Suncorp Bank moving to ANZ: what it means for your home loan
Your Suncorp home loan is moving to ANZ. Before it does, check whether the features you rely on are moving with it.
​
The changes that matter depend on your loan and how you use it. You might have paid ahead, use offset sub-accounts for household bills, or keep a paid-off loan open for access to redraw.
​
Staying with ANZ may suit you. A review can help if you’re not sure what to change.
The move at a glance
When:
The first half of 2027. Your notice confirms your move details.
​
Rate and balance:
Both carry across at the move, including accrued interest in the balance. Variable rates and applied margins can still change under your terms.
​
Paid ahead:
If your principal & interest loan has available Cashback/redraw, your minimum repayment is likely to rise. Interest isn’t charged on money you’ve already repaid.
​
Offset buckets:
An Everyday Options main account in offset mode becomes ANZ One Offset. Linked sub-accounts stop offsetting the loan.
​
Other situations:
Zero or credit balances, company-name loans and construction loans each have their own changes.
The published home loan timetable is the first half of 2027. This is a general timetable, not your individual move date.
When is my Suncorp home loan moving to ANZ?
Before your move:
Read the bank’s notices and check the features you use. Ask the bank about the timing of any requested change.
Construction changes and fixed or interest-only expiry can affect repayment arrangements separately. Check your own notice if these apply.
​
Suncorp says it will stop processing some service requests closer to the move. There is no single deadline in this guide that applies to every request or customer.
At your move:
Check the loan and account details in your notices. The general guidance carries across your rate transfer and outstanding balance, subject to the stated terms.
After your move:
Check ANZ’s repayment notice. For the general paid-ahead principal & interest change, your first ANZ minimum repayment matches your Suncorp minimum at transfer. A revised minimum repayment starts at least 30 days after ANZ’s notice.
Interest rate at transfer:
Carries across at the move. This does not fix a variable rate permanently.
​
Outstanding loan balance:
Carries across, including accrued interest at transfer. Specific advance-payment arrangements need checking.
​
Minimum repayment:
Can change because the calculation method changes for affected principal & interest borrowers.
What stays the same, and what can change?
What stays the same, and what can change?
Offset setup:
An Everyday Options main account in offset mode becomes One Offset. Its sub-accounts become transaction accounts without an offset function.
​
Access to advance payments:
Depends on your loan. Fixed, company-name, construction and zero-balance situations need particular attention.
​
Product terms:
Change as part of the move. Read the applicable notices and conditions.
What happens if I do nothing?
Your loan still moves to ANZ as planned. You cannot delay or opt out of the scheduled move.
​
The practical result depends on your situation. Money left in converted offset sub-accounts stops contributing to your offset benefit. A zero-debt or credit-balance loan can close, ending redraw access. A paid-ahead P&I loan may have a higher minimum repayment.
​
You can still discuss options after the move, but some choices depend on action beforehand. Use the relevant section below to identify what needs checking. Doing nothing can be a reasonable choice once you understand the changes. It’s different from assuming your whole setup stays the same.
Which situation sounds like yours?
I have paid ahead and have Cashback/redraw
For principal and interest loans, Suncorp may work out your minimum repayment on the reduced balance. ANZ includes available advance payments in its repayment basis. Your minimum repayment is therefore likely to rise if you have available Cashback/redraw. Interest is still charged only on what you owe, allowing for any eligible linked offset.
​
If you already pay more than the new minimum repayment, your actual repayment may not need to change.
​
Read paid-ahead repayments and redraw after the move for the options and a worked example. You can also use Suncorp’s official calculator. Estimates don’t replace ANZ’s notice.
If your Everyday Options account is in offset mode at the move, its main account becomes ANZ One Offset. Its linked sub-accounts become ANZ Access Advantage transaction accounts.
​
Balances in those converted sub-accounts no longer offset the loan. Your money stays in the transaction accounts. Their offset function changes.
​
Suncorp describes consolidating funds into the main offset account before the move as an option. Review direct debits and scheduled payments before changing your setup.
​
Read what happens to offset sub-accounts and budgeting buckets.
My loan is paid off or nearly paid off
First identify which balance you have:
​
Small amount of loan debt remains:
This is an outstanding-balance loan. Redraw remains subject to product terms and exceptions.
​
Offset cash equals the loan debt:
The debt still exists. A fully offset loan is different from a loan with no outstanding debt.
​
No outstanding loan debt:
Suncorp says the loan closes following the move if no relevant action is taken. Future redraw access ends.
​
Loan account is in credit:
Closure and return of the credit balance follow the applicable terms. Credit balance is different from available redraw.
​
If you want to preserve future access to funds, ask the bank about your options before the move. Suncorp describes a pre-move withdrawal of available redraw to leave an amount owing as one option. This creates or increases debt and can affect interest. It is not a general recommendation to withdraw money, and there is no confirmed token balance in this guide that guarantees continued access.
​
I have a construction loan
Suncorp says you will have 24 months from the move to ANZ to complete construction and fully draw the loan. That period starts from migration, not original settlement.
