  • write numbers that contain the same sequence of numbers as your Security Code;
  • record it on any Mobile Device where it can easily be retrieved;

10. Making Transfers via the Pay Someone Feature

10.1 Suncorp Bank App users are able to send money to other Suncorp accounts or accounts at other financial institutions or owned by third parties using the Pay Someone feature.

10.2 Pay Someone payments eligible to be submitted as an Osko payment via the New Payments Platform will generally be received by the payee in near real-time (refer to the Terms and Conditions for Suncorp Bank Accounts and for Continuing Credit Accounts for Osko eligibility requirements). All other Pay Someone payments will be sent to the destination the same day if submitted before 5.30pm (AEST) on a business day (Monday to Friday exclusive of recognised public holidays). Pay Someone payments (other than Osko payments) submitted after this time may not be sent until the following business day. Please allow 1-2 business days for a Pay Someone payment to be received by the recipient if it cannot be sent as an Osko payment through New Payments Platform.

10.3 Pay Someone payments to other Suncorp accounts, other than future dated or recurring payments, will be processed immediately.

10.4 Where a future dated or recurring Pay Someone payment is setup, the Pay Someone transfer will be debited from your account on the evening of the date you have requested the payment to be made.

10.5 If you ask us to send a payment to a BSB and account number we will direct the payment to the intended account using only the BSB and account number you provide. The account name you provide will not be used to check that the payment has been made to the correct account. Funds will be transferred to the BSB and account number you provide regardless of whether the account name you provide matches the account number.

10.6 If you ask us to send a payment to a PayID we will provide you with the corresponding PayID Name and ask you to confirm it. It is your responsibility to ensure you provide us with the correct PayID and ensure the PayID Name matches the person you intend to pay.  If you are unsure whether the PayID Name is who you intend to pay, you should contact the intended recipient of your payment to confirm that the PayID and PayID Name are correct before proceeding with the payment.  

10.7 It is your responsibility to ensure that the details provided by you, such as the BSB and account number or PayID, are correct or your Pay Someone payments may be unsuccessful or may be paid to an unintended account, resulting in the loss of your funds.

Mistaken Internet Payments are treated by us in accordance with clause 22 of these App Terms and the ePayments Code.

10.8 You must only use the PayID search function in the Pay Someone payment process for the purpose of making a genuine bona fide payment to another person.  You must not use the PayID search function or data collected from the PayID search function for any improper or fraudulent purpose.

10.9 We may, acting reasonable, restrict or disable your use of the PayID search function from time to time in any manner we reasonably believe is appropriate or necessary to prevent the PayID search function from being used for a purpose, or in a way, which we believe ould be fraudulent or improper.

10.10 When you make a Pay Someone payment to a PayID connected to a joint account, the other account holders may be able to see the messages and notifications associated with the payment.

10.11 For Pay Someone payments you must not enter any text, emojis or other characters in the payment description that are inappropriate, insulting, defamatory or damaging to the reputation of any person. We will not be liable to you or any other person for such payment descriptions (except to the extent that any loss is caused by our negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct or our officer, employee, contractor or agent).

10.12 Once you authorise transactions to be processed, generally, we will not be able to stop, withdraw, suspend or delete the transfer, change any details or recover the funds except where the payment is due to occur at a future date where you may be able to edit or amend the payment details prior to the payment occurring.

10.13 If a transfer cannot be processed by the receiving financial institution, the funds will be returned to your account. This may take approximately 3 days but can take longer depending on the other financial institution.

11. Paying Bills with BPAY®

12. Using the Suncorp Bank App

12.1 Suncorp Bank App instructions requiring transfer of funds (including BPAY bill payments) may not be carried out if you do not have enough cleared funds in the relevant account. We will notify you on screen if this occurs while attempting to perform an immediate transaction.

12.2 When a requested Pay Someone future dated or recurring payment is unsuccessful, we will notify you in the Suncorp Bank App and Internet Banking. Notification is deemed to have been received by you when it is received via one of these online platforms.

12.3 When a payment made under a PayTo Agreement has been initiated, we will notify you in the Suncorp Bank App whether it has been successful or unsuccessful. Notification is deemed to have been received by you when it is received via the Suncorp Bank App. If the payment has been unsuccessful, the Merchant or Payment Initiator (as applicable) can retry to debit the payment from your Account up to 5 times in a 24-hour period. We will notify you in the Suncorp Bank App of the first failure only.

