and Personal Limits

The account owner can apply Account and Personal Limits to an individual business account. This gives the account owner flexibility and control over the value of payment files that can be processed from a particular account and the value of payment files that can be processed by a particular individual with a relationship to an account.
If an account or personal limit has been set, it will always override the daily limit.
If there are no account limits applied to an account then any individual transacting on the account will be restricted by their Internet Banking Daily limit.
Account and personal limits do not count toward your daily limit. Account and personal limits override a daily limit. Eg. An account limit of $50,000.00 will override your daily limit of $20,000.00.

Account Limits

Account Limits are limits applied to an individual account that limit the total dollar value of Business Payment Credit files, external transfers and funds transferred to another Suncorp Bank account that can be processed from the account on a daily basis.
For example, if you place a $20,000.00 account limit of a business account, only $20,000.00 can be transferred via business payments, external transfers and transfers to other Suncorp Bank accounts regardless of the account balance or daily limit set.

Personal Limits

If you choose to apply an Account Limit to your account, you can also have a Personal Limit for each individual relationship holder on an account. This limits the total dollar value of Business Payments Credit files, external transfers and funds transferred to another Suncorp Bank account that the relationship holder can personally authorise from the account on a daily basis.
For example, if you place a personal limit on Simon who works in your office for $5,000.00, Simon can only transfer up to $5,000.00 via business payments, external transfers and transfers to other Suncorp Bank accounts regardless of the account balance or daily limit set.

Applying for a Account and Personal Limit

You can apply for an Account and/or Personal limits for relationship holders by contacting us on 13 11 75 or by visiting a Suncorp Bank branch.
Account and Personal limits can only be applied for by the account owner(s) and are subject to approval by Suncorp Bank. For two to sign accounts the request for an account or personal limit must be given by at least two account owner(s).
If you have an existing Account or Personal limit this can be increased or decreased by the account owner(s) and is subject to approval by Suncorp Bank. For two to sign accounts the request must be given by at least two account owner(s)
Limit applications will take approximately 2 business days to be processed.

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 Bank Account transfers screen, BPAY screen and the External Transfers screen.
All transactions to non-Suncorp Bank accounts, to other Suncorp Bank 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 a Security 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 $50,000 online via Internet Banking. To change your daily limit over $5,000, you'll need to purchase a Suncorp Bank 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 Bank 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 Bank 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 Bank 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 Bank 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 Bank and non-Suncorp Bank 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

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.

Creating a new profile

Select "Manage My Profiles" from the green banner on the top of the page.
Under Create New Profile, enter in a profile name, followed by your preferred primary and secondary email addresses.
Click "Save" and you have created a new profile. Your new profile has no accounts yet, so you need to go to the next section to add accounts to your profile.
If you want to make this your default profile so that the linked accounts appear each time you login, underMaintain Profiles click "Make Default" in the Make Default Profile column.

Changing the active profile

Click the current Active Profile name at the top of the page.
From the drop down list, select the profile you wish to change to.
The accounts in use will now be those linked to the profile you have selected.

Making a profile the default on login

You can select which profile is shown automatically when you login into Internet Banking.

Select "My Details" in the left hand menu then click "Manage My Profiles".
Locate the profile in the Maintain Profiles list that you want shown each time you login, click "Make Default" under the Make Default Profile column.

Deleting a profile

Select "My Details" in the left hand menu then click "Manage My Profiles".
Locate the profile in the Maintain Profiles list you wish to delete and click "Delete". This will update your profile list and the deleted profile will no longer exist.

Adding and removing accounts on your profile

Change your active profile to the profile you wish to add accounts to.
Refer to the Manage My Accounts section for details on how to add and remove accounts from the current profile.

For individual, eligible business accounts, account limits affect how much can be transferred out of the account daily.

Account limits can be any amount that is a multiple of $1,000.

The account limit is independent of your daily limit (see ‘What is a daily limit? <link to FAQ below).  Transactions processed from the business account with an account limit will not affect your daily limit.

Account owners can set up or maintain account limits to eligible business accounts.

Applying an account limit to a specific account allows you to process larger transactions from a single account, whilst not exposing all your business and personal accounts to a large daily limit, increasing your risk.

Unlike your daily limit, account limits are used when a customer performs any form of transaction out of the account the limit is applied to.  This includes transfers to other accounts linked to your Internet Banking.

A Daily Limit is applied to all accounts linked to the Customer ID. Daily limits apply when you process external transfers, business payments, BPAY payments (except BPAY payments to the ATO) and transfers to another Suncorp Bank account not held in your name or business/company name.

Your daily limit will default to $5,000 for all external transfers performed via Internet Banking or via the Suncorp Bank App.

Learn how you can change your daily limit.

A personal limit can be applied to any eligible business account that also has an active account limit.

A personal limit is used to restrict how much of an overall account limit can be accessed by each individual.  It operates the same way as an account limit but restricts individuals with a Customer ID to a lower limit than the account limit.

Whilst a personal limit doesn’t need to be active for an account limit to be applied, an account limit must be present before a personal limit can be applied.

Account owners are able to set up or maintain personal limits to eligible business accounts that have an active account limit.

