You are allowed an unlimited number of transfers to and from the account at no charge, with the exception of any external transfers. Those will incur a fee of $2 per transaction.

0% interest on your balance

The variable interest rate is applied to your balance daily and paid into the account once a month. Note, the variable interest rate is subject to change in line with movements of the RBA Cash Rate.

Save more with flexiRates

This unique feature allows you to set aside a portion of your savings balance and lock it in a term for a higher fixed interest rate. Terms range from one month to one year, and you can have up to 15 separate flexiRates for one account. There are no extra fees or minimum balance requirement, but like a term deposit the interest rate will be adjusted if you choose to end the term early. You are able to set up your flexiRate through online banking by choosing the amount you wish to set aside and the length of time you wish the terms to be.

Options to access your account online and more

This account can be accessed using internet or phone banking. You can also make deposits at a branch using cash or a cheque.

Set up direct credits and debits

You can set up this account for electronic direct credits and debits.

Transfer cash with a linked account

You will need to nominate a separate business banking account with Suncorp Bank or another Australian financial institution to facilitate the transfer of your money. Compare more bank accounts from Suncorp.

Is the Suncorp Business Saver Account (flexiRates) 4% for 6 months only for businesses?

Hi Jerome,

The Business Saver Account is for business customers only. However, you can also access the flexiRates via a Suncorp Everyday Options account, which is for personal customers: https://www.finder.com.au/bank-accounts/suncorp-bank-savings-accounts/suncorp-everyday-options-account

Thanks,

Alison
