1. Introduction

These Terms and Conditions apply to your use of Electronic Banking. The various components of Electronic Banking are provided for certain Macquarie accounts by MBL if stated in the relevant Account Terms and Conditions.

Each Authorised User will be given the opportunity to review and accept these Terms and Conditions upon first using Electronic Banking. Additionally, please note:

  • the first use of any Access Method in connection with an Account will constitute the Account holder’s agreement to these Terms and Conditions; and
  • the first Authorised User to accept these Terms and Conditions does so on behalf of all Account holders (unless already accepted prior) – this also applies to any updates made to the Terms and Conditions from time to time.

If there are any inconsistencies between these Terms and Conditions and any Account Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions will prevail. Except where stated otherwise, information available from hyperlinks in these terms and conditions are for information only and do not form part of these terms and conditions.

 

ePayments Code

The ePayments Code (Code) is an industry code administered by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). The Code regulates electronic payments, including ATM, EFTPOS and card transactions, online payments, internet (online) and mobile banking, telephone banking, direct debits and BPAY®. It applies in addition to other regulatory and licensing requirements that apply to us. The Code does not apply to products designed and established primarily for business purposes.

From the date of our adoption of the Code we will comply with the Code in relation to transactions which are governed by it.

 

Access

You must have a mobile phone number in order to transact on Electronic Banking.

For information on how to register for, log into and use Electronic Banking, please visit our Help Centre.

 

Authorised Users

Subject to the Account Terms and Conditions and completion of the applicable on-boarding and identification requirements, you may nominate another person to have access to your Account(s) by completing the appropriate form. Depending on the type of authority you have selected, Authorised Users may be able to view, or both view and transact on, your Accounts through Electronic Banking, using their own Macquarie ID and Password, TPIN or (where enabled) Biometric Data stored on their Device.

You must ensure that Authorised Users comply with these Terms and Conditions where they apply to them. You will be liable for any transaction made by an Authorised User within the authority you give to them. Wherever “You” is used throughout these Terms and Conditions the relevant obligation or requirement also applies to any Authorised Users, as the context requires.

You may cancel the authority of an Authorised User by giving us notice in accordance with your Account signing instructions.

 

Telephone Banking

Telephone Banking is a service which enables you or an Authorised User to access and/or transact on certain Accounts using a touch tone telephone. To access Telephone Banking you need a Macquarie ID and a TPIN, and you need to call 133 275.

For Macquarie Cash Management Accounts you may be able to:

  • access account balance and transaction history (the five most recent transactions);
  • pay bills using BPAY; and
  • make a Pay Anyone Payment to a Nominated Account

Please note - In accordance with recent notices and announcements that we’re provided to impacted customers, Telephone Banking may not be available from 1 March 2024 and no new TPINs can be registered against your Macquarie ID before then.

2. What you should do to help keep your money safe (Security Guidelines)

You have various means of accessing your Account, making and authorising transactions – i.e., Passcodes, Devices and (where available) Payment Cards, Card Details and digital wallets. Maintaining secrecy and security of all these things is very important, as whoever has access to them may be able to perform transactions on your Account.

These requirements are designed to help keep your Passcodes, Payment Cards, Card Details and Devices secure. By following these requirements, you can assist in preventing unauthorised transactions on your Account. Your liability for unauthorised transactions is determined under section 4.

Failure to observe these requirements may mean that you are liable for losses caused by unauthorised transactions.

 

2.1 Inform us of any security compromise ASAP

You or any Authorised User must inform us as soon as you become aware of any Passcode, Device, Payment Card or Card Details having potentially been misused, lost or stolen, had their security breached, or you otherwise suspect the security or secrecy of them may be compromised.

You can contact us 24 hours a day, seven days a week using the details provided on your Payment Card or Device (if applicable) or by calling us on 13 31 74.

You must give us any information that you or any Authorised User has or can reasonably obtain regarding the loss, misuse, theft or other compromising circumstance.

If the compromise relates to a Payment Card you can also use Electronic Banking to block your card from performing any further transactions.