12.4 At any time we may restrict the types of accounts that can use the Suncorp Bank App or we may change or restrict your use of or access to the Suncorp Bank App by any Mobile Device. In addition, we may restrict the availability of some Suncorp Bank App functions (eg BPAY, PayTo, Pay Someone Transfers (including Osko payments)) to particular types of accounts or Mobile Device.

12.5 Information provided by the Suncorp Bank App about your Account relates to transactions that we have processed and verified. Your Suncorp Bank App transactions will be processed in the normal course of business or at the times we tell you.

12.6 We are not responsible for delays, errors, inaccuracies, or omissions due to failure in any Mobile Device, the Telephone Banking network, any telephone system, any other electronic system or ancillary equipment or any other circumstances beyond our control, except to the extent that any loss is caused by our fraud, negligence or wilful misconduct or our officer, employee, contractor or agent.

12.7 For bank account Transfers, Pay Someone and/or Edit Scheduled Payments, you must not enter text, and/or special characters in the description and/or reference fields that are inappropriate, insulting, defamatory or damaging to the reputation of any person. If you use such text or characters, you may not be able to proceed with the transaction. We will not be liable to you or any other person for such payment descriptions and/or references except to the extent that any loss is caused by our fraud, negligence or wilful misconduct or our officer, employee, contractor or agent.

13. Withdrawal Limits

13.1 There are two types of withdrawal limits that apply when processing payments in Internet Banking and the Suncorp Bank App:

1) Transaction Limit

When completing certain transactions in Internet Banking and the Suncorp Bank App and the total value of these transactions exceeds $3,000 in any given day we will require you to input a Security Token Code. More information on Security Tokens is available in clause 14. We may vary the Transaction Limit and/or the types of transactions which require a Security Token Code.

The table below details the types of transactions that utilise this daily transaction limit:

Your daily limit will be shared across Internet Banking and the Suncorp Bank App. We may vary the default daily limit at any time and provide at least 30 days’ notice of the change.

If you attempt to perform a transaction that exceeds your Daily Limit, it may be rejected.

14. Security Token

14.1 Unless we agree otherwise, a Security Token is required to be active where:

  a. your Daily Limit is over the default Daily Limit;

  b. you wish to process over the Transaction Limit as detailed in clause 13.1

  c. transaction is made from one of your Accounts which we reasonably believe may be fraudulent or suspicious; or

14.4 Where your Security Token is deactivated, and your daily limit is above the default daily limit, we may reduce your daily limit to the default daily limit until a new Security Token is activated and you request the limit to be increased.

14.5 When the Security Token expires or is deactivated you will be unable to process transactions which require a Security Token Code until a new Security Token is activated.

14.6 If you wish to deactivate your Security Token you can do so via the Suncorp Bank Secured App. Alternatively, you can contact us on 13 11 55 and request to deregister from the Suncorp Bank Secured App. You will be limited to transactions which do not require a Security Token Code (refer to clause 14.2 above).

15. Online Cashback

15.1 You can only access Online Cashback where:

  • you have a loan with Suncorp Bank;
  • your loan contract provides you can access Cashback; and
  • all borrowers under your loan contract have satisfied any additional requirements of Suncorp Bank from time to time, that must be met before Suncorp Bank will allow you access to Online Cashback.

15.2 You can contact Suncorp Bank on 13 11 55 to find out if you can access Cashback and to find out any additional requirements that must be satisfied before you will be allowed access to Online Cashback.

15.3 Suncorp Bank may (on reasonable notice unless it is necessary to manage an immediate or material risk)  refuse to allow you access to Online Cashback, even where Suncorp Bank's requirements have been satisfied, but will only do so in order to protect its Legitimate Interests, and only to the extent reasonably required to do this.

15.4 Online Cashback will generally be available during business hours in Brisbane and may be available during other hours subject to Suncorp Bank's processing requirements. 

15.5 At any time Suncorp Bank (on reasonable notice unless it is necessary to manage an immediate or material risk) can withdraw your access to Online Cashback or limit the functions that can be performed using Online Cashback, without providing a reason, but will only do so in order to protect its Legitimate Interests, and only to the extent reasonably required to do this.

