Security of your cash investments

How secure is my deposit?

Macquarie Cash XL is a bank account with Macquarie Bank Limited and is eligible for coverage under the Retail Guarantee. The Retail Guarantee is the term we use to describe the Australian Government’s guarantee under the Financial Claims Scheme, which applies to aggregate retail cash deposits of up to $A1 million held by any one account holder with Macquarie Bank Limited.

Please note that any aggregate cash deposits you have with Macquarie Bank Limited that are less than $A1 million (including any cash deposits in your Cash XL account will continue to be covered by the Retail Guarantee until 12 October 2011.

Further information about the Financial Claims Scheme can be obtained from the APRA website at www.apra.gov.au and the APRA hotline on 1300 131 060.

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.