 

2.2 Keep your payment cards and card details secure

To protect your Payment Card and Card Details, you must:

  • not give your Card Details to any other person unless you want to make a payment to them
  • not permit any other person to use your Payment Card, or to add it to their Device
  • take all reasonable steps to protect your Payment Card from loss or theft
  • minimise the risk of losing your Payment Card or Device or allowing your Payment Card or Device to be used by someone else, for instance by keeping your Payment Card or Device in sight when making a transaction
  • ensure that you immediately retrieve your Payment Card or Device (and receipt, if any) after making a payment, including from an ATM
  • report any loss, theft or misuse of your Payment Card or Card Details in accordance with section 2.1
  • use care not to display your Payment Card or Card Details to anyone – such as by posting an image of the front or back of your card with its details visible on an internet forum, blog or a public place; or being mindful when out in public and in view of street cameras, and
  • use care to prevent anyone from seeing your Card Details when you use them to make a payment.

2.3 Keep your devices secure

You must take all reasonable steps to protect the security of your Devices – e.g. computers, mobile phones, tablets, watches or any other device which can access Electronic Banking.

Reasonable steps include:

  • protecting your Devices from viruses
  • not maintaining or automating passwords within your Device;
  • setting screen locks, strong passwords and ensuring that others do not have access to the use of your Device; and
  • logging out from Electronic Banking at the end of each session.

If you wish to use Biometric Data to access your Device or Electronic Banking, or to make payments using a digital wallet, you must ensure that no other person’s Biometric Data is stored on the Device. If someone else’s Biometric Data can be used to access your Device, that person may be able to view your Account(s) and perform transactions. Subject to clause 4.2(a), we will treat as authorised, and you will be responsible for, any transactions performed using the Biometric Data of someone else that has been used to access the Device. This is particularly important for cases of ‘friendly fraud’ – i.e. people or children who you allow to access your Device, either through saving their own Biometric Data on the Device or by knowing your Passcode.

You acknowledge that, for security purposes, we reserve the right at any time to log you out of Electronic Banking, for example if you are inactive for a period of time after having logged on.

Where you or an Authorised User remove some system level restrictions on a Device by, for example, 'jailbreaking' or 'rooting' the Device, then you are responsible for any loss arising from unauthorised activity carried out on the Device, including in respect of your Account(s).

2.4 Keep all Passcodes secret

To protect your Passcodes you must:

  • not disclose any Passcode to anyone, including a family member or friend;
  • take care to prevent anyone seeing a Passcode being entered into an ATM or point of sale terminal, a computer, telephone or other Device;
  • try to commit all Passcodes to memory and not record them by any means (including by storing them on a Device) without making a reasonable attempt to disguise them;
  • not write or indicate your Passcode (whether disguised or not) on your Payment Card, phone or other Device, or on other articles which could be lost or stolen simultaneously with the Payment Card, phone or other Device (e.g. a phone case) unless you have made a reasonable attempt to disguise or protect the security of the Passcode;
  • not choose a Passcode which can be easily guessed including, for example, a Passcode that uses repeated characters, consecutive numbers, or a Passcode that represents a recognisable part of your name, birth date, telephone number, driver's licence number or similar;
  • change all Passcodes at regular intervals (where they are capable of being changed);
  • not act with extreme carelessness in failing to protect the security and secrecy of your Passcode(s), and
  • report any disclosure, loss, theft, misuse or suspected breach in the security of your Passcode(s) in accordance with section 2.1.

The following are examples of what IS a reasonable attempt at disguising a Passcode:

  • hiding or disguising the Passcode:
    • within the place you have recorded it, or amongst other records; or
    • in a place where such a code would not be expected to be found,
  • keeping any record of the Passcode in a securely locked container; or
  • preventing unauthorised access to an electronically stored record of the Passcode.

The following are examples of what is NOT a reasonable attempt at disguising a Passcode– recording it:

  • in reverse order;
  • as a telephone number in a place where no other numbers are recorded;
  • as a telephone number where the Passcode is in its correct sequence;
  • as a sequence of numbers or letters with any of them marked to indicate the Passcode;
  • as a date (including a birth date) or as an amount; or
  • in any other way that can be easily identified.

Where you are able to set your own Passcode (e.g. a PIN or Password), you must not select:

  • a numeric code which represents your date of birth, or
  • an alphabetical code which is a recognisable part of your name.

2.5 Security and Fraud

Please read the Security and Scams Hub for more information.

Unfortunately, scams can originate from many sources. Refer to our website for descriptions of common scam scenarios, red flags to look out for, and what you can do to help protect yourself.

