Company Overview
Company Overview
Suncorp-Metway Ltd (SUN) is a Queensland-based financial services conglomerate offering general insurance, retail and business banking, and wealth management services.
Company History
The Suncorp-Metway Group was formed on 1 December 1996 from the merger of three Queensland financial institutions: Suncorp; Metway Bank; and QIDC (Queensland Industry Development Corporation). The merger created a diversified financial services group, incorporating banking, insurance and wealth management. In June 2001, SUN acquired GIO, AMP's Australian general insurance business. On 2 July 2001, the ASX code changed from SME to SUN. In March 2007, SUN merged with general insurer Promina.
Differentiating Factor
SUN's "Financial Conglomerate" business model differentiates it from other financial services groups in that it provides a good diversity of earnings from traditional banking businesses, wealth management products and general insurance. The SUN brand has a strong presence in the Queensland market, while the GIO and individual Promina brands are well recognised in NSW. The diversity of businesses provides SUN with a unique opportunity to cross-sell products across its various customer bases.
Major Customers & Competitors
SUN's customers range from small retail clients to small to medium businesses. Banking products include savings, lending and transaction products. In general insurance, SUN offers personal product lines in Home, Motor and CTP plus Workers Compensation and various commercial lines. In banking, its customers are mainly in Queensland, while it has strong general insurance market shares in Queensland, NSW and Victoria. Competitors include IAG, QBE and Allianz plus banks such as BOQ and the majors.
