Suncorp Bank Secured App Terms and Conditions and Licence Agreement

Effective 9 April 2024

We have amended these Suncorp Bank Secured App Terms and Conditions and Licence Agreement to change the name of the App from Suncorp Bank Secured App to the Suncorp Bank Secured App 

1. Introduction

Suncorp Bank Secured App is a Security Token application that generates Security Token Codes that may be required to authenticate a transaction request or non-financial action (such as a password change) in Internet Banking (“Internet Banking”) and Suncorp Bank App. Suncorp Bank Secured App Security Token Codes may be also required when authorising to share Suncorp Bank data with an Accredited Data Recipient through Consumer Data Right (Open Banking). Together with the Internet Banking Terms and Conditions, Suncorp Bank App Terms and Conditions and your Account Terms and Conditions, these Suncorp Bank Secured App Terms and Conditions and Licence Agreement (“Terms and Conditions”) form a legal contract between you, Suncorp-Metway Limited (“Us” or “Suncorp”), and Suncorp Corporate Services Pty Ltd in relation to your use of Suncorp Bank Secured App.  

In order to use Suncorp Bank Secured App, you must accept these Terms and Conditions. It is therefore important that you read and understand these Terms and Conditions. Where inconsistent, these Terms and Conditions will override the Internet Banking Terms and Conditions  and Suncorp Bank App Terms and Conditions. Capitalised terms that are undefined in these Terms and Conditions take their meaning from the Internet Banking Terms and Conditions and Suncorp Bank App Terms and Conditions.

2. Eligibility

In order to register for Suncorp Bank Secured App, you will need to;

a. be registered for the Suncorp Bank App, or Internet Banking; and

b. have an eligible mobile device.

Suncorp Bank Secured App can only be used on one mobile device. A user can only have one token active at any time.

3. Fees and Charges

Using Suncorp Bank Secured App will not incur any additional fees charged by Suncorp Bank.

You may incur charges from your internet and/or mobile service provider for downloading and using Suncorp Bank Secured App and for using Mobile Banking and Internet Banking. Any such charges are your sole responsibility and any matter regarding these charges should be raised with your mobile service provider.

4. Mobile device not present

You won’t be able to use the Suncorp Bank Secured App if you do not have your mobile device.

If you require a security token urgently, you can contact Us on 13 11 55 (or from overseas on +61 7 3362 1712) and request an emergency token code. This can be used for Internet Banking only.

5. Deregistering from Suncorp Bank Secured App or changing your mobile device

If you wish to deregister from Suncorp Bank Secured App, you can do so via the Suncorp Bank Secured App by selecting Deactivate Token located in the settings menu. Alternatively, you can contact us on 13 11 55 and request to deregister from Suncorp Bank Secured App.

Removing Suncorp Bank Secured App from your mobile device will not deregister Suncorp Bank Secured App from Internet Banking or Suncorp Bank App. In this instance, Internet Banking or Suncorp Bank App may still request a Security Token Code for certain Transactions and you may not be able to complete Transactions without Suncorp Bank Secured App.

If you do not complete the de-registration process and you are requested to enter a Security Token Code, you are able to call Suncorp Bank on 13 11 55 (or from overseas on +61 7 3362 1712) to request assistance. Suncorp Bank will not be liable for any delay or failure to process your Transaction as a result of you not completing the de-registration process.

If you change your mobile device and wish to continue using Suncorp Bank Secured App, you’ll need to download Suncorp Bank Secured App on the new device and when you successfully register on the new device, Suncorp Bank Secured App on the old device will be deregistered.
