I would like to deposit 25000.00 plus in a Macquarie saving account for months at 4 % which is the best number to call
Hi Larry,
You can open a Macquarie Savings Account online without calling or visiting a branch. If you did want to speak to someone about the account before you open it, you can contact the bank at +61 2 8232 3333.
Thanks,

Can I have a statement of my account # 192512-961330636
Hi Artur,
Finder is a comparison website and we don’t have access to your bank account information or accounts. Generally, depending on the type of your account, you can download statements from Macquarie Online Banking and the Macquarie Mobile Banking app. If you have trouble downloading your statement we recommend you call Macquarie bank on 1800 806 310 to request a statement.
Thanks,
Alison
Which account would be preferable to open for the management of stocks and share transactions? Macquarie Transaction Account or Macquarie Cash Management Account and is there any interest ascribed to either of these accounts?
Hi Susan,
Of those two accounts, the Macquarie Cash Management Account is specially designed for SMSF trustees, online traders and professional investors. This account also has online trading integration and is SMSF ready. While the Macquarie Transaction Account is designed for personal use for day-to-day transactions and spending.
Make sure you review the Product Disclosure Statements and Terms & Conditions and consider whether the product is right for you.
Regards,
Alison
I’d like to open a term deposit but do not have any association with the Macquarie Bank. Do I need a savings account or can I directly deposit money into a term deposit. I’d like to do this today.
Hi Kaaren,
Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.
You must have a savings or Macquarie transaction account before you may open a term deposit account online. Please contact Macquarie Bank directly for more info on opening a term deposit account with them.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Jeni
What accounts do you offer for business savings? Or can one put funds in a normal savings account under a business name?
Hi Wendy,
Thank you for reaching out.
It would be advisable if your business will be using a business bank account to maintain and grow your business effectively.
I suggest you visit our Business Banking Finder to compare business banking solutions. There’s a tab above the comparison table where you can toggle depending on what account does your business needs. Once you have chosen a particular account, you may then click on the “Go to site” button and you will be redirected to the bank’s website where you can proceed with your application or get in touch with their representatives for further assistance.
Hope this helps! 😊
Kind Regards,
Mai
