Transactional and deposit accounts

Peak performance from your cash reserves

Fast, efficient banking with greater control means you can spend more time focussing on your charitable cause or your industry members and less time on your banking.

Our online banking system, Active Banking, allows you to manage your accounts easily and securely from any location, with the ability to make multiple streamlined payments and set up different access levels for authorisation within your team.

Why bank with Macquarie?

  • Get a competitive rate of return on surplus cash with our at-call and term deposits.
  • Manage your accounts easily and securely with a range of enhanced features such as Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), process group payments like regular salary payments via file upload, future dated single payments, recurring payments and BPAY®.
  • Easy online access to your records with online statements as far back as the account opening date in an easy-to-read, audit-compliant format.
  • Get greater security and control by selecting the level of access per user, such as how many people and who is required to authorise transactions.
  • Safe, reliable merchant services allowing you to offer your clients payment by credit card, charge card or debit card using a handheld wireless merchant terminal or online merchant service.
  • Your Relationship Manager is a not for profit industry expert who is with you for the long term. You will have direct phone access to them, and as they only work with a small portfolio of clients you can expect them to take the time to work with your business.

Managing payments

Lighten your donor and member payment workload

Integration with your management software 
Manage your regular donations or memberships more efficiently and reduce administration time and effort.

Our tailor made payment facilities are available for your business and integrate with your database management software so you can manage high payment volumes effortlessly.

Easier payment collection and reporting 
Macquarie’s payment and transaction processing capability (through DEFT) provides our difference in the market.

DEFT has the ability to handle large volume transactions which charities and associations regularly manage.

DEFT streamlines and automates member payments or donation processing and provides easy and efficient reconciliation of payments by consolidating funds for settlement. Clarity is offered across all campaign or donation sources with a single source for reporting.

Active Banking
Active Banking is our online banking system. View and control all your donations or memberships in one place, with the features you need including:

  • EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) payments
  • donations or member payments
  • BPAY® payments
  • access to online transaction archives for ten years
  • bulk member donations or memberships.

Tailored BPAY payment solutions help you automatically manage the reconciliation of donations or memberships from your management software.

Donations or memberships can be made online at the click of a button. This reduces costly cheque processing, administration costs and the potential for cheque fraud.