3. How to make and receive payments

Depending on your Account, you may be able to transfer funds from your Account to another bank account through Electronic Banking. Please refer to the relevant Account Terms and Conditions to see if this feature is available for your Account (note: a Pay Anyone Payment cannot be made from a Macquarie Credit Card or Macquarie Car Loan).

 

3.1 Pay Anyone Payments

When providing instructions for any Pay Anyone Payment, it is your responsibility to ensure that the intended payee's account details are correct. We do not carry out checks to determine if the details provided in a Pay Anyone Payment instruction are correct. For example, we do not check that the BSB and account numbers provided correspond with the account name of the payee.

Accordingly, any error made in entering details may result in a payment being made to an unintended recipient and it may not be possible to recover the funds. Refer to the Mistaken Internet Payments procedures in section 5.

Processing your instructions

  1. To make a Pay Anyone Payment, you will need the following information for the account you wish to transfer money to:
    1. the account BSB
    2. the account number; and
    3. the account name,
      or, if the Pay Anyone Payment is to be made as a PayID Payment:
    4. the phone number, email address, ABN, or organisation identifier that is registered with the account.
  2. You must select the Account from which the payment will be made, and may also elect to provide a reference description of the transaction. We reserve the right to override or to not present reference descriptions to payees where we reasonably consider them to be inappropriate.
  3. Once a Pay Anyone Payment instruction has been accepted by us, it cannot be cancelled except if it is a scheduled Pay Anyone Payment.

Scheduled Pay Anyone Payments

  1. You can arrange to make a Pay Anyone Payment on a future date, including on a recurring basis.
  2. A scheduled Pay Anyone Payment may not be processed for a number of reasons, including if, on the day the scheduled Pay Anyone Payment is due:
    1. there are insufficient cleared funds in the Account from which the payment is to be made; or
    2. the payment will cause the daily transaction limit for the Account to be exceeded.
      For scheduled processing times, refer to our website. 

 

3.2 NPP Payments

Depending on your Account, you may be able to make an NPP Payment from your Account to another bank account through Electronic Banking. Please refer to the relevant Account Terms and Conditions to see if this feature is available for your Account.

For information about how to make an NPP Payment, refer to the Help Centre.

 

3.3 BPAY Payments

Depending on your Account, you may be able to make BPAY payments to Billers (which may include us) from your Account through Electronic Banking.

BPAY payments can be made from most Accounts held with us and can be made immediately or on a date up to 12 months in the future. Some Billers will not accept BPAY payments from certain account types and others may have restrictions on the amount that can be paid by BPAY.

(a) Processing Instructions

  1. To make a BPAY payment you will need to provide the following details:
    1. the Account from which the BPAY payment is to be made;
    2. the Biller code; and
    3. the Customer Reference Number (CRN).
  2. We'll debit the Account you select with the bill amount that you specify.
  3. Except for a scheduled payment, a BPAY payment instruction cannot be cancelled.
  4. If we are advised that a BPAY payment cannot be processed by a Biller, we will notify you by crediting your Account with the amount of the BPAY payment and take all reasonable steps to assist you in any further attempt to make the BPAY payment.
  5. When we make a BPAY payment we are not acting as your agent or the agent of the Biller to whom the payment is directed.

 

(b) Scheduled BPAY Payments

  1. You can arrange for a BPAY payment to be made up to 12 months in the future. Some Billers do not allow for recurring payments to be set up; we will notify you at the time of setting up the transaction if this is the case.
  2. A scheduled BPAY payment may not be processed for a number of reasons, including;
    1. the Biller no longer participates in the BPAY Scheme;
    2. there are insufficient cleared funds in your Account on the day the payment is scheduled; or
    3.  the payment would cause your daily BPAY transaction limit to be exceeded.
  3. For scheduled processing times, refer to our website.
  4. A scheduled BPAY payment cannot be made from a Macquarie Credit Card.
     

