Suncorp (Insurance) USED to be excellent, now its just incompetence. I suspect they are now using OS call centres and haven't a clue what they are doing. I have several policies and had to make a claim, after going through the claim process only to find they had registered the claim against the wrong policy. I called back to be told that I would… Read more
have to wait until the next day and someone would call me back who could change it. After waiting they called to say they could only cancel the claim and do another one. I have been through the process twice and provided details and added an authorised persons details only to get a call again later to go through the process again and be told that there was no one listed as authorised except for myself, would I like to add someone. 3x times Suncorp, 3 times now! how many times do we have to do this - incompetent people or processes.
If I could give minus stars it would minus 100. Appalling and disgusting. Having been a Suncorp customer for over 30 years they took away my opportunity to keep my loan of 16 years merely on the basis that my late partners name was to be removed upon discharging my investment property. They’ve completely put me into a financial shortfall because… Read more
they want to take the majority of my settlement to close what could be a stand alone security. I will NEVER bank nor deal with them ever again. All my accounts will be closed business and personal and any other products that affiliates with Suncorp. Do Better Suncorp I will make sure my experience is shared with anyone else that deals with Suncorp to ensure no one else has to deal with this appalling bank.
Have been with Suncorp for many years. Never have I seen a bank fall from grace so fast. From their online service, to their two apps that you basically need to operate your finances with, some what. Wasting our time, all because this system is not working. There is a lack of knowledge of the product, a decline of educated senior staff. If this… Read more
had been the1st or second time I would move on. There is not enough customer service, not enough experienced staff, so I'm afraid we will be moving our business else where. Today it was the over the phone service, and the Morayfield store Qld. Tomorrow it will continue in other branches, after looking at these other reviews. Sandra Jones

Always technical issues, most of the time it's hard to transfer money from Suncorp and I have a big Doubt this has a sufficient money for the customers, I'm going to close my account this Tuesday.
Suncorp bank make things unnecessarily complicated. They want me to use their app (to only collect more data from you) to complete transaction that doesn't involve phone or email verification? I'll be heading to the bank to get my money! Stay away from them!
Suncorp insists to have two apps, one for transaction and another one for token. They don't do authentication via text, email or other means. I raised a complaint against that and they came back saying this how suncorp operates. Now they have started placing holds on my transactions and when enquired, the customer service person says it's a system… Read more
generated random hold! Unbelievable !! Big banks being authoritative on customer's hard earned money is unacceptable! Their systems seem to be outdated.
Don’t get this insurance. I’m trying to get a claim on a leaking roof. My tenants have moved out, the house is unrentable. It’s been 2.5 months and su corp still hasn’t made a decision. On if it’s covered. How would you go with no rent for that long and no end in site. Run far and fast away from Suncorp.
What kind of banking institution makes maintenance updates over the weekend?!?!?! It was supposed to be back up and running an hour and a half ago. I am disabled and need access to my account to eat, ive now not eaten in 2 days. I was on hold to support for 1hr 12mins, only for them to ask me security questions for a further 25mins (had to repeat… Read more
my name and address 3 separate times), only for them to be unable to assist me anyway. There have been countless issues with this bank over the past 20yrs and honestly, this is my final straw. I no longer care how difficult it is, I'm changing banks asap.

