Can I access my Suncorp Clear Options Visa account online rather than waiting for the statement to be mailed?

Joel Marcelo

Hi Karen,

Thanks for leaving a question on finder.

Yes. The easiest way to activate your card is via Suncorp Internet Banking. Register or log into Suncorp Internet Banking and go to Credit Card Services> Card Services> Card Activation/Deactivation. Alternatively, you can call them on their customer service hotline. You must activate your card and set up your PIN before you can start using it. If you are an additional card holder, the primary cardholder is required to activate their card first.

Cheers,

Joel
