Frequently asked questions

What is the Macquarie Cash Management Accelerator Account?

The Macquarie Cash Management Accelerator Account (Accelerator) is a high interest savings deposit account that links to your Macquarie Cash Management Account (CMA). You can earn more on your cash funds while waiting for investment opportunities or simply get a higher return on your savings. The Accelerator offers you the convenience of having your investment cash hub and your surplus investment cash account in one place.

Accelerator benefits

Most investors use an Accelerator account as a place to keep their excess investment cash due to a higher interest rate than the standard CMA. Please note that interest rates are variable and subject to change. You can view the current Accelerator interest rates here.

Making payments from your Cash Management Account

You can send real-time payments from your CMA internally (to Macquarie Transaction, Savings, Business Savings, Offset or Cash Management accounts) or externally to other NPP-enabled institutions. Please read Payment cut off and processing times for other types of payment processing times.

You can make a payment into your cash account using these options:

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

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

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

Messaging requirements for self-managed superannuation funds (SMSFs):

*Only for accounts listed at the start of the article. For BSBs relating to Macquarie Cash Management Trusts (CMTs) which were transitioned to Macquarie CMAs, please refer to the Product Information Statement or check your account online.

*If you have a Macquarie Investment Accumulator Account, please use the BSB 182-799 and your account number to make EFT payments into your account.

Internal funds transfer

Transfers via an overseas bank

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

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

If you have a Macquarie Investment Accumulator Account, please use the Biller code 423152 and your account number as the reference number to make BPAY deposits into your account.

Please note BPAY deposits take two business days to clear.

Making direct debits

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’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’re nominating for direct debits doesn’t issue statements, we’ll accept alternative documents that clearly reflect the account name and details, for example a transaction report or screenshot of the online bank statement.

Receiving payments to your Cash Management Account

To receive real-time payments directly to your CMA, simply provide your Macquarie BSB and account number to the payer. NPP is a free service and you’ll not be charged for using it. You can check which financial institutions are set up with NPP.

You can also view your transaction history and periodic account statements via Macquarie Online Banking and the Macquarie Mobile Banking app.