15.6 Access to Online Cashback is subject to:

  • the terms and conditions of your loan contract;
  • these Terms and Conditions; and
  • any particular terms and conditions that you have agreed to before Suncorp Bank will provide you with access to Online Cashback.

15.7 Only immediate transactions can be performed using Online Cashback. Future dated or recurring transactions are not available.

Funds can only be transferred to another Suncorp Bank account and Suncorp Bank may at any time limit the accounts to which funds can be transferred. Pay Someone transfers cannot be performed using Online Cashback.

15.8 The amount of funds that can be accessed through Online Cashback is called Available Cashback and is displayed on the Account Details screen. You cannot access more than this amount through Online Cashback. In addition, there is a maximum limit of $99,999.99 for each Online Cashback Transaction.

15.11 You or any other borrower under your loan contract can request the cancellation of Online Cashback at any time in writing, by contacting us on 13 11 55 or by going to a branch. If you then wish to access Online Cashback again, you and all other borrowers under your loan contract will need to once more satisfy any additional requirements of Suncorp Bank from time to time, that must be met before Suncorp Bank will allow you access to Online Cashback.

16. Electronic Communication

16.1 You agree to Suncorp Bank contacting you electronically at the email address you have provided regarding transactions you make using the Suncorp Bank App. If you give us permission, you also agree that we can send you push notifications. You also agree that we can provide you with any information required to be given to you by law or any code including the Banking Code of Practice and ePayments Codes; as well as non-marketing communications, by electronic communication, unless any law or code requires otherwise.

16.2 Anytime you make a Pay Someone payment to a new BSB and Account Number that you save to your address book, we will automatically issue an email to you notifying you of the payment. If you don't recognise the payment, you are to promptly notify us on 13 11 55.

16.3 If you authorise a data sharing arrangement with an accredited organisation pursuant to the Consumer Data Right (Open Banking), we will notify you via an email and within the Suncorp Bank App of the arrangement. If you didn’t set up the data sharing arrangement, you are to notify us promptly on 13 11 55.  

17. Signatories - Any Two to Sign

17.1 Accounts with signing instructions of "any two signatories to sign" to authorise a Transaction can access the mobile site of Internet Banking from the App in order for the Transaction to be processed. The Transaction requiring any two signatories to sign can also be processed directly in Internet Banking.

17.2 Once a Transaction requiring two signatories has been set up by one signatory in the App it will await approval in Internet Banking from the second account signatory. The Transaction can be approved from the mobile site or desktop site of Internet Banking. The Transaction will not be successfully processed until it has been authorised by two signatories.

17.3 If a future dated or recurring Transaction is still awaiting approval on the next payment date requested, it will expire and not be processed.

17.4 Where there are multiple signatories on an account, the authorisation of any (2) two will be accepted and the Transaction processed as set out in clause 17.2 above.

17.5 Appropriate signatories will be notified in Internet Banking of any Transactions awaiting approval.

17.6 For the purposes of the Consumer Data Right (Open Banking) any owner of an account held jointly is able to authorise data sharing for that account, notwithstanding that the signing instructions are “any two signatories to sign” to authorise a Transaction.  Any account owner is able to view, withdraw or amend this approval at any time in the Suncorp Bank App, notwithstanding any signing instructions to authorise a Transaction on the account.

17.7 The PayTo Service is not available for Accounts which require 2 or more persons to sign to withdraw from the Account or with signing instructions of "any two signatories to sign".

17.8 Persons with a “Signatory” relationship are automatically opted into receive eStatements on nominated accounts in the Suncorp Bank App and do not have the option to opt-out from eStatements in the Suncorp Bank App.

18. View Only Access

18.1 If you ask us and we agree, we can provide Suncorp Bank App access to various accounts limited to "view only" access.

18.2 View Only access (for Account Information Only relationships) means you can authorise a person to view transactional information, customer information, eStatements (if auto opted in – see below) and make statement requests only. This does not allow the person to perform any type of debit Transaction, open or close the account, or make any changes to information on the account other than their own information.

When we agree to provide View Only access you also authorise that person to view transactional information, customer information and eStatements.