3.4 General information on transactions

When you make a transfer or a payment on your Account through Electronic Banking, the following general conditions apply:

  1. we will confirm the receipt of instructions to transact (although not the transaction itself);
  2. you should check your Account records carefully and report to us as soon as you become aware of any payments that you think have been made in error or which were not authorised (see section 4 for liability relating to unauthorised payments) – you must make such reports by calling us on 13 31 74;
  3. you should notify us promptly if you become aware of any delays or mistakes in processing transactions;
  4. subject to clause 4.2(a) you authorise us, and we are entitled, to act upon any instruction received through Electronic Banking in conjunction with the correct Access Methods and other terms agreed between you and us;
  5. we are not obliged to effect a payment instruction if:
    1. it is not made in accordance with these Terms and Conditions;
    2. the Account Terms and Conditions for the Account from which the payment is to be made prohibits the payment;
    3. the information given to us, or requested by us, is incomplete and/or inaccurate;
    4. we are restricted or prohibited by law, regulation, industry code, or the requirement of a government or similar authority from permitting the payment to occur;
    5. there is a technical failure of equipment or a system which causes non-acceptance or a delay in the transmission of the instruction;
    6. the financial institution to which the payment is to be made does not accept it or delays accepting it;
    7. your or an Authorised User's right to participate in Electronic Banking is suspended;
    8. there are insufficient cleared funds in the Account from which the payment is to be made to cover the amount of the payment on the day the payment is instructed to be made; or
    9. the request would cause you to exceed any daily limit (on the day the payment is instructed to be made) we impose on your Account or your use of Electronic Banking;
  6.  subject to the payment cut off and processing time commitments set out in section 7 we have absolute discretion to determine the order in which we give effect to payment instructions received

4. Unauthorised transactions and when you are responsible for them

Subject to section 4.1 below, your liability for unauthorised transactions is determined in accordance with the ePayments Code (where it applies). We have reflected the main provisions of the Code within this section 4. Where there is any inconsistency between this section and provisions of the Code then the Code prevails. This section 4 also prevails to the extent of any inconsistency with section 2.

An unauthorised transaction is one which is not authorised by you or an Authorised User, and occurs without your (or the Authorised User’s) knowledge or consent – e.g. you notice a transaction on your statement which you know nothing about. 

Whereas an authorised transaction is one which is authorised by you or an Authorised User, and occurs with your (or the Authorised User’s) knowledge and consent. Unfortunately, some scams fall into this category because the scammer has convinced you as to the legitimacy of the transaction or payment details and you’ve authorised the payment to occur.

In order to minimise the risk of an unauthorised transaction occurring, you must follow the security requirements set out in section 2. If you don’t and this contributes to an unauthorised transaction occurring, then you may be held responsible for those transactions.

If you unreasonably delay informing us about any Passcode, Device, Payment Card or Card Details having potentially been compromised, then you may be held responsible for any unauthorised transactions that result.

 

4.1 Macquarie Business Savings Accounts

The Code does not apply to the Macquarie Business Savings Account. Therefore, to the extent permitted by law and subject to any relevant industry codes of practice, we are not liable to indemnify or otherwise compensate you for any loss or damage you may incur due to:

  • unauthorised transactions carried out on such accounts, or
  • the failure of any system or equipment to complete a transaction, which is shown as being accepted by that system or equipment,

provided that we have acted properly and without fraud or negligence on our part.

Despite this, you are not liable for loss arising from unauthorised transactions that occur in the circumstances listed in items 1 through 5 of clause 4.2(a) below.

 

4.2 All Other accounts

(a) When you are not liable

Subject to clause 4.1, you are not liable for loss arising from an unauthorised transaction that occurs:

  1. after you have informed us that the relevant Payment Card, Card Details, Passcode or Device has been compromised (e.g. lost, stolen, misused);
  2. because a Device or Passcode is forged, faulty, expired or cancelled (this only relates to Devices issued to you by us, and not your personal electronic Devices);
  3. before you received a Passcode, where the Passcode was required to perform the unauthorised transaction;
  4. due to the same transaction being incorrectly debited or credited more than once to the same Account;
  5. due to the fraudulent or negligent conduct of our employees or agents;
  6. due to the fraudulent or negligent conduct of any companies involved in the electronic transaction system or merchants in the system, or their employees or agents;
  7. where access to Electronic Banking had been enabled through the use of your Macquarie ID without entering a Passcode; or
  8. where it is clear that you did not contribute to the loss.

You can help meet these and limit your liability by observing the security requirements in section 2.

 

System or equipment malfunction

You are not liable for loss caused by the failure of any system or equipment to complete a transaction, which is shown as being accepted by that system or equipment. However, to the extent that you should reasonably have been aware that any system or equipment was unavailable or malfunctioning, our liability is limited to correcting errors in your Account and refunding any fees or charges that you have incurred as a result.

