SUN posted a group Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) increase of 3.6% to $1,075 million, helped by a lift in insurance premiums and tight cost management.

Suncorp Bank NPAT fell by 4.3% year on year to $400 million, even as lending increased by 1.9% over the year. Mortgage growth was up 1.3% on the same time last year in the second half of 2017.

  • Bankwest – Same Bank, Different Look. Yes, We're Evolving Our Look, But
    Stay safe online. Never share your personal details or log into online banking accounts directly from an email or SMS. No images? view in browser. Bankwest – same bank, different look. Yes, we’re evolving our look, but rest assured we're still the same Bankwest on the inside – 125 years young and every bit committed to helping you and your customers bank less. While it won’t change the way you, your brokers or your customers bank with us, here’s how we will look a little different: 1. Different logo - we've taken inspiration from our current logo and created a new one that feels familiar. 2. Modern design - a new look that's been designed with a digital-first approach and is fuss- free. 3. Accessible colours - a brighter palette that’s easier for those with visual impairments to view and read info online. Rolling out a new look will take time, so our old logo and new logo will co-exist for a while before our refresh is complete. At first, you'll notice changes to our website, the Bankwest App and emails. After that, we'll update online banking, eStatements and our branches. In the meantime, if you see our old logo on a document, while our new logo is on an email – don't worry, it's still us! We ask that you please update the Bankwest logo across your internal platforms, systems, website, marketing materials, etc, using the attached file provided. To support brokers with keeping their websites and marketing materials up-to-date, we hope you can please share the attached logo and the below disclaimer message with accredited Bankwest brokers in your member base.