Persons with View Only access are automatically opted in to receive eStatements on nominated accounts in the Suncorp Bank App and do not have the option to opt-out from eStatements in the Suncorp Bank App. 

18.3 You will not be able to view details of PayTo Agreements in the App if you have “view only” access or you have been granted “Authorised Officer” or “Account Information Only” authority for an Account.

19. Problems with Suncorp Bank App

19.1 If you think there has been a mistake or a transaction you did not authorise, you must promptly phone us on 13 11 55 or notify us via the Suncorp Bank App. Your concerns or any problems will be investigated in the manner outlined in these Terms and Conditions.

To assist in obtaining a prompt resolution to the problem, please give us clear instructions as to the account number and biller codes of any person or biller involved in the problem and provide any supporting documentation which will assist in our investigation.

20. Our requirements of you to protect your account against unauthorised transactions

20.1 In addition to your obligations under clause 6.4 of these App Terms and Conditions, you must:

  • never voluntarily disclose or give your Security Codes or any other access method or Security Code to anyone, including a family member or friend; or
  • where the access method uses a Mobile Device, not indicate one or more of the Security Codes on the outside of the Mobile Device, or keep a record of one or more of the Security Codes (without making any reasonable attempt to protect the security of the Security Code records) on the one article, or on several articles, carried with the Mobile Device or vulnerable to loss or theft simultaneously with the Mobile Device; or
  • where we permit you to select or change a Security Code (and, immediately before your selection or change of the Security Code, we specifically instruct you not to select a numeric Security Code which represents your birth date or an alphabetical Security Code which is a recognisable part of your name and we warn you of the consequences of such a selection) not select such a numeric or alphabetical Security Code; or
  • not act with extreme carelessness in failing to protect the security of all the Security Codes.

For the purposes of this clause, a reasonable attempt to protect the security of a Security Code record includes either or both of:

  • making any reasonable attempt to disguise the Security Codes within the record;
  • taking reasonable steps to prevent unauthorised access to the Security Code record.

20.2 Notwithstanding the App Terms, for the purposes of determining your liability for any losses resulting from unauthorised transactions using an electronic device and an access method we will comply with the requirements of the ePayments Code (except where the ePayments Code does not apply).

21. ePayments Code

21.1 Where you are an individual, the ePayments Code applies to the following transactions provided by us, each of which is an ePayments Transaction:

  • electronic card transactions, including ATM, EFTPOS, credit card and debit card transactions that are not intended to be authenticated by comparing a manual signature with a specimen signature,
  • Telephone Banking and bill payment transactions,
  • Suncorp Bank App transactions, including by way of Pay Someone,
  • online transactions performed using a card number and expiry date,
  • online bill payments (including BPAY®),
  • transactions using facilities with contactless features and prepaid cards, not intended to be authenticated by comparing a manual signature with a specimen signature,
  • direct debits,
  • transactions made under a PayTo Agreement,
  • transactions using mobile devices,
  • mail order transactions not intended to be authenticated by comparing a manual signature with a specimen signature, and
  • any other transaction specified by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission.

21.2 We will comply with the ePayments Code where it applies.

21.3 We agree to follow the rules of the ePayments Code for ePayments Transactions made in Australia and we give you a warranty that we will do so.

This does not apply to:

  • an Account that is designed primarily for use by a business, and established primarily for business purposes, or
  • a facility where you and Suncorp Bank do not have a contractual relationship. 

22. When You are Not Liable for Any Losses

22.1 An unauthorised transaction, that is a transaction you do not authorise, does not include any transaction carried out by you or by anyone performing a transaction with your knowledge and consent. You will not be liable for losses resulting from unauthorised transactions where it is clear that you have not contributed to the loss.

22.2 Where you do not authorise a transaction, you will not be responsible for losses which:

  • are caused by fraud, negligence or wilful misconduct of us or our officers, contractors, staff or agents of ours or third parties involved in networking arrangements or merchants or their agents or employees;
  • are losses relating to an Identifier, Device or Security Code which is forged, faulty, expired, or cancelled;
  • arise from a transaction which required the use of any Device and / or Security Code that occurred before you received any Device and / or Security Code or reissued Device and / or Security Code;
  • are caused by the same transaction being incorrectly debited more than once to the same Account;
  • arise from unauthorised transactions performed after we have been informed that the Device has been misused, lost or stolen or the security of the Security Code has been breached;
  • arise from unauthorised transactions that can be made using an Identifier without a Security Code or Device or can be made using a Device, or a Device and an Identifier, but does not require a Security Code, if you do not unreasonably delay reporting the loss or theft of the Device; and / or

are losses which occur while our processes are unavailable, provided that a report is made within a reasonable time of the process again becoming generally available

23. When You are Liable for Losses

23.1 You will be liable for losses resulting from transactions which are carried out by you or by another person with your knowledge and consent.

