Payment on Hold
Important information about changes to Osko fast payments
Notice of upcoming changes to our Terms & Conditions
Effective from 18 March 2025, Suncorp Bank will be making changes to its Terms and Conditions to include a right for us to hold or delay processing payments that we consider, acting reasonably, are of a higher risk, together with other related changes. A list of impacted Terms and Conditions and an explanation of the changes we will be making to them are set out below.
What payments might be put on hold?
From 18 March 2025, when you send an Osko fast payment via the Suncorp Bank App or Internet Banking, the payment may be put on hold or delayed in certain circumstances. This means it won’t be processed by us immediately or received by the payee in near real time.
Why are we making this change?
Scammers are devising more sophisticated techniques to defraud customers. They often move funds in real time using Osko enabled accounts. This can make it more difficult to recover funds once they have left your account.
To help protect you and us against scams, fraud or other illegal conduct, from 18 March 2025 we may temporarily hold or delay payments that we reasonably consider are of a higher risk, such as certain payments you make to a new payee.
We will notify you when a payment you have initiated is placed on hold. This may also give you more time to consider if you have been involved in a scam and to cancel the payment if necessary.

Note: the changes we will be making to clause 13.1.(1) of the Suncorp Bank App Terms and Conditions and clause 7.1) of the Internet Banking Terms and Conditions may result in an increase in the “transaction limit” applicable to future dated, recurring and held payments when made using the Suncorp Bank App or Internet Banking. These changes may increase your liability in the case of unauthorised transactions.
