"I applied for the Macquarie Cash Management Account for my SMSF. The process was all online and so easy. I applied on the weekend and my new account was open within 2 business days after submitting the certified paperwork. Simpler than going into a bank and having to do it in person, which some require, and as a bonus, they offer a savings account with the Macquarie Cash Management Accelerator."

Hi Staven,
Thank you for your comment.
The interest on the Cash Management account is calculated using stepped interest rates, which means that you’ll be paid a different interest rate for different portions of your balance. Balances between $0 and $4,999.99 will not earn interest and any balance above $5,000 will earn the interest rate, hence, you’ll earn interest for the first balances of $5,000 +.
Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jhezelyn

I have a cash management account. Can I get a debit card to go with it??

Hi Clare,
Thanks for your question.
The Macquarie Cash Management account does not come with a debit card. However, if you want to withdraw or get money from this account, you have several options available:
1. Transfer money to any Australian bank account
2. Use BPAY to make payments
3. Set-up a one-off or recurring payments.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Anndy

With a Cash Management Account, are you required to regularly deposit funds? I am considering the Macquarie Bank Cash Management Account.

Hi Pauline,
Thanks for your question.
There’s no minimum deposit required per month on this account, although it should be noted lack of any transactions for up to 3 years may qualify it as unclaimed money. However your bank should notify you before unclaimed money is handed over to ASIC.
Hope this helps.

Does interest get paid on the first $5,000 or only on the balance above $5,000?