23.2 Where we can prove on the balance of probability that you have contributed to a loss through fraud, or breaching the Security Code security requirements in clause 6 and / or clause 20:

You are liable in full for the actual losses that occur before the loss, theft or misuse of a Device or breach of Security Code security is reported to us, but

You are not liable for the portion of losses:

  • incurred on any one day that exceeds any applicable daily transaction limit,
  • incurred in any period that exceeds any applicable periodic transaction limit,
  • that exceeds the balance on the Account, including any pre-arranged credit, or
  • incurred on any Account that we and you had not agreed could be accessed using the Device or Identifier and/or Security Code used to perform the transaction.

Where:

  • more than one Security Code is required to perform a transaction, and
  • we prove that you breached the Security Code security requirements in clause 6 for one or more of the required Security Codes, but not all of the required Security Codes,

you are liable as outlined above only if we prove on the balance of probability that the breach of the Security Code security requirements under clause 6 and / or clause 20 was more than 50% responsible for the losses, when assessed together with all the contributing causes.

23.3 You are liable for losses arising from unauthorised transactions that occur because you contributed to losses by leaving a Card in an ATM, as long as the ATM incorporates reasonable safety standards that mitigate the risk of a card being left in the ATM.

23.4 Where we can prove, on the balance of probability, that you contributed to losses resulting from an unauthorised transaction by unreasonably delaying reporting the misuse, loss or theft of a Device, or that the security of all Security Codes has been breached, you:

  • are liable for the actual losses that occur between:
    • when you became aware of the security compromise, or should reasonably have become aware in the case of a lost or stolen Device, and
    • when the security compromise was reported to us, but
  • are not liable for any portion of the losses:
    • incurred on any one day that exceeds any applicable daily transaction limit,
    • incurred in any period that exceeds any applicable periodic transaction limit,
    • that exceeds the balance on the Account, including any pre-arranged credit, or
    • incurred on any Account that we and you had not agreed could be accessed using the Device and/or Security Code used to perform the transaction.

23.5 Where a Security Code was required to perform the unauthorised transactions, and the other circumstances outlined in this clause above do not apply, you are liable for the least of:

  • $150.00, or a lower figure determined by us;
  • the balance of the Account or Accounts which we and you have agreed may be accessed using the Device and / or Security Code, including any prearranged credit; or
  • the actual loss at the time the misuse, loss or theft of a Device or breach of the Security Code security is reported to us, excluding that portion of the losses incurred on any one day which exceeds any relevant daily transaction limit or any other periodic transaction limit.

23.6 We, or our external dispute resolution body, have a discretion to reduce your liability in the circumstances set out in the ePayments Code.

23.7 If you report an unauthorised transaction on a debit card Account:

  • we must not hold you liable for losses under this clause for an amount greater than the liability of you if we exercised any rights we had under the rules of the card scheme at the time the report was made, against other parties to the scheme (for example, charge-back rights), and
  • this clause does not require us to exercise any rights we may have under the rules of the card scheme. However, we cannot hold you liable under this clause for a greater amount than would apply if we had exercised those rights.

24. Mistaken Internet Payments

24.1 When the ePayments Code applies to a transaction made through an Internet Banking facility we will follow the rules of the ePayments Code in relation to Mistaken Internet Payments. Other ADIs who have subscribed to the ePayments Code are required to follow the same processes set out in this clause 24 in relation to Mistaken Internet Payments. These processes do not apply to transactions where the ‘Pay Someone' Suncorp Bank App service used is a service designed primarily for use by a business and established primarily for business purposes.

This clause sets out how we will deal with Mistaken Internet Payments made by you and Mistaken Internet Payments received into your Account. You agree to us dealing with Mistaken Internet Payments in this way.

