Cash transfers and settlement

You can transfer funds into your CMA from your other Macquarie accounts or from most other financial institutions by using their online banking services.

Our branch (BSB) number is 182-512*.

Please note:

• Transfers from Macquarie accounts will generally reach your account on the same business banking day. This does not include super or pension accounts
• Transfers from other financial institutions are normally made overnight and generally reach your account the following business banking day. This means a transfer made on a Friday will generally be deposited the following Monday. Transfers made after business hours, however, will take an additional day to reach your account. For example, a transfer made after business hours on a Monday will generally be deposited on Wednesday.

You can transfer funds to your Macquarie CMA from overseas by: 

• bank draft drawn at an Australian bank, or by
• telegraphic transfer in Australian dollars (AUD). Please instruct the sending bank to quote our SWIFT code: MACQAU2S XXX.

To send funds to your Macquarie CMA via BPAY^®, contact the financial institution holding the funds, which must be a BPAY payer. Use the following details to make the transfer:

• Biller code: 667022
• Reference number: your cash account number.

Please note BPAY deposits take two business days to clear.

Direct debits are the easiest way to automate regular deposits into your account. 
 
To set up a direct debit from an account you have with another financial institution, you can elect this on the online application at the time your account is opened and complete the Direct Debit Request form. 
 
This form can also be used to facilitate a one-off direct debit. 
 
The name of the bank account that you're debiting needs to match the name of your Macquarie account. You can request a direct debit from your joint bank account into your individual Macquarie account, just make sure that the direct debit request is signed by both joint account holders. 
 
You’ll need to provide a copy of a recent bank statement (that’s less than six months old) for the account you’re debiting which is used to verify the account details. 
 
In circumstances where the account you are nominating for direct debits doesn’t issue statements, we will accept alternative documents that clearly reflect the account name and details, for example a Transaction Report or screenshot of the online bank statement.

Write the following depositing account details on the back of each cheque:

• account name
• account number
• account BSB
• a contact number (mobile or landline).

Post the cheque(s) to:   

Macquarie Bank Limited 
GPO Box 4045  
Sydney NSW 2001

You can also deposit a cheque at any NAB branch.

Please note: It generally takes three business days for Australian dollar cheques, including bank cheques, to clear.
