Interest rates

Interest on the Macquarie CMA is calculated using stepped interest rates, which means that account holders may be paid a different interest rate for different portions of their balance.

Balance portion	CMA Advised accounts	Accelerator Advised accounts
$0-4,999.99	0.25% pa^**	0.90% pa
$5,000 +	0.25% pa^**	0.90% pa

Interest rates effective from 1 October 2020 and are subject to change without notice.

** Rate includes 0.25% pa adviser rebate and is available to advised accounts who opened accounts on or after 1 July 2014. If your account was opened before 1 July 2014, we recommend you check your statement or speak with your adviser for further information on your current interest rate.

For the interest rates that apply to cash accounts linked to wrap, please visit the wrap page.

Interest on cash accounts linked to wrap are calculated differently. However, clients who close their wrap account but decide to keep their CMA will, at that point, then be subject to the stepped interest rates listed above.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Why are email and mobile details mandatory in the application process?

We’re using email more and more as the preferred way to communicate with your clients when needed about their statements being available, and other important account-related information.

As we move to more digital methods of providing account information, we encourage all clients to ensure their email and other contact information, including mobile, is up to date.

To ensure we have up to date contact information for your new clients, this is mandatory in the application process.

Both my clients use the same email. Will this cause an issue when opening a joint account online?

No. Your clients will be able to open a joint account and can continue sharing the same email address.

One welcome email will be sent to the email address for both clients. They will need to individually click on the link and enter their date of birth. Once entered, they will be taken to their unique application form. Each client will have their own application form and will need to approve them both for the account to be opened successfully.

It’s important to ensure that both clients have ongoing access to the email address. This is our primary way of communicating with clients. It’s important that your clients nominate their current email address and mobile telephone number for the purposes of receiving notices and information about their account.

What are my deposits being used for?

At Macquarie, we empower people to innovate and invest for a better future.

We take our obligations as a responsible lender and a signatory to the Banking Code of Practice seriously, and we’re proud to reward our savers and borrowers with award-winning products including great rates, choice and an exceptional experience.

Deposits held by Macquarie Bank support our lending to Australian households and businesses, including home loans, vehicle loans and loans to support local small to medium sized businesses.

Macquarie’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitment reflects our responsibility to our clients, shareholders and the communities in which we operate.
