Using your credit card and offset account
Using your credit card and offset account
- One way to make the most of your offset home loan is to use your accompanying credit card for your day-to-day purchases.
- When you keep savings in your offset account and pay off your credit card balance in full before your interest free period ends, you could minimise both the amount of interest you pay on your home loan and the interest you pay on purchases.

We don’t charge our Macquarie credit card customers international transaction fees on overseas purchases, both in-store and online, or on overseas cash withdrawals. A cash advance fee will still apply on overseas cash withdrawals. You’ll also continue to earn rewards points on eligible international purchases on your Macquarie Black or Platinum credit card.
This could mean savings for you if you regularly travel or shop online with international merchants.
How does foreign currency conversion work for credit cards?
Whenever you make an in-store or online purchase or use your credit card to obtain a cash advance, in a currency other than Australian dollars, the transaction will be converted to Australian dollars. When you complete the payment, you might be given the choice to pay in the foreign currency or convert the amount to Australian dollars.
If you choose to pay in the foreign currency, this amount will be converted to Australian dollars by Visa, using the applicable exchange rate on the date the purchase is debited to your account. Remember, exchange rates may fluctuate between the time your purchase is authorised and the time we debit your account.
Under the Visa scheme, if the purchase is made in United States dollars, Canadian dollars, New Zealand dollars, Singapore dollars, Pounds Sterling, Euros or Japanese Yen then the amount will be converted directly into Australian dollars. Purchases made in any other foreign currency will be converted into United States dollars before being converted into Australian dollars. The online conversion rate calculator shows you the indicative rates set by Visa for these conversions.
If you choose to pay in Australian dollars, the merchant will convert the foreign currency into Australian dollars at the time of the transaction. This is called ‘dynamic currency’ conversion. The exchange rate is not determined by Visa but by the merchant’s dynamic currency conversion service provider.
You won’t incur an international transaction fee, however some merchants may charge additional fees, so choosing to pay in Australian dollars can be more costly.
You might come across dynamic currency conversion if you’re:
- shopping online with an international merchant and the prices are displayed in Australian dollars, or
- travelling overseas and you’re given the option to pay your hotel or restaurant bill in either Australian dollars or the local currency.
Statements will be available online monthly, at the end of each billing cycle. You’ll receive a credit card statement monthly if you’ve made transactions during that period. See Understanding Interest for further information.