(b) When you are liable

You are liable for losses arising from unauthorised transactions that occurred before we are notified of the breach of security in relation to a Passcode where:

  1. you haven’t followed the security requirements in section 2;
  2. you’ve acted with extreme carelessness in failing to protect the security or secrecy of a Passcode;
  3. you’ve unreasonably delayed informing us about a breach of security or secrecy in relation to any Passcode, Device, Payment Card or Card Details (although you will only be liable for the losses that occur after you or an Authorised User become aware, or should reasonably have become aware, of the breach of security); or
  4. you’ve committed fraud.

In any assessment of liability we must prove on the balance of probability that these events caused the loss, taking into account any other contributing causes.

Except where these Terms and Conditions or the Code provides otherwise, you are responsible for all authorised transactions which are carried out with your or an Authorised User's knowledge and/or consent – this includes falling victim to a scam.

However, you are not liable for:

  • that portion of the loss on any one day, or in any period, that exceeds any applicable daily, or periodic, transaction limit of your Account;
  • that portion of the loss which exceeds the balance of your Account or, in the case of a credit product, the Credit Limit of the Account; or
  • losses on any Account which we agree cannot be accessed through the use of any Access Methods.

If we are unable to be contacted by phone because our lines are unavailable, you will not be liable for unauthorised transactions which could have been prevented had we been contactable, provided we are told within a reasonable time after our telephone facilities become available again.

In accordance with section 4.2(a)(1), you won’t be liable for any unauthorised transactions that occur after you’ve told us about the breach of security in relation to a Passcode or Device.

Where your liability is limited

Where a Passcode is required to perform a transaction and we do not establish that you have contributed to the loss in the ways set out in items (1)-(4) above, then your liability for loss arising from an unauthorised transaction that occurs before you tell us about the breach of security in respect of a Passcode, Device, Payment Card or Card Details, is the lesser of:

  • $150;
  • the balance of your Account, or in the case of a credit product the credit limit of the Account; or
  • the actual loss at the time that we are notified of the breach of security (except any portion of the loss that may exceed any applicable transaction limits).

4.3 Account Aggregation Services

Some companies provide account aggregation services that allow you to view account information from different institutions on the one webpage, or download your account statements. These companies usually require you to give them your Passcode(s). We do not endorse, promote, or authorise the use of account aggregation services in connection with your Account(s). If you disclose any Passcode(s) to such persons, subject to section 4.2(a), you may be liable for any transactions on your Account(s) made by that person using that Passcode(s). Refer to section 2 for more information.

 

4.4 Limitation of liability for Payment Card transactions

To the extent permitted by law:

  • we are not responsible for the actions of a merchant or financial institution who refuses to accept your Payment Card or who imposes limits or conditions on the use of your Payment Card; and
  • we are not liable for goods or services supplied as a result of the use of your Payment Card or Card Details.

You must take up any such complaints or concerns directly with the merchant. Subject to any chargeback rights you may have, any refund is a matter between you and the merchant.

5. Mistaken payments

To report a Mistaken Internet or BPAY Payment you can contact us 24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling 13 31 74.

 

5.1 Mistaken Internet Payments (‘Pay Anyone’ and NPP Payments)

We deal with Mistaken Internet Payments in accordance with the ePayments Code and the rules governing NPP Payments, and we have reflected the relevant provisions in this section. BPAY, cash and cheque payments are excluded. For mistaken BPAY payments see section 5.2.

Whilst the Code and this section does not apply to the Macquarie Business Savings Account, we will generally follow the same process. However, meeting these provisions may not always be possible - e.g. it may be out of our control where another bank has different processes for consumer and business payments.

(a) Mistaken Internet Payments (MIPs) made by you

  1. You should report MIPs by calling us as soon as possible, as delays may impact on our ability to recover the funds on your behalf.
  2. We will need to collect information from you that will allow us to investigate and determine whether a MIP has occurred. We will provide a reference number, or some other form of acknowledgement, which should be retained as evidence of the date and time of the report.
  3. If we are not satisfied that a MIP has occurred, we will not take further action and you will be liable for the loss arising from the payment.
  4. If we are satisfied that a MIP has occurred, we will send a request for the return of the funds to the ADI whose customer received the payment (known as the receiving ADI). Sending this request to the receiving ADI requires us to disclose information to that ADI about your Account and the MIP.
  5. If the receiving ADI is also satisfied that a MIP has occurred and there are sufficient funds available in the account of the unintended recipient, the receiving ADI will attempt to recover the funds and return them to us and we will credit them to the Account from which the payment was made. The following process will apply:

If you report: 

Then the receiving ADI: 

Within 10 Business Days of the payment

is required to return the funds to us within 5 to 10 Business Days of receiving our request

Between 10 Business Days and 7 months of the payment

will undertake an investigation and give the recipient 10 Business Days to establish that they are entitled to the funds, and if they don’t, the receiving ADI will return the funds to us within 2 Business Days of the expiry of that period 

This process could take up to a month.

