How can I request a DEFT refund?

For your security, please ask an account signatory (or signatories if the account is two-to-sign) to send us an email (from the registered email address in your Macquarie profile) to business@macquarie.com, using the following template:

Email address: business@macquarie.com

Email subject line: DEFT refund request

Name:

I request that my DEFT payment be refunded:

  • DEFT receipt number (available in Macquarie Business Online)
  • DEFT reference number
  • Original payment date
  • Original payment amount
  • Refund Amount (if requesting a partial refund for card or direct debit payments)

Please note: Refunds can only be processed to the original bank account or card used to make the payment.

How long will a DEFT refund take?

Once we receive instructions and process the refund, the payment will generally reach your payer within 3 business days.  

As BPAY refunds need to be ‘accepted’ by the payer’s bank, these may take longer.
