The announcement comes as the bank launches a market-wide refinance cashback offer of up to $3,000 for any mortgage customer looking to switch to Suncorp. 

Suncorp Executive General Manager Lending Glenn Haslam said the bank wanted to thank health, education and emergency services workers putting themselves on the frontline every day to help Australians during the coronavirus pandemic.

“As many Australians manage the financial strain of coronavirus, this offer will support households by putting cash in the pockets of Australian homeowners,” Mr Haslam said. 

“We understand that customers want the choice – to use this extra cash to help with the household budget or to own their home sooner.

“If you haven’t reviewed your home loan for a while, you could be missing out on big savings, especially in this current low rate environment, so contact your local Suncorp branch or your broker or apply online.”