Honestly, worst bank ever! Firstly they sold me as a credit card customer to another bank and did not even care to check with us prior. Then they couldn’t tell us if our direct debit to pay the account before interest is applied each month would… Read more
still work. In fact they knew nothing about it and told us to contact the bank they sold us to (who also didn’t know). Then I needed to transfer 20k and called them to ask how. They said I could temporarily increase my daily limit and transfer it automatically via pay id- first lie! I told them I’d transfer it the next day as that’s when I’m picking up the item. I did this and then they put a 24 hour hold on it. I called them and they said it would be ok, if I wait until the evening and call back they can push the transaction through- lie number 2. I confirmed the time of the call, but when I called at that time (while standing at the property of the item being purchased) they said get could not push It through and they just don’t do that. They refused to let me talk to a supervisor. I then asked to make a complaint and was put on hold to “put me through to someone” - lie number 3. They then took me off hold after 20 minutes and said “complaint made”. I asked why I wasn’t put through and they said they did the complaint for me. I asked what the complaint said, and barely got an answer. I asked what will happen next and they said nothing. Nobody will call me back and no changes will be made to their processes or desire to continually lie to customers. I asked what the point of making a complaint is, and they said nothing. The 20 mins on hold was just my punishment for not being happy about their constant lies and terrible customer service. I’m waiting for a term deposit to mature in a few weeks and then we’ll cancel all accounts
Follow-up · Since making a complaint, nobody has called, emailed, or reached out in any way to acknowledge my complaint or do anything about it. However, there have been some changes. For example, my money is now put on a 24 hold for low value transfers (of $5,000) when this never happened before. In fact, if my male partner transfers the exact same value, no… Read more
As a longtime customer I've finally had enough. Locked out of accessing account. Go into branch with documentation that they already had when account first opened. Transferred to another bank & wonder why I didn't wake up sooner. Show details
Follow-up · 27/1/26 Question why transfer to another bank? Suncorp locked my husband & I out of our SMSF with no notice. They have a Secure Message function on internet banking but didn't use it themselves to contact either of us. They posted 3 letters to our obsolete address despite mailing paper statements successfully to our current address. No call nor… Read more
I recently visited your Capalaba branch and was very disappointed with the service I received. There was only one teller available, resulting in a line out the door. To save time, I attempted to make a deposit at the ATM. While the first set of… Read more
deposits processed successfully, the second set became stuck, and the machine issued a receipt stating that a teller was not available. After waiting in line for approximately 30 minutes, I was informed that it could take up to 45 days to resolve this issue. This is completely unacceptable. I understand that errors can occur, but the lack of support and long wait times for assistance reflect very poorly on the bank’s customer service. I hope this matter is resolved quickly and that steps are taken to improve service at this branch.

I was previously a Combank customer for 45 years and changed my personnal and business accounts to Suncorp in 2013 due to the apathy and lack of service I experienced at Combank. I subsequently also moved my SMSF and Trust accounts across in 2018. I do 99% of banking on line and visit the Suncorp branch maybe twice a year when I have something… Read more
outside the bounds of what I can do online. I have always received prompt & helpful service when I visit the branch at Carindale, Qld. Yesterday, I went with my son to Combank because he wanted to transfer a large sum exceeding his transaction limits to my account. This ultimately took 1 hour and 45 minutes, all but 5 minutes of which was waiting for service. They then charged him a fee of $30 for the transaction. I had done a similar transaction with Suncorp to an external account for twice the value that took 5 minutes at the teller and there was no charge. That included a comprehensive check of the process, data and scam risk by a supervisor before finalising the transaction. I left an appropriate negative review for Combank but though it only fair to balance the ledger by acknowledging the good service I have received from Suncorp over the last 13 years.

New account new card.Dont do online anything.Able to use card at 4 major bank ATMs & eftpos so is good.A low use no fees pensioner account only..Very good so far Show details
I have been with Suncorp for over fifteen years. They have always given marvellous service, online and in the branch. The online banking website is very efficient and simple to navigate. I have both the Suncorp mobile app and the security app - both very streamlined, easy to use. They have an account that doesn’t have foreign currency fees! I have… Read more
been to their branches occasionally and the service was prompt and so helpful. Their security is excellent and they spot breaches very fast. I can’t fault them.
Negative reviews
Honestly this is the worst bank I've ever used .. I am a genuine customer of t or more years but I would strongly recommend people to start clear of Suncorp they are a painfull bank due to there constant maintenance issues ..
Without warning suddenly ALL Suncorp bank cards not working !!!! So no way of using our money. Had to leave petrol station without paying!!! Called Suncorp and no help!
I wouldn’t bank with Suncorp if it were the last bank on earth. My recent experience with their Know Your Customer requirements for a body corporate account was one of the most frustrating and threatening experiences I have ever had with a bank. They should be embarrassed; absolutely disgraceful. Suffice to say, we have taken our business elsewhere.

