The new service will offer discounted brokerage fees to its own 2.3 million customers while also offering rates designed to attract other share traders.
The service will be sourced through HP JDV (formerly Hartley Poynton Ltd who will be respon-sible for the administration of Suncorp Metway Share Trade, processing all online trading and settlement.
General manager business lines Greg Moynihan says in Queensland one in every two residents are Suncorp Metaway customers and claims the new online broking site has the potential to be-come the biggest of any Queensland-based financial services providers.
“Anyone with a Suncorp Metway product, including a bank account, investment product or in-surance policy, can trade on the site at a price of $23.95 for trades under $15,000, or at a rate of 0.16% for trades over $15,000,” he says.

He says there are other online brokerage sites in the market, but investors trading on the Internet make a point of looking closely at the sites terms and conditions.
