Suncorp Bank App FAQs
Getting Started
The Suncorp Bank App is for Suncorp Bank customers. It allows you to get your home, car, money and life sorted, all in one place.

Once it’s downloaded, you can easily register. View our FAQ on ‘How to register for the Suncorp Bank App'.
First, you’ll need to download the app from your app store. Once it’s downloaded, you can easily register by entering a few bits of information.
The exact info you’ll need depends on whether you’re a new or existing customer.
Accessibility

Yes, you can download and access the app when you’re travelling overseas.
Security
The Suncorp Bank App uses a range of security features including real-time fraud detection, security encryption and multi-factor authentication.
Financial information which is accessed using your device is not stored within the app at any time. You can choose to store your Customer ID within the app, however this is encrypted when not in use and access to your account will still require a valid PIN, passcode or biometric to be provided.

If you have registered for the Suncorp Bank Secured App, you will be asked to enter a Security Token Code when first registering for the Suncorp Bank App. You won’t need to use a Security Token Code to login after this, but as an added layer of security you may be asked for one to complete certain transactions.
If you are a Physical Security Token user, you will only be able to use this with Internet Banking and will be required to enter a token code every time you log in.

New Payments Platform (NPP) and Fast Payments via Osko
You can make an Osko fast payment from most Suncorp Bank personal and business accounts to another eligible account* by using a BSB and account number or a PayID (PayID is available for personal accounts only).
Just transfer money as you usually would, and Osko will be enabled automatically, sending your funds in under a minute.
Osko fast payments are subject to withdrawal limits. Find out more about our online banking withdrawal and transaction limits.
If you transfer funds between your own Suncorp Bank accounts by using a PayID these will count towards your transaction and daily limits. However, no withdrawal limits will apply to transfers between your own Suncorp Bank accounts when using a BSB and account number.
If an Osko payment exceeds one of these limits you’ll be prompted to generate a Security Token via the Suncorp Bank Secured App as an extra precautionary measure. Learn more about using Security Token codes.
You can make Osko fast payments using the Suncorp Bank App and Internet Banking if your account is Osko eligible and the recipient has an Osko enabled account.
When making an Osko fast payment, you can enter up to 280 characters and including emojis, as the payment description, except when made by staff assisted withdrawal. You can see the full description in the Suncorp Bank App. However, when checking the description in Internet Banking and your account statements, you may notice shorter descriptions with spaces or question marks replacing special characters and emojis.
In addition to personalised messages, Osko payments can include additional information such as a reference number or invoice number in the optional Reference field. When it’s included by the sender, the details can be seen in transaction details in the Suncorp Bank App and Internet Banking.
Our FAQ, “What is the New Payments Platform (NPP) and Osko fast payments, and how do they work?" explains the circumstances when Osko fast payments are usually available. If that FAQ doesn’t answer your question then here are some other reasons why your payment may not be able to be sent as an Osko fast payment.
- Suncorp Bank only sends fast payments and payments to a PayID via Osko. Your recipient’s account may be able to receive fast payments or payments to a PayID but not via Osko. Therefore, you won’t be able to make a fast payment to that recipient or pay to their PayID. Using Osko provides Suncorp Bank with more certainty that your fast payment will be received in under a minute.
- Future-dated, recurring payments and Business Payment Credits aren’t eligible for fast payments via Osko.
- If you transfer money to another Suncorp Bank account (including your own Suncorp Bank account) by using a BSB and account number the transfer will not be sent as an Osko payment but will be processed by us immediately.
If you’re unsure and require further information take a look at the Osko section in our Terms and Conditions for Suncorp Bank Accounts and Continuing Credit Accounts.
PayID
A PayID is a unique identifier of an account holder, such as a mobile phone number and email address or an ABN and ACN (for business accounts only), which can be linked to an account to receive payments made through the New Payments Platform (NPP) or Osko.
That means, if your account is Osko eligible and you need to pay someone who’s created a PayID, you don’t have to chase up their BSB and account number – they can simply provide you their PayID and you can pay them that way. A person can then make an Osko or NPP payment to your PayID instead of a BSB and account number, if they are permitted to do so by their financial institution.
Please refer to the Product Information Document or Schedule of Fees and Charges applicable to your account to see if your account is Osko eligible or if you are able to link it to a PayID.
For personal accounts
You can create a PayID and link it to your eligible Suncorp Bank personal account by using the Suncorp Bank App. To create a PayID in connection with a personal account you must accept our PayID Terms and Conditions.
You may only create a PayID in connection with a personal account if you are an Account holder. Individuals who have been authorised by an account holder to operate or access a personal account will not be able to create and link a PayID in relation to that account.
To create a PayID for a personal account via the Suncorp Bank App:
- Login to the App, click on the ‘cog wheel’ at the top left corner of the Accounts screen and select ‘PayID’.
- Tap ‘Create PayID’, read and accept the PayID Terms and Conditions, and choose your eligible mobile number or email address to register for PayID.
- Select the account to link your PayID with, confirm your details, and tap ‘Create PayID’.
- A one-time verification code will be sent to you. Enter the verification code, tap ‘Next’, and then a message will pop up saying that your PayID has been created successfully.
To pay someone using their PayID in the Suncorp Bank App:
- Open the Suncorp Bank App and tap the ‘Transfer’ icon in the menu bar at the bottom of the screen.
- Select ‘Pay Someone’.
- Select the account you wish to transfer funds from.
- Tap ‘+ Select Account’ and then tap the ‘+’ icon on the bottom right-hand side.
- Select either Phone Number, Email, ABN or ACN, or Organisation ID.
- Add the payee details or select from contacts. Click ‘Next’.
- We’ll then verify with the NPP the PayID you’ve provided to us and advise who it is registered to for your confirmation. You will need to ensure that the PayID and the associated name are correct, as incorrect details could result in payment to the wrong account and the loss of your funds.
For business accounts
For eligible business accounts, you can create a PayID via Internet Banking, by calling us on 13 11 75 or visiting a Suncorp Bank branch.If you create a PayID in connection with a business account the applicable terms and conditions are set out in the “PayID” section of the Business Account Product Information Document or Schedule of Fees and Charges for Other Suncorp Bank Business Accounts, as applicable to your account.
You may only create a PayID in connection with a business account if you have one of the following relationships to the account:
- Signing Officer