A personal limit can be any amount in $1,000 increments but must be equal or lower than the account limit.

If an individual has a personal limit on a particular business account, their transactions will be restricted to the personal limit, not the account limit.

If there is no personal limit in place, the account limit will restrict transaction amounts, not the daily limit.

If there is no account limit in place, the daily limit applies.

Increasing your daily limit to $10k, $20k or $50k

You can increase your daily limit to either $10k, $20k or $50k via Internet Banking. You’ll need a Security Token Code (also known as a Suncorp Bank Token, One Time Password or Verification Code) which you can generate using the Suncorp Bank Secured App  . 

• Learn more about the  Suncorp Bank Secured App 
• Download the Suncorp Bank Secured App via Google Play  or the App store 

Here’s how to increase your limit via Internet Banking:

• Select ‘Settings and Security’ in the menu
• If you haven’t already, generate your security token
• In the Security section within ‘Extra Security’ select the ‘Change’ link.
• Nominate your new daily limit in the drop-down selection
• Select the box that you have read and accept terms and conditions
• Click the ‘Submit’ button
• Click ‘Settings & Security’ in the left-hand menu and click ‘Change’ next to the daily limit amount.
• Select your new daily limit from the drop-down menu. If you can’t see different amounts in the drop-down menu, it may mean you haven’t registered for the Suncorp Bank Secured App.
• Open the Suncorp Bank Secured App to generate a new Security Token Code.
• Go back to Internet Banking, enter the newest Security Token Code and click ‘Submit’.
• Agree to the terms and conditions and your new daily limit will now be active until you change it or deregister from the Suncorp Bank Secured App.

Administrators and card holders can only cancel their own card. A Director can cancel any card under the entity’s facility by calling 13 11 75.

With Suncorp Bank Business Credit Cards, there are two types of limits:

Credit Limit – The limit set on the primary account (credit card facility limit).

Spend Limit – The limit available to individual cardholders. Each cardholder's monthly Spend Limit must be less than or equal to the total Credit Limit.

If the outstanding balance across all cards on the credit facility reaches the Credit Limit, no card holder will be able to spend on their card until the outstanding balance is reduced.

For example: XYZ Pty Ltd has a Credit Limit of $10,000. Attached to the primary account is a Director card with a spend limit of $10,000 and two employees each with a spend limit of $10,000. If the two employees spend $5,000 each, the total outstanding balance will be $10,000 (the credit limit). No card holders will be able to transact on their cards until the outstanding balance is reduced.

There are three levels of online access:

• Director Access – view all transactions and statements.
• Administrator Access – view all statements and own card transactions.
• Inquiry Only Access – view all statements.

You can choose how your points are accumulated – either by Business Account Level or Individual Card Level.

1. Business Account Level: The card holder identified as Applicant No. 1 on the application form will earn rewards points for eligible transactions charged to any card linked to the account. Only this individual can redeem points for rewards. A membership fee will be charged to the account.
2. Individual Card Level: Each card holder can opt into a Rewards Program and will earn rewards points for eligible transactions charged to their card. Only the individual card holder can redeem these points for rewards. A membership fee will be charged for each card linked to the account.

To add an additional card holder, complete an Add Additional Business Credit Card Holder Form and return it to any Suncorp Bank branch or your Business Relationship Manager.

Please note: where a new employee is replacing a previous employee, a new card is required to be issued. 

While Administrators must be issued a card and PIN, if the Administrator does not need the physical card (for example, if they only need Internet Banking access).

There are two easy ways to access your points balance and redeem for rewards:

Online: View your points balance and redeem online through Internet Banking.

Phone: Call the Suncorp Bank Rewards Centre on 13 11 75 (Mon-Fri 8:00am – 5:00pm AEST).

You can redeem points as often as you like. You can also view the latest rewards catalogue online.

Least Cost Routing (LCR), also known as ‘lowest cost routing’, ‘low-cost routing’, ‘merchant routing’ or ‘smart routing’ is the industry terminology used to explain the new routing functionality on merchant terminals for scheme (Visa/MasterCard) debit card contactless transactions.  The introduction of least cost routing is to help merchants take steps to ensure that debit card contactless transactions are processed through the lower cost payment channel.

Based on a Merchant’s pricing plan, a Wave & Save Transaction limit** is set to a default position where the transaction amount costs the same to process via both the EFTPOS and Credit Card network.  Scheme debit card contactless transactions valued over the limit will route down the EFTPOS network and you will be charged the debit card fee.

For Existing Suncorp Bank Merchants

Use our Wave & Save Transaction Limit Calculator.

For New merchants

Your Wave and Save Transaction Limit will be calculated based on your new pricing plan with Suncorp Bank.

There are two options to enable Wave & Save on an existing merchant terminal:

1. Head to our Merchant Services page to download the ‘Misc changes to terminal’ form. Complete the form and send to the email address specified.

Or

1. Contact one of our Business Specialists on 13 11 75.

The least cost routing functionality only works with payments made using a physical card. Payments made using a phone or any other device (i.e. a watch), will still be routed via the credit card network.