Reporting a Mistaken Payment

This clause sets out how we will deal with Mistaken Internet Payments made by you and Mistaken Internet Payments received into your Account. You agree to us dealing with Mistaken Internet Payments in this way.

24.2 You must report a Mistaken Internet Payment as soon as possible. You can report a Mistaken Internet Payment by:

  • contacting us on 13 11 55 within Australia;
  • contacting us on 617 3362 2222, if overseas; or
  • visiting our branches.

24.3 You must give us full details of the transaction you are querying. We may require further information from you to investigate.

24.4 When you report a Mistaken Internet Payment, we will give you a notification number or some other form of acknowledgment which you should retain as evidence of the date and time of your report.

When You Have Made a Mistaken Internet Payment

24.5 When you report a Mistaken Internet Payment to us, we as the Sending ADI, will investigate whether a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred. We will require certain information to enable us to undertake that investigation, such as the PayID and / or BSB and Account number into which the Mistaken Internet Payment was made, the name of the party or the intended recipient and any further information you may have evidencing the mistake. We will contact you if we require further information.

24.6 If we are not satisfied that a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred, we will not take any further action.

24.7 If we are satisfied that a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred, we will send the Receiving ADI a request for the return of the funds. The Receiving ADI is required to acknowledge this request within 5 Business Days and advise us whether there are sufficient funds in the Account of the Unintended Recipient to cover the Mistaken Internet Payment.

24.8 The Receiving ADI will also investigate. If the Receiving ADI is not satisfied that a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred, they will not return the funds.

24.9 We must inform you of the outcome of the reported Mistaken Internet Payment in writing and within 30 Business Days of the day on which you reported the Mistaken Internet Payment to us.

24.10 If the Receiving ADI returns the funds to us, we will return the funds to you as soon as practicable. Usually, we will return funds to you by crediting the Account from which the Mistaken Internet Payment was made. If you no longer have an Account with us, or if it is not practicable to credit the returned funds to that Account, we will return funds to you by some other means.

24.11 Where we and the Receiving ADI are satisfied that a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred, but there are not sufficient credit funds available in the Account of the Unintended Recipient to the full value of the Mistaken Internet Payment, the Receiving ADI must use reasonable endeavours to retrieve the funds from the Unintended Recipient for return to you (for example, by facilitating repayment of the funds by the Unintended Recipient by instalments).

When a Mistaken Internet Payment Is Made Into Your Account

24.12 When a Sending ADI sends a request to us, as Receiving ADI, of a Mistaken Internet Payment having been made into your Account, we will within 5 Business Days acknowledge that request and advise the Sending ADI whether there are sufficient funds in your Account to cover the Mistaken Internet Payment.

24.13 We will investigate whether a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred.

24.14 If we are not satisfied that a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred, we are not required to take any further action but we may seek your consent to return the funds.

24.15 If we are satisfied that a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred, we will take action as follows:

  (a) Process where funds are available and report is made within 10 Business Days

If a Mistaken Internet Payment is reported within 10 Business Days after the payment is made, we are satisfied that a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred, and there are sufficient funds in your Account, we will withdraw the funds from your Account and arrange for the return of the funds to the Sending ADI within 10 Business Days.

  (b) Process where funds are available and report is made within 10 Business Days and 7 months

If a Mistaken Internet Payment is reported between 10 Business Days and 7 months after the payment is made, we are satisfied that a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred, and there are sufficient funds in your Account, we will complete our investigation into the reported Mistaken Internet Payment within 10 Business Days of receiving the request.  If we are satisfied that a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred, we will place a hold on your Account to prevent you from withdrawing the amount of the funds for a further 10 Business Days and notify you that we will withdraw the funds if you do not establish that you are entitled to the funds within that 10 Business Day period. If you fail to establish your entitlement within 10 Business Days, we will return the funds to the Sending ADI within 2 Business Days of the end of that period.

  (c) Process where funds are available and report is made after 7 months

If a Mistaken Internet Payment is reported more than 7 months after the payment is made, there are sufficient funds in your Account and we are satisfied that a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred, we will ask you if you agree to the return of the funds to the sender. If you consent to the return of the funds, we must return the funds to the sender.

