Media Release Suncorp Group 9 June 2023
Suncorp Group responds to the ACCC’s Statement of Preliminary Views Suncorp Group today acknowledged the release of its response to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (ACCC’s) Statement of Preliminary Views regarding the proposed sale of Suncorp Bank to ANZ.
Suncorp Group CEO Steve Johnston said Suncorp’s detailed response to the ACCC supported the regulator’s thorough consideration process and also addressed the matters raised by Bendigo and Adelaide Bank in its submission to the ACCC. “Our response outlines why we continue to believe there to be no real commercial likelihood of any alternative transaction such as a merger with any other mid-tier bank, and why the proposed transaction with ANZ is in the best interests of our customers, shareholders, employees and communities,” Mr Johnston said.
