Paying bills, managing debt, tracking spending, or even buying a home can be challenging for all of us, particularly when times are busy.
With more than two-thirds of Australians feeling overwhelmed about making financial decisions, the new Suncorp App is helping people take back control.
Released to customers today, the Suncorp App brings together some of the Group’s network of brands, including Suncorp, AAMI, GIO, APIA, and Shannons, to give customers a complete view of their insurance policies and accounts, as well as giving them access to Suncorp’s third-party solutions.
Suncorp CEO Customer Marketplace Pip Marlow said the Suncorp App has been designed around financial needs and making things easy for customers by giving them a central place to manage their home, mobility, money, and wellbeing needs.
Managing our financial wellbeing is a big part of our lives, whether it’s saving for a goal, organising bills or getting a grasp on our spending
Pip Marlow, Suncorp CEO Customer Marketplace
“We want to make this an easier process for our customers by giving them a central place to view their financial profile. The App’s intuitive design and features will help customers feel more informed and confident to make financial decisions as their priorities and goals change.
“By building the App internally we can build on its capabilities and functionalities as our customers’ needs evolve and new technologies become available.”
The Suncorp App’s Dollar Tracker categorises spending across transactions and purchases, giving customers a better understanding of their spending and saving habits. The built-in rewards program provides discounts from more than 100 partners on everyday purchases like groceries and petrol.
Scout, the Suncorp App’s virtual assistant, provides 24/7 support for customers to ask simple things like how much can I spend from my savings account, or when my car insurance expires.
This is more than a mobile banking app – it’s a tool to help our customers manage their life
Pip Marlow, Suncorp CEO Customer Marketplace
“Customers want consistently great experiences across the channels they choose to engage with us on, especially online. The App is a fundamental step in our strategy to create a digital-first environment and we’re excited to release it to our customers.”
