The Consumer Data Right

A new banking landscape

A new banking landscape

Open banking is the first stage of the Consumer Data Right (CDR), an industry-wide right giving you the ability to conveniently access your data as held by businesses and to authorise its sharing with trusted and accredited third parties. Some benefits of CDR are listed below.

  • Choice: The sharing of generic product information between banks enables you to choose between different banking products and services more easily.
  • Control: Gain visibility of the third parties accessing your banking data and withdraw your authorisation for them to access it at any time.
  • Security: Be confident that your banking data is being shared under the regime’s strong privacy and security protections.
  • Convenience: Automate the sharing of data that you may have had to manually provide before.

Frequently Asked Questions

CDR is a law first passed by the Federal Government in 2019. It provides consumers with rights to conveniently access their banking data and share it with select accredited third parties. In the banking sector, this regime is also called open banking.

For more information on what CDR is and its benefits, the Australian government has created cdr.gov.au.

Consumer data sharing allows eligible customers to share their consumer data with third parties of their choosing, accredited under the Consumer Data Right (CDR).

This gives customers control over their data and the power to manage how and with which accredited data recipients their consumer data is shared.

Please see the CDR website for more information about how CDR works.

Account holders can instruct us to share their consumer data for the following account types:

  • Macquarie Transaction Account
  • Macquarie Savings Account
  • Macquarie Black Credit Card
  • Macquarie Platinum Credit Card
  • Macquarie Ratesaver Credit Card
  • Macquarie Cash Management Account (CMA)
  • Macquarie CMA Accelerator
  • Macquarie Term Deposit
  • Macquarie Basic Home Loan
  • Macquarie Offset Home Loan
  • Macquarie Line of Credit.


Only consumer data held in an individual capacity (not joint) can currently be shared. Joint accounts will be made available by 1 October 2022.

You can find this information in our CDR Policy.
