Set up Macquarie Authenticator

To set up the Macquarie Authenticator app on your device, all you need is a registered Australian mobile number, your Macquarie ID and password.
 

Follow the steps below to set up and verify Macquarie Authenticator on your device.

The Macquarie Authenticator app is free to download from your app store – just search for ‘Macquarie Authenticator’. Or you can use these links:
 

Linking your device means you will automatically receive push notifications from Macquarie Authenticator on that device, instead of SMS messages, asking you to verify certain transactions or account changes

To link your device to your Macquarie ID:

1. Open the Macquarie Authenticator app on your phone or device 
2. Tap on Set up Authenticator
3. Select and confirm a six-digit PIN you can use to log in to Macquarie Authenticator (this will be different to your mobile banking pin)

4. Choose if you’d like to log in to Macquarie Authenticator using facial recognition (for iOS devices) or fingerprint recognition (for Android devices). Or tap on Skip if you would rather log in with a 6-digit pin.

5. Once you’re logged in, you can link your device to your Macquarie ID. Depending on the type of Macquarie account(s) you have, you can choose to:
    
   • Set up manually (available for Personal, Adviser or Business accounts) 
   • Scan a QR code in Macquarie Online Banking (available for Personal, Adviser or Business accounts)
   • Set up with the Macquarie Mobile Banking app (available for Personal accounts only)

See below for instructions for each option.

1. Click Confirm on the 'Important Information' screen
2. Click Next
3. Enter the SMS safe code that has been sent to your mobile (If you already have registered Macquarie Authenticator on another device, you will be asked to verify from that device)

4. If this is the first time installing Macquarie Authenticator you will be prompted to:
   • enable push notifications (tap on Allow). If you click ‘Don’t Allow’, you won’t be able to receive notifications from Macquarie Authenticator on your device.
   • review a training simulator. 

5. Click Done

Once the setup process is complete, your device will automatically receive actionable push notifications when prompted to verify actions or account changes.

If you’ve already downloaded the Macquarie Authenticator app from your app store, you can link multiple Macquarie IDs to the same app.

2. Select Menu 
3. Select Add new   
4. Add your new Macquarie ID and Password and log in.