​
Principal & interest repayments switch to interest-only during the construction drawdown period. Redraw is unavailable during construction. Existing available advance funds left in the loan at migration cannot be accessed afterwards, and extra repayments made during construction are not redrawable.
​
New extra repayments made after completion and full drawdown may be available through redraw if the loan supports it. That does not restore access to earlier advance funds.
​
Confirm your final drawdown, approved interest-only expiry and later principal & interest payments with the bank. The detailed guidance allows an approved interest-only period to continue beyond final drawdown. Ask for your actual repayment schedule and remaining term rather than assuming a particular term reduction.
​
My home loan is in a company name
Home loans held in a company name lose redraw access after moving to ANZ. Suncorp says to withdraw existing available advance funds before the move if you want access to them. Otherwise they are applied to the loan and can’t be withdrawn afterwards.
​
Discuss the effect on debt, interest and access with the bank before making a decision. A fixed rate loan needs a discussion with a lending specialist about the available process. This rule concerns home loans in a company name, not every investment loan or every business facility.
​
I have a fixed or interest-only loan
If your loan is still fixed when it moves, remaining redraw is unavailable until the fixed period ends. Company-name and construction rules can restrict access for longer. Ordinary interest-only loans keep the same daily interest calculation, charged monthly.
​
Fixed or interest-only expiry can change your repayments separately from the move. Check each end date.
​
Read the fixed and interest-only checks.
I want to know whether staying with ANZ suits me
Start with the arrangement you need, then compare it with what you will have after the move.
​
-
Will the offset and transaction setup work for your household?
-
Can you access the funds you expect to need?
-
Does your usual payment cover the new required minimum?
-
Which fees, concessions and conditions apply to you?
-
Would changing your setup within ANZ solve the issue?
-
If you compare another lender, do the costs, features and eligibility justify a move?
​
Staying may be appropriate. Adjusting the setup may be enough. Comparing alternatives is another option.
I have an application, pre-approval or hardship arrangement
Applications:
Suncorp is no longer accepting new home loan applications. It says assessment of applications already in progress will continue. Check your particular application with the lender or your broker.
​
Pre-approvals:
Suncorp says existing pre-approvals expired from 4 October 2026 and will not be extended or reinstated. A full application already submitted is a separate status to check.
​
Hardship:
Suncorp says existing financial assistance arrangements continue as agreed. If you are concerned about repayments, contact the bank about support. Any new arrangement depends on your circumstances. Payment deferrals can still accrue interest. A broker review does not replace bank hardship support.
​
Which repayment tool could help?
Suncorp’s official migration calculator
Use Suncorp’s Estimated Home Loan Repayment Calculator to explore estimated monthly principal & interest repayments and its redraw-related options.
​
It uses the figures you enter and does not cover every loan structure. Suncorp’s repayment guidance explicitly excludes construction and company name loans from these calculator scenarios. Actual minimums are set out in ANZ’s notice, not established by an online estimate.
​
The paid-ahead guide explains the difference between the amount owed, available redraw and the repayment calculation.
What should I check against my migration letter?
Start with the bank’s letter or email about your loan, then check:​
-
Your loan type, outstanding debt and available redraw as separate amounts.
-
The account that will become your linked offset and what happens to other accounts.
-
Your current minimum, actual payment and any new amount and start date.
-
Fixed and interest-only expiry dates.
-
Fees and concessions that apply to your accounts, including conditions or expiry.
-
Any action required, the bank’s process and the date relevant to that action.
If a detail is missing or unclear, ask the bank to confirm it. An ordinary product fee table does not establish your migration pricing.

Frequently asked questions
ANZ acquired Suncorp Bank on 31 July 2024. That ownership change is separate from the move of customer loans and accounts to ANZ in 2027. Suncorp Bank is no longer part of Suncorp Group.
You cannot opt out of or delay the scheduled migration. You can discuss the available options for your loan, including changes or refinancing, but each option has its own requirements and timing.
A higher minimum does not apply to every borrower. The paid-ahead principal & interest change depends on your figures and arrangement. Your actual payment may already exceed the new required minimum. Fixed expiry, interest-only expiry and construction changes need separate checks.
Check the terms applying to your own accounts. We cannot infer migration treatment from ANZ’s ordinary product pricing, or assume an existing concession continues or ends without the relevant confirmation.
The move does not automatically make refinancing suitable. Compare staying, possible adjustments and alternatives against your needs and costs. A new loan requires assessment.
Check that your contact details with Suncorp are current and ask the bank about the information for your loan. Do not assume another customer’s letter describes your arrangement.
If you’re unsure about a migration email, SMS or call, check independently with the bank. Access the official Suncorp or ANZ website yourself, open the genuine app or Internet Banking directly, or use independently verified bank contact details.

While checking, avoid links in the message and sharing information. Do not rely solely on links, phone numbers or contact details supplied in an unexpected message. An unexpected message is not necessarily fraudulent, and its appearance or sender details do not prove it is genuine.