  (d) Process where funds are not available in Your Account

Where we and the Sending ADI are satisfied that a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred, but there are not sufficient credit funds available in your Account to the full value of the Mistaken Internet Payment, then we may decide to:

  • recover the full payment;
  • recover a partial payment; or
  • not to recover any funds.

If we decide to recover the full payment, then we must use reasonable endeavours to retrieve the funds from you for return to the sender (for example, by facilitating repayment of the funds by you by instalments).

In each case, if we are not satisfied that a Mistaken Internet Payment has occurred, we may (but are not obliged to) seek your consent to return the funds.

24.16 We can prevent you from withdrawing funds the subject of a Mistaken Internet Payment where we are required to do so to meet our obligations under the ePayments Code.

Centrelink Direct Credit Payments

24.17 Where the Unintended Recipient of a Mistaken Internet Payment is receiving income support payments from Centrelink, we will recover the funds from the Unintended Recipient in accordance with the Code of Operation for Centrelink Direct Credit Payments.

Complaints about Mistaken Internet Payments

24.18 If you report a Mistaken Internet Payment to us as Sending ADI and you are unhappy with our handling of the matter, you can make a complaint to us. Please refer to clause 1.7 of the Terms and Conditions for Suncorp Bank Accounts and for Continuing Credit Accounts in relation to making complaints. If a complaint is made to another ADI where we are the Receiving ADI, we must cooperate with the other ADI's dispute resolution scheme.

25. Managing your Visa Debit card

25.1 Temporarily lock card

This functionality is available for Visa Debit cards only, and is designed to be used if you have misplaced your card or wish to restrict unauthorised use. All card payments will be declined while a card is locked. If a card is temporarily locked, any recurring card payments such as, online subscriptions and direct debits will also be declined. If a locked card is inserted into an ATM, it will be retained. Your card will remain locked until you unlock it. Temporarily locking your card does not report your card as lost or stolen. If your card has been lost or stolen, or if there has been any unauthorised transactions, you must report this to Suncorp Bank as soon as possible in accordance with the terms and conditions that apply to your card. If you report a locked card as lost or stolen, or order a replacement card, the locked card will be cancelled.

25.2 Unlocking your card

If you temporarily lock your Visa Debit card using the Suncorp Bank App, and have not reported your card lost or stolen to Suncorp Bank, you can unlock it anytime using the app. When you unlock your card, it will be active immediately.

25.3 Card Security preferences

The Suncorp Bank App allows you to optionally control (turn off/on) the following transaction types for Visa Debit cards (Card Controls):

  • Report a Lost or Stolen Card - use this control to report a card as lost or stolen and order a replacement.
  • Visa payWave payments – use this control to disable contactless payments. If it’s turned off, you’ll always need to insert or swipe your card and enter your PIN when making purchases. This includes contactless purchases using your mobile device where you have included the card in a mobile wallet service.
  • Internet transactions (card not present transactions) – use this control to disable purchases via the internet or telephone from this card. If it’s turned off, any recurring transactions, such as online subscriptions, from this card will not be processed.
  • Overseas in-store payments – use this control to disable overseas in-store payments. If it’s turned off, physical in-store card purchases outside Australia will be declined. This does not include online payments from international companies.
  • Gambling lock – use this control to automatically prevent most gambling transactions. If it’s turned on, your card will not be able to be used for most gambling transactions, both physical in-venue card transactions and transactions via the internet or telephone (other than transactions conducted through the eftpos network – refer to further information below).

Things you should know about card controls:

  • Only the card selected for the control will be impacted.
  • Only the card owner can set controls.
  • You can set more than one control for a card at any point in time.
  • The controls relate to the selected card, not the account.
  • The default position for all Card Controls, including the Gambling lock, is ‘off’. To apply any Card Control, it must be turned ‘on’ in the Suncorp Bank App.
  • The control applies only to the 'credit' option available with your card and not any ‘cheque’ or ‘savings’ option.
  • In order to complete your request to report your card as lost or stolen and order your new card you will need to complete the process and click "Confirm" on the “Cancel Card?” popover.
  • If you have added your card to your digital wallet, when you report the card as lost or stolen and order a replacement, we will remove your old card from the digital wallet and replace it with a new card. You will be able to use the new card in your digital wallet as soon as it appears – you do not need to wait for the new physical card to be sent to you.
  • If you believe that there has been unauthorised access or use of your digital wallet, or that the security of your digital wallet has been compromised, please call us to review, and if needed, remove the compromised digital tokens associated with your digital wallet.

