### 2/5 — Frustrating restrictions on password length

*2026-06-02, version 2.4.1*

I created an account and used my password successfully on both the web portal and the standard Suncorp Banking app. However, when I tried to log into the Suncorp Secured App with the exact same credentials, it repeatedly told my password was invalid.

After several lengthy troubleshooting sessions and phone calls, I was eventually told that the Secured App, and only this app, does not accept passwords longer than 16 characters.

There are two major issues with this. First, the error message is misleading. My password wasn’t invalid; it was simply too long. A clear error message would have saved a lot of wasted time and frustration.

Second, the irony isn’t lost on me that the app specifically marketed as the “secured” app requires a shorter password than the other banking platforms. Restricting password length in 2026 feels outdated and runs contrary to modern security best practices.

The support staff were helpful once the issue was identified, but the app’s password limitations and poor error handling made for a frustrating experience.

### 1/5 — Fix this immediately.

*2026-02-27, version 2.4.1*

Doesn't accept a password I JUST used to log into the main banking app. Made a new password, didn't accept the new one either. Absolutely unacceptable. Both passwords were copied straight from a password manager so I'm confident it wasn't an error on my end.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-01-25, version 2.4.1*

Every time I try to log in it asks me to enter a new pin. When I do so it says this may overwrite a previous registration but there is no other option available so I do so. I am immediately returned to the log in screen and get to do it all again in a continuous loop. At no time am I able to access the code I need to make a payment from my account. Worst experience ever

### 2/5 — Can't confirm code

*2026-01-23, version 2.4.1*

I'm having trouble with confirming the code to log in. The app will not let me confirm as the keypad is always in the way. Please help!

### 1/5 — Worst bank app

*2026-01-16, version 2.4.1*

The app if you request an estatement does not put name or address on the statement. It also exports the data in ridiculous formats not useable read without exporting the data then saving as CVS then changing to excel. So 3 steps instead of one

### 1/5 — Utter garbage

*2026-01-02, version 2.4.1*

Cannot even send $100 to a bank without the use of this garbage 
😡

### 1/5 — person

*2025-12-29, version 2.4.1*

Have deleted this app because it wanted to save all information about how I use my phone including how I swipe my screen. 
Wanting way too much information that you shouldn’t be asking for!

### 1/5 — Disgusting

*2025-12-20, version 2.4.1*

Don’t know why anyone would bank with Suncorp. Tried to
Install app but no keypad to type on ID or password,  doesn’t even deserve one star.  Fix it you morons

### 1/5 — Outdated

*2025-12-19, version 2.4.1*

It’s 2025. All other bank Apps provide the OTP functionality through their main app. Either integrate this into your main app or allow people to use third party OTP generators such as Apple Passwords or Google Auth.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2025-11-01, version 2.3.1*

How on earth do I access my bank accounts? It kept giving me a token number to copy time after time. No way to enter my accounts.
Very frustrating so I just deleted it!

### 1/5 — Verges on corruption

*2025-09-25, version 2.3.0*

It's your money and yet they complicate any payment to make it difficult to do the transaction.
I think the biggest shame is we allow this rubbish to happen with our money

### 1/5 — So bad!!

*2025-09-19, version 2.2.2*

Why can’t I transfer my money the app keeps crashing!! Fix it please

### 1/5 — Worst app never works

*2025-09-17, version 2.2.2*

This app is useless, always having token errors. Then you reinstall the app. And it doesn’t work again, Suncorp support is also useless, with regard to resetting the token.

### 1/5 — Unable to Login

*2025-09-17, version 2.2.2*

Everytime I try to login it sends an SMS but gets delivered long time after the session on app is already expired. It’s impossible to use it.

### 3/5 — Suggestions for improvements

*2025-09-16, version 2.2.2*

Does what it says on the tin, but Developer(s), please consider the following suggestions for a much better UX:

1. The app should support biometric login not just PIN, it’s cumbersome digging up the pin for this app every time the user logs in

2. For a smoother UX, take a look at how Xero and other apps do auth. It could be adapted to this use-case like so: when a token is required by the Suncorp App / website, a push notification should arrive to the device with the secure app on it asking “Authorise transaction?” or similar and when tapping it, the user should be authenticated via biometric login, transaction details shown. When the user authorises it the token should be sent back to the calling app/website. This way the need to copy out the token and paste it in the calling app is eliminated as that’s errr prone and annoying as well.

