Your high interest savings account can help you
Suncorp Bank’s flexiRate feature allows you to lock away a portion of your savings
at a higher fixed rate of interest for a period of your choice. Available on selected
personal
and business
savings accounts, flexiRates have been designed to maximise the amount of interest
you can earn.
At a glance…
- Easily linked to your existing account
- Apply a flexiRate simply using Internet Banking
- No minimum or maximum flexiRate balance required
- Choose your own flexiRate period – from one month to one year
More Information:
FlexiRates ensure you earn a guaranteed rate of high interest, with the flexibility
that allows you to select a rate, balance and term to suit you. For example, if
you had $10,000 in your at-call high interest savings account, but knew you only
needed access to $2,000 in the near future, you might wish to apply a 6 month flexiRate
to the $8,000 you do not require and earn a higher fixed rate of interest on that
balance.

High Interest

- Interest is calculated daily and paid at the end of the flexiRate period
- flexiRates are designed to take advantage of movements in the Australian Money Market,
so rates may change frequently
- However, once you set up a flexiRate, your interest is fixed and guaranteed as long
as the nominated period is completed
- View our current advertised flexiRates here. If you are interested in applying a flexiRate for a term
not mentioned here, you can request a personalised term and rate via Internet Banking. See

Early Release of a flexiRate:
Should we allow an early release of a flexiRate, an interest adjustment will apply.
The interest adjustment is made according to the proportion of the term completed
as outlined in the table below. This does not impact on your original flexiRate
balance it simply reduces the amount of interest you will receive.
