Business Overdraft

Manage your short-term cash flow, unexpected expenses, or simply have access to extra credit when you need it.

Why choose a Business Overdraft?

A Suncorp Business Overdraft allows you to have access to an approved amount of credit when all of the funds in your linked transaction account are exhausted. Suitable for small or large businesses, it’s an ideal facility to help manage seasonal cash flow fluctuations, the purchase of new stock, or to finance short-term working capital. Interest is only charged on the portion of the overdraft that is used and with no set principal repayments. You can minimise your repayments until your cash flow allows you to start repaying the balance. We offer both secured and unsecured overdrafts.