- Primary Owner
- Secondary Owner
- Trustee
- Power of Attorney

- Click ‘+ New Payee’ and then click the PayID tab.

- We’ll then verify with the NPP the PayID you’ve provided to us and advise who it is registered to for your confirmation. You will need to ensure that the PayID and the associated name are correct, as incorrect details could result in payment to the wrong account and the loss of your funds.
It’s important to note that not all banks and financial institutions permit their customers to have a PayID or to pay to a PayID.
Rather than using a PayID, we suggest you do the following instead:
In the Suncorp Bank App:
- Use the “Transfer” payment option with a BSB and account number to make payments between your Suncorp Bank accounts.
In Internet Banking:
- Use the “My Accounts Transfer” options to make payments between your Suncorp Bank accounts.
The “Transfer” and “My Account Transfer” options are the easiest way to transfer money between your own Suncorp Bank accounts, with no withdrawal limit and immediate processing.
If you’ve sent a payment to the wrong PayID, please contact us or send us a secure message via Internet Banking. Learn more about secure messages.
As a security measure to protect the customer data of all financial institutions, PayID ‘look ups’ are limited to a certain number. If you’ve reached your limit, you can still make a payment using a BSB and account number, or wait until the next day when your limit is reset.
No. PayID is an alternative identifier, like an email address or mobile number, which can be linked to an account to receive payments made through the NPP or Osko. You can now provide your PayID or BSB and account number when you need to get paid.
It’s important to note that not all banks and financial institutions allow their customers to have a PayID or pay to a PayID.

For example, you could link both an email address and a mobile phone number PayID to the same account, or you could link an email address PayID to one account and a mobile phone number PayID to another account.
If your account is a joint account, you and each other joint account holder can each create a separate PayID for the account.
Payments made to your PayID should arrive into your account generally within a minute of being sent. If you’re sure the person paying you used the correct PayID, ask them to contact their financial institution.

