How do I make a contribution or deposit into my super account?

Please take note of all contribution limits and eligibility criteria prior to making deposits into superannuation accounts.

In general, the effective date of a contribution is the day when the funds and all required information to process the contribution is received by the fund.

BPAY contributions

Using BPAY® is one of the easiest ways to transfer large deposits into your account. To send funds to your account via BPAY, the financial institution holding the funds must be a BPAY payer. Using your online banking service, log into your account and make a payment to the details listed below. To make a payment into your Macquarie account, you’ll need:

  • the biller code for the contribution type you intend to make, and
  • your BPAY Reference Number.
     

The BPAY biller codes for our Macquarie administered funds are provided below:

EFT contributions

You can transfer funds into your account via electronic funds transfer (EFT) by using your financial institution’s online banking.

Your adviser can create or amend a direct credit facility through Adviser Online. You can only nominate one contribution type (personal or spouse) for EFT which will be used to classify all future contributions made using this method. If you don’t have an adviser, you can change the contribution type by calling us on 1800 025 063, 9am to 5pm (Sydney time) Monday to Friday.

Once the direct credit facility is set up, we’ll provide you with the details you need to make contributions.

Direct debit contributions

Using direct debit, it is easy to set up automatic, regular deposits into your account from an external account in the same name. The minimum direct debit amount is $100 per transaction which can be set up for a specific period or continued indefinitely. You have a choice of frequency – a one-off payment, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly.
 
To establish a direct debit for deposits into your account from another bank account, your adviser can provide and assist you to complete a Direct Debit Request form. Please ensure that the form is signed by all account holders (not third party authorised signatories). If you hold a Macquarie Vision account please use this form.

Rollovers from an external super fund

Your adviser can request a rollover from an external superannuation fund into your Macquarie super account on your behalf.

If you don’t have an adviser who can action this request on your behalf, you can:

  1. Complete a Macquarie Super Rollover authority form. Ensure you read and complete the form carefully to prevent unnecessary delays.
  2. Return it to us via:

How do I claim a tax deduction for super contributions

If you’d like to claim a deduction for your personal contribution, your adviser can assist you to complete and send us a Deduction Notice for Personal Contributions form, or a NAT 71121 form that is available from the ATO. If you hold a Macquarie Vision account please use this form.

There are a number of conditions that need to be met in order to be eligible to claim a tax deduction for your personal contributions, including the work test for age 67+  and timeframes to make the claim. Before claiming a tax deduction, you should talk with your adviser or accountant.

Work test declaration (age 67+)

A number of requirements must be met in order for you to claim a tax deduction for contributions you make under the work test.

For contributions made from 1 July 2022, a work test (or work test exemption) must be met in order for you to claim a tax deduction for contributions you make from age 67 up to the 28th day after the end of the month you turn 75.

  • Work test: The work test requires you to be gainfully employed for at least 40 hours in a period of not more than 30 consecutive days in the financial year in which the contribution is made.
  • Work test exemption: No work test is required in the financial year following the year you retire, provided your total superannuation balance is less than $300,000 as at 30 June of the previous financial year and you were gainfully employed for at least 40 hours in 30 consecutive days in the year of retirement.

The work test (and work test exemption) for individuals making personal deductible contributions will be administered by the ATO when they lodge their income tax return. If you will be 67 or over when you plan to make a personal deductible contribution over age 67, we suggest that you confirm with your adviser whether you meet the requirements to claim a tax deduction, including the work test (or work test exemption) requirement in order to claim a tax deduction.

What if I don't make any super contributions?

If your account remains unfunded for an extended period, we may close your account. This is in line with our disclosure documents. You can find this in:

  • section 10 of the terms and conditions in the investment offer document
  • the ’Accounts with no ongoing balance’ section of the super and pension Product Disclosure Statement.

How do I make a deposit into my cash account?

The information below applies to the following accounts:

  • Macquarie Cash Management Account (CMA)
  • Macquarie Investment Manager (Macquarie Cash Management Account)
  • Macquarie Investment Consolidator (Macquarie Consolidator Cash Account)
  • Macquarie Investment Manager II (Wrap Cash Account)
  • Macquarie Investment Consolidator II (Wrap Cash Account)
  • Macquarie Vision (Macquarie Vision Cash Account).

You can make a payment into your cash account a number of ways:

  • Electronic funds transfer (EFT) deposits
  • Transfers via an overseas bank
  • BPAY deposits
  • Direct debit deposits

EFT deposits

You can transfer funds into your account from your Macquarie account or from most other financial institutions by using their online banking services.

Our branch (BSB) number is 182-512*.

Please note:

  • Transfers from Macquarie accounts will generally reach your account on the same business banking day. This does not include super or pension accounts
  • Transfers from other financial institutions are normally made overnight and generally reach your account the following business banking day. This means a transfer made on a Friday will generally be deposited the following Monday. Transfers made after business hours, however, will take an additional day to reach your account. For example, a transfer made after business hours on a Monday will generally be deposited on Wednesday.

Where you have an SMSF which uses a Macquarie CMA or your SMSF is administered through a Macquarie Investment Consolidator account, we offer an electronic message service that allows your account to receive employer super contribution payments and related messages electronically. The electronic service address (ESA) is MACQUARIESMSF.

For SuperStream rollovers, you’ll need an active ESA that provides for rollover SuperStream services. To find an ESA provider for rollovers, we recommend referring to the ATO’s register of SMSF messaging providers.

*Only for accounts listed at the start of the article. For BSBs relating to Macquarie Cash Management Trusts (CMTs) which were transitioned to Macquarie CMAs, please refer to the Product Information Statement or check your account online.

*If you have a Macquarie Investment Accumulator Account, please use the BSB 182-799 and your account number to make EFT payments into your account.

Transfers via an overseas bank

You can transfer funds to your Macquarie CMA from overseas by:

  • bank draft drawn at an Australian bank, or by
  • telegraphic transfer in Australian dollars (AUD). Please instruct the sending bank to quote our SWIFT code: MACQAU2S XXX.

BPAY deposits

To send funds to your account via BPAY, contact the financial institution holding the funds, which must be a BPAY payer. Use the following details to make the transfer: 

  • Biller code: 667022
  • Reference number: your cash account number

If you have a Macquarie Investment Accumulator Account, please use the Biller code 423152 and your account number as the reference number to make BPAY deposits into your account.

Please note BPAY deposits take two business days to clear.

Direct debit deposits

Direct debits are the easiest way to automate regular deposits into your account.

To set up a direct debit from an account you have with another financial institution, you can elect this on the online application at the time your account is opened and complete the Direct Debit Request form.

This form can also be used to facilitate a one-off direct debit.

The name of the bank account that you're debiting needs to match the name of your Macquarie account. You can request a direct debit from your joint bank account into your individual Macquarie account, just make sure that the direct debit request is signed by both joint account holders.

You’ll need to provide a copy of a recent bank statement (that’s less than six months old) for the account you’re debiting which is used to verify the account details.

In circumstances where the account you are nominating for direct debits doesn’t issue statements, we will accept alternative documents that clearly reflect the account name and details, for example a Transaction Report or screenshot of the online bank statement.