More than 7 months after the payment 

Will ask the recipient if they agree to the return the funds to us.

  1. If the receiving ADI is satisfied that a MIP has occurred but there are insufficient funds in the unintended recipient's account to refund the amount of the payment, then the receiving ADI will use its discretion having regard to a number of factors including those set out in the Code in deciding whether to pursue a full or partial return of the funds.
  2. If the receiving ADI is not satisfied that a MIP has occurred, it may (but it is not obliged to) seek the consent of the recipient to enable the return of funds.
  3. You will be notified in writing, within 30 Business Days of receipt of the report of a MIP from your Account, of the outcome of our investigation. If you are not satisfied with how the report is handled by us, you can make a complaint in accordance with section 13.
  4. If the mistaken recipient does not agree to return the funds, or only partial funds are recovered, then you may need to seek legal advice as to what options are available to you.

 

(b) Mistaken payments received by you

  1. You may receive funds into your Account where you are not the intended recipient due to a sender entering the wrong BSB number, account number or other identifying information when making an internet payment.
  2. If you become aware of any payments into your Account of which you are not the intended recipient, please contact us as soon as practical. Do not transact on the funds as this may be a criminal offence.
  3. Where we receive a request for the return of funds from an ADI whose customer reports a mistaken payment into your Account, and we are satisfied that a mistaken payment has occurred, and there are sufficient funds in your Account, we may:
    1. debit from your Account the amount of the mistaken payment without notifying you or obtaining your consent (if the sender reports the mistake within 10 Business Days of the payment); or
    2. restrict your access to the funds and give you 10 Business Days to establish that you are entitled to the funds before debiting the Account (if the sender reports the mistake after 10 Business Days but within 7 months of the payment).
  4. Otherwise, we will seek your consent to return the funds.
  5. If we are satisfied that a mistaken payment has occurred, but the balance of your Account is less than the amount of the mistaken payment, we will contact you to discuss how best to facilitate repayment to the sender.
  6. Where we are unable to determine that the payment was a result of a MIP, we may still contact you to seek your consent to the return of the funds.
  7. Despite the above provisions, if you are a recipient of income support payments from Centrelink, we will only seek to recover the funds from you in accordance with the Code of Operation for Centrelink Direct Credit Payments.

 

5.2 Mistaken BPAY Payments

(a) What to do if there’s been a mistake or error

You should take care to enter the correct amount and Biller details. If the amount entered is greater than intended, you must contact the Biller to obtain a refund. If less, another BPAY payment can be made to make up the difference.

If you told us to pay the wrong Biller we will seek to recover that amount from the Biller on your behalf. However, if we cannot recover the amount within 20 Business Days then you may need to engage directly with the Biller to try and recover the amount paid. You acknowledge that the receipt by a Biller of a mistaken or erroneous payment does not, or will not constitute under any circumstances, part or whole satisfaction of any underlying debt owed between you and the Biller.

You should check your Account carefully and promptly report to us any BPAY payments you think are errors or that were not authorised by you. The longer the delay between the date of the BPAY payment and when we are informed of the error, the more difficult it may be to correct the error. You may need to liaise directly with the Biller to correct the error if, for example, because of delay, we no longer have sufficient information to investigate it.

If we make a BPAY payment to a person or for an amount not instructed by you or not made with your knowledge or consent, and your Account was debited with the payment, we will credit that amount back to your Account so long as you have complied with the relevant requirements of section 2.

(b) Information you need to provide us

For us to investigate a BPAY payment from your Account that may be unauthorised, you must first give us your written consent, addressed to the Biller who received that BPAY payment, which authorises us to obtain information about your account or the BPAY payment from that Biller. You will need to include any customer reference number issued by the Biller and any other information we require. If you do not give us the consent, the Biller may not be permitted under law to disclose to us the information we need in order to investigate or rectify that BPAY payment.