Payment on Hold
To help protect you and us against scams, fraud and other illegal conduct we may temporarily hold or delay payments you’ve initiated in Internet Banking or the Suncorp Bank App which we reasonably consider are of a higher risk, such as certain payments to a new payee.
In most cases, a held payment will be released for processing, be cancelled or fail within 24 hours or less. For information go to “How long will a ‘payment on hold’ be held?”
We may hold a payment for our own security reasons. However, the hold period also gives you an opportunity to consider if the payment could relate to a scam. Please contact us promptly if you’re concerned about any payment you think could be related to a scam.
We will notify you if your payment is cancelled during the hold period. If the payment is released from the hold we will notify you if it has been processed successfully or not and if your account has been debited. Until you receive this notification, please ensure you have sufficient funds and withdrawal limits available in your account. For more information go to “How do held payments affect Daily Limits, Transaction Limits, Personal Limits and Account Limits?”.
Security threats and what we consider to be “higher risk” could change over time. The reasons why we may hold a payment will reflect this. We may hold a payment for a range of security reasons. For example, certain payments to a new payee are more likely to be considered higher risk and held by us. We may contact you during the hold period if we need more information about a payment.
Please contact us promptly if you’re concerned about any payment you think could be related to a scam.
No, you don't need to do anything. Suncorp Bank will automatically hold payments that meet our security criteria. We'll let you know each time a payment is held.
Where we hold a payment you make via the Suncorp Bank App or Internet Banking, you won’t see a payment confirmation on screen. Instead, you’ll see a screen within the Suncorp Bank App or Internet Banking (as applicable) which informs you that the payment is being held and in most cases it will be processed, cancelled or fail within 24 hours or less. We’ll also notify you through Suncorp Bank App notifications (if applicable) and Internet Banking secure messages. You may also receive an email notification.
When a payment is on hold, it will be visible in your list of ‘Scheduled payments’, which is accessible from the Suncorp Bank App’s main Accounts screen. You will not be able to view the held payment status within Internet Banking, even if that is how you made the payment.
Please contact us promptly if you’re concerned about any payment you think could be related to a scam.
When a payment on hold has been cancelled, processed or failed, we’ll notify you via Suncorp Bank App notifications (if applicable) and Internet Banking secure messages. You may also receive an email notification. Once this happens the held payment should no longer appear in your list of ‘Scheduled payments’ in the Suncorp Bank App.
If the payment has been processed successfully, we’ll let you know your account has been debited. Until you receive this notification, please ensure you have sufficient funds and withdrawal limits available in your account. For more information go to “How do held payments affect Daily Limits, Transaction Limits, Personal Limits and Account Limits?”.
If we cannot process a held payment for any reason, you’ll receive a Suncorp Bank App notification (if applicable) and a secure message in Internet Banking informing you that the transaction was unsuccessful. You may also receive an email notification. These notifications will provide information about what you should do next.
Please contact us promptly if you’re concerned about any payment you think could be related to a scam.
When a payment is placed on hold, in most cases it will be released for processing, cancelled or fail within 24 hours or less.
Held payments will be debited from your account when the payment is released and processed.
You will need to ensure you have sufficient funds and withdrawal limits available until the held payment is processed. For more information go to “How do held payments affect Daily Limits, Transaction Limits, Personal Limits and Account Limits?”
Please contact us promptly if you’re concerned about any payment you think could be related to a scam.
You can cancel a payment while it is on hold for any reason. Just look for it in your list of ‘Scheduled payments’, which is accessible from the Suncorp Bank App’s Accounts screen. Tap on the payment and follow the simple steps to cancel it.
You will not be able to cancel a held payment within Internet Banking, even if you used Internet Banking to make it. If you do not have the Suncorp Bank App you can call us on 13 11 75 to cancel a held payment.
Please contact us promptly if you’re concerned about any payment you think could be related to a scam.
In most cases, a held payment will be released for processing, cancelled or fail within 24 hours or less.
Held payments cannot be released early unless there are exceptional circumstances. If you believe your circumstances require an early release of the payment hold, please contact us and we will consider your request. A decision to release a held payment early will be at our absolute discretion.
Cancelling a held ‘Pay Someone’ payment and re-sending it may still result in the re-sent payment being placed on hold.
For more information, please contact us.
If you can’t see a held payment in your list of ‘Scheduled payments’ in the Suncorp Bank App, that means it has been successfully processed, cancelled or it failed upon processing.
We will notify you when we debit your account and process a held payment, or if the payment has been cancelled or failed. In most cases, this will happen within 24 hours or less.
The payment may also be visible in your account transaction history.
If a held payment is not visible in either your ‘Scheduled payments’ or transaction history and you have not received a notification, please contact us.
A held payment could fail upon its release for a number of reasons which might include:
- Insufficient funds in your account.
- It would have resulted in a Daily, Personal or Account Limit being exceeded.
- The receiving account may be closed, blocked or does not accept transfers.
- For payments to a PayID, the PayID may no longer be registered, be locked or the PayID Name attached to the PayID has changed since you initiated the payment.
- Technical issues within the payment network.
You should receive a notification via Suncorp Bank App notifications (if applicable) and Internet Banking secure messages advising you why a payment was unsuccessful and what next steps you should take. You may also receive an email notification. If you don’t receive a notification or for other support, please contact us.
Held payments will be debited from your account when the payment is released from the hold and processed.