If you have a Card Control on your card and the card is replaced, the Card Controls applied to your previous card will not apply to your new card. You will need to go into the Suncorp Bank App and turn ‘on’ the Card Controls for your new card if you want the controls to apply.

Circumstances where the card controls may not apply:

  • Transactions that are made when a merchant's systems are offline.
  • Quasi cash transactions which is when your Visa Debit card is used for the purchase of items e.g. money orders, traveller’s cheques foreign currency and online gambling (unless you have turned ‘on’ the gambling lock).
  • Suncorp Bank relies on the transaction information provided by the merchant. If the authorisation request we receive doesn't match the exact criteria used to define the control you have set, the transaction may not be declined.

Circumstances where the Report Lost or Stolen Card control will not apply:

  • For eftpos cards;
  • For all Suncorp Credit Cards;
  • Where a card has been replaced in the previous 90 days;
  • Where there is a restriction against the account that is linked to the card;
  • Where your delivery address is outside of Australia; or
  • Where your delivery preference is “collect from branch”.

Additional circumstances where the gambling lock Card Control may not apply:

  • Eftpos transactions – including: 
    • gambling transactions when you are in a gambling outlet and using the merchant’s point of sale terminal; 
    • iOS customers who have selected to use the eftpos network when using their card in a digital wallet;
  • Purchases which we are unable to identify as gambling transactions (eg where the merchant isn’t classified as a gambling merchant, or has been incorrectly classified);
  • Gambling transaction refunds;
  • BPAY transactions, even if they are being made to a gambling merchant.

We identify transactions as gambling-related when the merchant is set up and classified as a gambling operator. This is done by the merchant's bank and is not something Suncorp Bank is able to control.

How to remove a gambling lock

You can remove a gambling lock on your card by turning off the gambling lock within the Suncorp Bank App. The gambling lock will not be removed immediately – it will only be removed 48 hours after you change the gambling lock control. The cooling off period is fixed and the gambling lock on your card is not able to be removed prior to the expiry of this 48-hour period.

What Suncorp Bank will do when you apply a control:

  • We will make all reasonable efforts to decline a transaction when we receive an authorisation request for a transaction which matches one of the controls you have set.

Suspension and cancellation of the service:

  • Suncorp Bank may cancel or suspend the service or your use of the service or any controls at any time and without prior notice if there is a systems breakdown, or Suncorp Bank suspects a security breach such as suspect or fraudulent activity on your account.
  • You can stop using the service at any time. If you ask Suncorp Bank to cancel the service we will set all the control indicators to the default setting for the control subject to any restrictions referred to above.

26. Your Card PIN Security Requirements

26.1 Your card PIN provides access to your Visa/Debit, EFTPOS and credit cards, and must not be disclosed to anyone, including a family member or friend.

To protect yourself from unauthorised use, you should NOT choose a PIN that includes:

a. your date of birth;
b. your driver’s license number;
c. a series of consecutive or the same numbers; or
d. the same number as any Mobile Device Passcode.

26.2 You can reset your card PIN at any time within the Suncorp Bank App by selecting the Manage button in the Accounts section of the Banking Tab.

26.3 You can record your card PIN(s) to help you remember them, but they must be reasonably disguised. You should NOT:

  • put any PIN on your card even if you disguise it;
  • reverse the order of the PIN;
  • say a disguised number is your PIN;
  • disguise your PIN as a telephone number;
  • replace your PIN with letters (e.g. A=1, B=2, C=3);
  • write numbers that contain the same sequence of numbers as your PIN;
  • record it on any Mobile Device where it can easily be retrieved;
  • keep a record of it near the access method (for example next to your Mobile Device), unless you make a reasonable attempt to protect the security of the PIN; or
  • keep a written record of all PIN(s) required to perform transactions on one or more items at risk of being simultaneously lost or stolen, without making a reasonable attempt to protect the security of the PIN(s).

These are only examples, and not a conclusive list of things you should avoid when disguising your card PIN(s).

26.4 If a card PIN is compromised, you are required to tell us promptly by telephoning our 24-hour hotline number on 1800 775 020.