(c) Disputes or complaints in relation to BPAY payments

Disputes in relation to unauthorised, fraudulent or wrong BPAY payments will be handled in accordance with our complaints policy, details of which are set out in section 13, and in accordance with the relevant rules of the BPAY Scheme.

You must provide us such assistance as may be reasonably necessary to conduct investigations in respect of any mistaken, unauthorised or fraudulent payments. The longer the delay between when you tell us of the error and the date of your payment, the more difficult it may be to perform the error correction. For example, we or your Biller may not have sufficient records or information available to us to investigate the error. If this is the case, you may need to demonstrate that an error has occurred, based on your own records, or liaise directly with the Biller to correct the error.

Except where the rules of the BPAY Scheme say otherwise, your liability for unauthorised and fraudulent BPAY payments will be determined in accordance with section 4 of these Terms and Conditions. No chargeback rights are available in respect of a BPAY payment from your Account, and except for mistaken, unauthorised or fraudulent payments, BPAY payments are irrevocable.

(d) BPAY resolution principles

In accordance with the BPAY Scheme:

  1. If an unauthorised transaction has occurred which is also a mistaken or fraudulent (scam) payment, then we will treat it as an unauthorised transaction.
  2. If a fraudulent (scam) payment you have made is also a mistaken payment, then we will treat it as an authorised transaction.

(e) Limitation of liability and indemnity

Subject to section 4 of these Terms and Conditions we are not liable for any consequential loss or damage you may suffer as a result of using the BPAY Scheme, other than:

  • any loss or damage you suffer due to our negligence, or
  • in relation to any breach of a condition or warranty implied by law under consumer protection legislation which may not be excluded, restricted or modified at all or only to a limited extent.

6. PayTo conditions of use

Refer to our Help Centre for information about the availability of PayTo.

Depending on your Account, you may be able to establish and authorise Payment Agreements with Merchants or Payment Initiators who offer PayTo as a payment option. Please refer to the relevant Account Terms and Conditions to see if this feature is available for your Account.

PayTo is a digital-only feature available through Electronic Banking and you must have an Australian mobile phone number to use the service.

If PayTo is available for your Account, we will process any instructions that we receive from you in connection with a Payment Agreement including authorising, declining, pausing, resuming, amending, and cancelling the agreement in accordance with this section 6.

 

6.1 Authorised Users – Macquarie Business Savings Account

For Macquarie Business Savings Account holders, we may also accept Payment Agreement instructions from an Authorised User that you have appointed to operate your account. You are responsible for any action undertaken by us pursuant to instructions that we receive in relation to a Payment Agreement that are provided by an Authorised User.

For Macquarie Business Savings Account holders, all references to ‘you’ in this section 6 also includes Authorised Users.

6.2 Creating a Payment Arrangement

To establish a Payment Agreement, you will need to provide the Merchant or Payment Initiator with certain data (which may include personal information), such as:

  • the account BSB;
  • the account number; and/or
  • PayID®.

When establishing a Payment Agreement, it is your responsibility to ensure that any data (including any personal information) provided is correct. Any personal information or data provided to the Merchant or Payment Initiator will be subject to the privacy policy and terms and conditions of the relevant Merchant or Payment Initiator.

If you agree to set up a Payment Agreement with a Merchant or Payment Initiator, the Merchant or Payment Initiator will create and submit a record of the Payment Agreement in the Mandate Management Service (MMS) through their financial institution or payments processor. The MMS will notify us of the creation of any Payment Agreement established with your account or PayID details. Once a Payment Agreement has been established, we will notify you and provide details of the Payment Agreement for your authorisation.

6.3 Authorising a Payment Agreement

You may confirm or decline any Payment Agreement presented for your authorisation, and we will record your instructions against the record of the Payment Agreement in the MMS:

  • If confirmed, this will be recorded in the MMS and the Payment Agreement will be effective.
  • If declined, this will be recorded in the MMS and no payments under the Payment Agreement will be made.

If a Payment Agreement requires confirmation within a timeframe stipulated by the Merchant or Payment Initiator, and confirmation is not provided within that timeframe, the Payment Agreement may be withdrawn by the Merchant or Payment Initiator.