Bullies who engage in Illegal Cohesion, a Disgusting outfit! You can be 100% honest with them, nothing to hide and yet their AEOI team will contact you via email and bully you, threaten to lock your accounts and engage in illegal cohesion to paint you as the problem! It does not matter how much information you give them, it is never good enough! A… Read more
Sham organisation that needs a full audit by the Australian Government! Illegal and unethical banking operation.
Avoid this institution Disgusting behaviour. Controlling what you can and can not purchase. Won't allow you to transfer funds to a seller so we can finalise buy a motor vehicle. How do you expect some one to get a bill of sale if the seller hasn't received the funds . This institution now is now responsible for loss of deposit our . People just take your money out of banks use cash sale. To avoid tirent institution like this. Show details
I would give 0 stars if I could! The only bank I've ever known IN HISTORY that doesn't allow you to access your own transaction history if it is more than 12 months ago!???? I had to ring customer service which was absolutely no help, like ridiculously no help. I had to answer to most st^pid questions even though all ID questions etc were answered… Read more
and I was sitting there with my bank account logged in on my computer and phone app. ALL I needed was to see if there was 1 particular transaction on 1 particular day in 08/2024 and for the life of me it was like pulling teeth out. I ended up hanging up after 15 minutes wasted with no actual answer. I will be cancelling this bank account and using my ING and NAB account as per usual. What a joke!!!
I spoke to a [Name Removed] on the phone as I was having an issue with the 'secure token app' trying to make a transfer. He was unhelpful and just hung up on me after telling me to delete and re download the app. Very poor customer service

Why do Suncorp have an offshore team who can't help you? They just waste your time asking a lot of questions then have to transfer you. Then you get a recording stating that you need to call before 1.00pm. Why doesn't Suncorp employ more people so that third parties vehicles, damages by Suncorp customers can get their car fixed - and why do claims finish at 1.00pm? This is ridiculous. Show details
Seriously, counting the days until my term deposit matures so I can close all my accounts. What are u doing Suncorp… The new My Card has broken me.. 12 hours on hold and still haven’t spoken to anyone. Hopefully everyone will close their accounts… care factor ZERO… profits … BILLIONS. Shame on you … Show details
Worst experience I’ve ever had with a bank - again. Our unincorporated association banked with Suncorp from long before I became the treasurer. Since taking the role, a few interactions with Suncorp Bank have now ranked as the absolute worst I have ever experienced with any bank. First one was we had a user on boarded to approve payments, but… Read more
Suncorp couldn’t set up an APCA ID so they could approve batch payments, because it turned out the person had an account 15-20 years ago, and Suncorp had created a new one, and the system couldn’t reconcile the two, or combine them, or get rid of the old one. So the system was just confused and wouldn’t work for them. Over two days on the phone and in the branch, they couldn’t get their system to work.
Then they put a hold on our accounts randomly with no warning, saying they needed more documentation about our organisation. But this was all info and documents we had already provided in the past! We provided it once, block removed, then a few months later they have done it again! Are they just losing it? There must be major problems with their internal systems.
Tried calling them multiple times, the system says it has registered a callback, but they just don’t call back. Takes days to get responses to our emails.
Awful customer support, the worst bank I have ever had the misfortune of using. We are switching banks. Never bank with Suncorp.
After hours on the phone with Suncorp it took them over a month to confirm that an email I received was not a scam. They also threatened to block access to accounts without any explanation. Customer service is non-existant.
Zero stars. In my experience, USELESS insurance.I found dealing with Suncorp insurance an absolute nightmare.Their claims department is horrible to deal with, even for not-at-fault claims. Call centres are slow with long wait times and poor customer service.Also high insurance premiums to get any decent coverage. I will be AVOIDING Suncorp insurance and their many other insurance brands in future.
What a god awful experience that was trying to explain that I had grossly over insured my home using the real estate market value instead of the replacement value. My mistake...I owned it...I didnt want a refund or any special consideration, I just wanted to renew my policy, insuring the home for the correct value ($250,000 less that originally… Read more
insured for!!). There was absolutely ZERO comprehension from the 2 CSOs I spoke to. "oh no...we cant insure it for that amount (the proper one)...you would be under insuring...... I step by step explained my error and pointed out I would not be under insuring as I had been grossly over insuring.... nope...still no understandee...... CYA Suncorp
Suncorp has low process credibility and zero manners when it comes to settling insurance claims. My son was involved in a minor car accident with a Suncorp client in a vehicle registered and insured by my wife. He swapped details and Suncorp was in contact by letter advising what the bill was and for us to contact our insurer. Suncorp provided no… Read more
details of the insurance quotes or process they used to arrive at the damage claim. The claim was just above our excess payment so we decided to make a direct payment to Suncorp one day before the bill was due. A week before the payment was due we received a final demand letter from Suncorp. It is now two weeks after we have paid the claim and we have received no formal notification from Suncorp acknowledging our payment.
I have finally had enough. the first time I was locked out of accessing my account and it took 3 business days and many hours of my time to get it back. Today a legitimate transfer was blocked. Will be transferring to another bank & wonder why I didn't wake up sooner. Show details
