Notifications for Macquarie Authenticator

The Macquarie Authenticator app sends actionable push notifications to your device to verify certian transactions or account changes you've made in Adviser Online.

An actionable push notification is presented on your mobile device with a direct link to the Macquarie Authenticator app. You’ll see information about the activity you've completed so you can feel confident to approve or decline the request. You’ll need to have notifications turned on for push notifications to work. You can find these in your device settings.

You shouldn't be receiving a push notification for actions that you did not initiate. However, this could occur in scenarios such as:

• Clicking resend verification and receiving a delayed push notification due to slow network connectivity
• An action that's suspected to be fraudulent.  

If you received a push notification that is suspected to be fraudulent, you should deny the action immediately to stop the action from completing. You should then immediately change your password which will log out all active sessions and prevent any further fraudulent activities and call Macquarie to report the incident. 

1. Click Deny on the push notification
2. Click Change password
3. Follow the change password prompts
4. Call us on 133 174 (+61 2 8245 4470), 24/7, to report the suspected fraudulent transaction.