If you think that the payment amount, frequency, or any other details presented in a Payment Agreement are incorrect, you should decline the Payment Agreement and contact the Merchant or Payment Initiator to have them resubmit the Payment Agreement with the correct details.

Once a Payment Agreement has been authorised by you, we will promptly process the payment instructions in connection with the Payment Agreement. When authorising a Payment Agreement, it is your responsibility to ensure that the details of the Payment Agreement are correct.

 

6.4 Amending a Payment Agreement

Your Payment Agreement may be amended by the Merchant or Payment Initiator from time to time.

If a Merchant or Payment Initiator has requested an amendment to the payment terms of the Payment Agreement, we will notify you and provide details of the amendments for your authorisation. Such amendments may include variation of the payment amount, where that is specified in the Payment Agreement as a fixed amount, or payment frequency.

You may confirm or decline any amendment request presented for your authorisation, and we will record your instructions against the record of the Payment Agreement in the MMS:

  • If confirmed, this will be recorded in the MMS and the amendment will then be deemed to be effective;
  • If declined, this will be recorded in the MMS and the amendment will not be made. A declined amendment request will not otherwise affect the Payment Agreement and the Payment Agreement will continue on its existing terms.

Amendment requests which are not confirmed or declined within 5 calendar days of being sent for authorisation will expire and the amendment request will be deemed to be declined.

We are not authorised to vary the details in an amendment request submitted by the Merchant or Payment Initiator. If you think that the amendment request does not reflect the updated terms of the agreement that you have with the Merchant or Payment Initiator, you should contact them and have them resubmit the amendment request with the correct details.

Once a Payment Agreement has been established, you may instruct us to amend your Payment Agreement in Electronic Banking. You can only amend your account details in your Payment Agreement. Account details may only be replaced with another eligible account you hold with us. We may decline to act on your instruction to amend your Payment Agreement if we are not reasonably satisfied that your request is legitimate. You cannot request us to amend the details of the Merchant or Payment Initiator, or another party.

 

6.5 Pausing or resuming your Payment Agreement

You may pause and resume your Payment Agreement in Electronic Banking. We will act on your instruction to pause or resume your Payment Agreement promptly by updating the record of the Payment Agreement in the MMS. The MMS will notify the Merchant’s or Payment Initiator’s financial institution or payment processor of the pause or resumption. During the period the Payment Agreement is paused, we will not process payment instructions in connection with it.

If the Merchant or Payment Initiator pauses a Payment Agreement to which you are a party, we will promptly let you know about this, and of any subsequent resumption, within Electronic Banking.

 

6.6 Cancelling your Payment Agreement

You can cancel a Payment Agreement at any time in Electronic Banking. We will act on your instruction promptly by updating the record of the Payment Agreement in the MMS. The MMS will notify the Merchant’s or Payment Initiator’s financial institution or payment processor of the cancellation.

If the Merchant or Payment Initiator cancels a Payment Agreement to which you are a party, we will promptly let you know about this within Electronic Banking.

 

6.7 Transferring your Payment Agreement

It is currently not possible to transfer a Payment Agreement that is set up from an account at one financial institution to an account at another financial institution. You will need to contact the Merchant or Payment Initiator through whom the Payment Agreement was set up to assist.

 

6.8 Migration of Direct Debit arrangements

If you have an existing Direct Debit arrangement with a Merchant or a Payment Initiator, the Merchant or Payment Initiator may choose to establish a Payment Agreement to process future payments under the PayTo service rather than the Direct Debit system.

If the Merchant or Payment Initiator does this, you may be notified by them that your future Direct Debit payments will be migrated and processed from your account under PayTo (Migrated DDR Mandate). You are entitled to prior written notice of changes to your Direct Debit arrangements and changed processing arrangements, as specified in your Direct Debit Service Agreement, from the Merchant or Payment Initiator. If you do not consent to the variation of the Direct Debit arrangement you must advise the Merchant or Payment Initiator. We will not seek your approval of a Payment Agreement that relates to a Migrated DDR Mandate. We will process instructions received from a Merchant or Payment Initiator on the basis of a Migrated DDR Mandate.

Once the Payment Agreement has been established, you may be able to amend, pause and resume, or cancel your Payment Agreement as set out in the provisions above. Note you must have an Australian mobile number registered with Macquarie to view Payment Agreements in Electronic Banking and/or provide instructions in relation to Payment Agreements.