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2025-08-13, version 2.2.2*

Don’t even bother trying to run a business using Suncorp banking. It will cost you time and money with all of the useless bugs.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-08-01, version 2.2.2*

I can’t even transfer my own money to my other bank! So confusing and difficult. Really horrible

### 1/5 — Subcorp

*2025-07-03, version 2.2.2*

Need a token code? Get this app? Oh. No. You need a token code to open the app to get a token code. But I can’t open the app with a token code because I’m asking for a token code and around and around I go as usual

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-06-22, version 2.2.1*

This app is frustrating when we are in urgency in terms of payment transfers. It delays not days but weeks. There bank staff and customer care both have no clue what the errors are.. they have standard instructions with basic information which customer them selves can do. I waisted 3 days to just doing same thing with staff approx 2-3 hrs in each call however still not able to solve my problem. I’m still waiting to hear from the customer care. My call got disconnected but the staff didn’t bother calling me back after spending 2.30 hrs on the call. I don’t have option to reach out to that person again. So irresponsible staff. 🙆‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

### 1/5 — this app made me change banks

*2026-07-12, version 2.4.1*

this was the most frustrating suncorp interaction i’ve ever faced and trust me being with a bank like them.. i’ve had my fair share. 

every single code it gave me did not correlate correctly. i tried many times, refreshed, different devices, to different accounts. nothing. I have opted to change banks than even attempt to call suncorp and waste a day of my life to get no solution.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-07-02, version 2.4.1*

The app has logged me out and saying that when I log in, I don’t have a token set up. I have tried on two different phones to login, set the PIN, deregister old token, and then it redirects me to login and repeat the process again. I had to delete the app and redownload it for it to fully register, but we shouldn’t have to do that.

### 1/5 — beyond terrible

*2026-06-30, version 2.4.1*

will not allow the app to be deactivated on a previous phone - error - try again later  - and wont allow installation on a new phone untill old one is deactivated  - frustrating and uselesss

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-12, version 2.4.1*

Trying to accept the code sent doesn’t work on iPhone 17, continue button hidden below keypad and inactive when you try to slide it up. Customer service advise turning phone on and off and re installing the app maybe 3rd time lucky

### 1/5 — Abhorrent, doesn’t work

*2026-05-28, version 2.4.1*

Log in to the app and then takes me back to the log in page. Can’t log into bank anywhere now. Terrible.

### 1/5 — Frustrating and terrible

*2026-05-20, version 2.4.1*

Frustrating, terrible app and a complete waste of time. Only need to hold the payment. Just ridiculous.  I will not be banking with suncorp in the future

### 1/5 — What is the point of this app?

*2026-05-09, version 2.4.1*

This app is entirely useless. Login, input the code from the text, create a new pin. Loading screen…. back to the login page. Again, and again, and again. And yet my Suncorp banking app won’t allow me to login without the token code from this stupid app!! It is literally useless and I am certainly close to just ditching Suncorp altogether. What is the point if I can’t access my accounts?!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-04-28, version 2.4.1*

As per usual Suncorp solutions this also doesn't work and constantly takes you back to the first part once you've entered all the information and just repeats itself. Meaning I also can't log into the normal app without this! Frustrating

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2026-04-09, version 2.4.1*

New phone and trying move this app across is ridiculously difficult - the only app I’ve had trouble with

### 1/5 — This app creates anger

*2026-04-07, version 2.4.1*

Bad app design. No tech team reviews your own app before publishing

### 5/5 — Great Security App

*2025-11-29, version 2.4.0*

It was confusing at first. I called the customer service and after they explained to me how it works, I think it’s a great app to add an extra layer of security for your account!!

### 5/5 — Simple

*2025-02-06, version 2.1.1*

I found this app easy to download and use. It’s simple and very efficient.

### 5/5 — This works for me

*2024-10-24, version 2.1.1*

Quite literally THE ONLY SUNCORP APP THAT ACTUALLY WORKS!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2024-04-25, version 2.0.0*

Very easy and idiot proof, I use it daily and don’t have any problems

### 5/5 — Great Security App

*2024-01-28, version 1.8.0*

It was confusing at first. I called the customer service and after they explained to me how it works, I think it’s a great app to add an extra layer of security for your account!!

### 5/5 — Works as it should

*2024-01-23, version 1.8.0*

I’ve been using this for about a year now, never had any issues with the app for secure code. Sure it’s not a text, but other banks have similar authenticator apps so this is no different.

### 5/5 — Works fine

*2023-05-22, version 1.6.0*

No glitches. First go at it was straight forward with no issues.

### 5/5 — 5 stars for getting all these 1 star reviews

*2022-07-09*

I’m giving 5 stars for attracting every person who 1 star reviews over their own phone being old and useless, quite an entertains read.

### 5/5 — It’s really great!

*2021-09-29*

I was unsure after reading the reviews but I found this app so easy to install, easier to use and very helpful for large fund transfers. 
I am useless with technology but found this really simple to use. Perfect and thanks :)

### 5/5 — Simple and works for me

*2021-09-26, version 1.4.0*

Set it up in under a minute. Logged on to internet banking and used the generated pin twice. Worked just fine. No more paying fior and carrying around a physical token. 👍😀
