All Macquarie Online Trading (MOT) accounts need to be linked to a Macquarie Cash Management Account (CMA).
When you want to buy an asset with the MOT account there’s no need to transfer money from the CMA to the MOT account. Once the trade is placed, the system will pull the required money from the CMA to fund the MOT account.
If your client already has a CMA in the same name as the trading account you are opening, you can open a MOT account and link it to the existing CMA.
If your client doesn’t have an existing CMA, you can open a MOT and CMA with a single online application.
