Frequently asked questions
About Macquarie
What is Macquarie's expertise with cash products?
Macquarie has been a leader in cash management for three decades. Its cash management solutions are used by more than 400,000 investors and more than 10,000 financial advisers. Macquarie has built this position through exceptional service and innovative features and functionality.
Security of your cash investments
How secure is Macquarie?
Macquarie Bank is an Authorised Deposit taking Institution (ADI), like the other retail banks in Australia. ADIs are regulated under the Banking Act 1959 (Cth). Under the Banking Act, if an ADI becomes unable to meet its obligations, its first priority is to meet its deposit liabilities. This means that all bank deposits rank ahead of equity investors and other creditors.
