What third party authority levels are available for individuals for a CMA or Wrap IDPS account?

Your clients can authorise an individual to operate or view their Macquarie Cash Hub Account, Macquarie Wrap Account, Macquarie Vision Account and/or Macquarie Term Deposit Account on their behalf.

Different levels of third party authority are available depending on the account your client holds:

  • View authority is available for all individuals across all cash hub accounts (except Accelerator and Vision Savings).
  • Authorised signatory authority is only available to certain account types or roles. The table below will help you understand who can be appointed as an authorised signatory depending on the account type.

Registering someone for third party authority gives them access to an account only you or your client would view otherwise. Please refer to our terms and conditions for the definitions and what they’ll be authorised to do.