You will need to ensure you have sufficient funds and withdrawal limits available until the held payment is processed. For more information go to “How do held payments affect Daily Limits, Transaction Limits, Personal Limits and Account Limits?”
Please contact us promptly if you’re concerned about any payment you think could be related to a scam.
If you make unintended duplicate payments, you can cancel a duplicate payment while it is still on hold in the Suncorp Bank App.
Look for the duplicate payments on hold in your list of ‘Scheduled payments’, which is accessible from the Suncorp Bank App’s Accounts screen. Tap on the duplicate held payment(s) and follow the simple steps to cancel them.
Please contact us promptly if you’re concerned about any payment you think could be related to a scam.
If upon release of your held payment for processing, we identify that it is being sent to an account that cannot receive Osko fast payments, we’ll attempt to send the funds using an alternative payment system.
In this instance, your payment description will be modified to the first 18 alpha-numeric characters and exclude any emojis, special or foreign characters. Anything in the Reference field will also be removed.
In addition, funds sent via the alternative payment system will usually be received by the recipient within 1 to 2 business days after the hold has been removed and we process it.
If we release a held ‘Pay Someone’ payment, it will normally be processed as an Osko fast payment via the New Payments Platform (NPP). However, if we identify that the held payment is being made to an account that cannot receive Osko fast payments we’ll attempt to send the funds via an alternative payment system that does not support long descriptions, emojis, special or foreign characters or the Reference field.
As a result, your payment description will be modified to the first 18 alpha-numeric characters and exclude any emojis, special characters or foreign characters. Anything in the Reference field will also be removed.
Please contact us promptly if you’re concerned about any payment you think could be related to a scam.
If we release a held ‘Pay Someone’ payment, it will normally be processed as an Osko fast payment via the New Payments Platform (NPP). However, if we identify that the held payment is being made to an account that cannot receive Osko fast payments, we’ll attempt to send the funds via an alternative payment system.
Funds sent via the alternative payment system will usually be received by the recipient within 1 to 2 business days after the hold has been removed and we process it.
You will know if a payment was sent via the alternative payment system because your payment receipt and transaction history will not describe it as an ‘OSKO PAYMENT’.
Please contact us promptly if you’re concerned about any payment you think could be related to a scam.
Daily Limit, Personal Limit and Account Limit: A payment on hold will count towards your Daily Limit, Personal Limit and Account Limit on the day it is processed by us, not the day you initiate the payment. Therefore, until your held payment is processed, please ensure you have enough Daily, Personal and Account Limit available to allow the held payment to be processed, otherwise it may be rejected.
If a held payment exceeds your Daily, Personal or Account Limit at the time it is processed, you’ll receive a Suncorp Bank App notification (if applicable) and a secure message in Internet Banking informing you that the transaction was unsuccessful. In this case you’ll need to manually send the payment again. Learn more about daily limits.
Transaction Limit: If a held payment exceeds your Transaction Limit at the time you initiate the payment we will require you to input a Security Token Code. However, until it has been processed, it will not count towards the Transaction Limit for the purposes of determining whether a Security Token is required for any subsequent transactions which are processed before the held payment is processed.
We will not require you to input a Security Token at the time the held payment is released and processed, even if it would cause the Transaction Limit to be exceeded on that day.
Confirmation of Payee
Confirmation of Payee is an industry-wide initiative that provides an extra layer of protection for payments to a BSB and account number. It checks the account name, BSB and account number a payer has entered against the details held by the recipient’s bank and lets the payer know whether it’s a match.
This can help payers make informed decisions before making a payment, reducing the risk of scams and mistaken payments.
Confirmation of Payee is an initiative of Australian Payments Plus, the same organisation that also provides trusted payment services like BPAY, Osko, eftpos, PayID and PayTo.
When a payer makes a payment to a BSB and account number, Confirmation of Payee checks the details they’ve entered against the name, BSB and account number held by the recipient’s bank and gives the payer a match outcome. That helps the payer decide what to do next, e.g. continue with payment or check the account details with the recipient – and gives more confidence to the payer that the money they’re paying is going to the right account.
If you are receiving money into a personal account, the person who’s attempting to pay you will be shown your account name only if the name they have entered is a match or a close match. If any of these details are incorrect, your account name will not be shown to protect your privacy.
In some limited circumstances, individuals may request to be opted-out of Confirmation of Payee. More information about opting out can be found here.
If you’re a business or government organisation account that’s receiving a payment, the name of your account will be shown to the payer, regardless of whether it’s a match or not.
Your account name is available on your bank statement, being the name that the statement is addressed to in the top left corner. You may also be able to find your bank statement in the Suncorp Bank App or Internet Banking under “eStatements”.
In some limited circumstances, individuals may request to be opted-out of Confirmation of Payee. This means your account name and match outcome will not be displayed to payers, other than to government agencies for the purposes of them making a payment to you. If you opt-out of Confirmation of Payee this could impact the likelihood of a payer going ahead with a payment to you.
Confirmation of Payee will not commence until 1 May 2025. Therefore, opt-out will not be available until 1 May 2025, as your account details will not be shared for Confirmation of Payee before this date. However, to understand the opt out process, eligibility and the implications, please contact us on 13 11 75 or visit a Suncorp Bank branch.
Absolutely! Please contact us on 13 11 75 to request to opt-in to Confirmation of Payee.
To ensure your name is accurate and appears correctly in Confirmation of Payee, please contact us on 13 11 75 or visit a Suncorp Bank branch.
