Why do I need Macquarie Authenticator for some payments?

Larger payments will need to be verified via the Macquarie Authenticator app. Instructions for how to setup the app can be found in our article Set up Macquarie Authenticator.

It’s important to ensure the BSB and account number are correct. The account name is not used for processing payments and we do not match the account name against the account number you provide. Entering incorrect details may mean the wrong account is credited and it may not be possible to recover the funds.
