Frequently asked questions

During your trip make sure to keep your card somewhere safe. We also suggest you take a backup card or have alternate access to funds in case your card is lost or stolen. 

If your debit card is lost, stolen or damaged, please notify us right away via Macquarie Online Banking or the Macquarie Mobile Banking app.

Once you’ve reported your card lost or stolen, your old physical card will be locked and you won’t be able to use it for transactions until you receive and activate your new card. 

If your old card has been added to your digital wallet, your new digital card will automatically be added to Apple Pay or Google Pay, and you can start using it straight away without waiting for your new card to arrive in the mail.

If you choose to make a purchase in a foreign currency, the amount will be converted into Australian dollars using the Mastercard FX Rate.

A purchase made in a foreign currency will have an approximate amount in Australian dollars displayed at time of purchase. This approximate amount will be displayed via Macquarie Online Banking and the Macquarie Mobile Banking app, whilst the transaction is awaiting settlement.

Once the transaction is finalised the transaction amount will be updated to reflect the final foreign exchange rate that has been applied.
