Will this interest rate change?
Macquarie Bank reserves the right to change our interest rates and you will be notified in advance. This could occur through a number of channels, such as:
- In writing
- Electronically (subject to condition 43 in your Conditions of Use), or
- By advertising the change in a newspaper circulating through your State or Territory.
If we notify you of a change by advertisement, we will also give you particulars of the change with your next Statement after the change takes effect.
How is interest calculated?
Interest is calculated based on the balance you have outstanding on each day of the statement cycle. The interest rate, also known as the 'Annual Percentage Rate' (APR) is included on the front page of every statement you receive. Interest is calculated based on the daily rate of interest (the APR divided by the number of days per year). This rate is also included on each monthly statement and is effective for interest calculations in that statement period.
If you need help, you can contact us via live chat through Macquarie Online Banking and the Macquarie Mobile Banking app.
How many interest free days are applicable?
Up to 55 days interest free on purchases only applies if your account is paid in full by the due date shown each month (excluding any balance transfers and Interest Free Finance balances that are in the specified promotional period).
What other fees and charges are applicable?
The fees and charges applicable are:
| Type of fee | Details |
|---|---|
| Cash Advance Fee | $5 or 3% of the value of the transaction, whichever is the greater, applies to each cash advance made on your account, debited to your account at the time of the cash advance. |
