Macquarie Bank was founded in 1969

It has since become a global investment banking and financial services group. Out of its headquarters in Sydney Macquarie operates Australia’s largest investment bank, and in the 2011/2012 financial year it reported a net profit of $730 million.

About Macquarie Bank

Apart from this there is a solid retail banking side to Macquarie, and cardholders and customers can take advantage of investor insights from one of the leading investment banks in Australia.

History

Macquarie Bank began in 1969 in Sydney and it was originally part of UK bank Hill Samuel. In 1981 Hill Samuel Australia started the process of becoming a trading bank. It was approved in 1985, when the name was also changed to Macquarie Bank Limited.

The name Macquarie Bank comes from a former governor of New South Wales, Lachlan Macquarie. Governor Macquarie is credited with turning the Australian settlement into a dynamic and thriving economy.

Macquarie Bank Credit Cards

Two Macquarie Bank credit cards are featured on creditcard.com.au. For those looking for a better rate on purchases, the Low Rate Mastercard is competitive, and the annual fee is reasonable. On top of that you can still transfer your balance from another card and get 9 months interest free.

For those after more of the perks, try the Macquarie Bank Rewards Platinum card and enjoy the concierge service, rewards points and access to free financial updates and insights from one of Australia’s top investment banks.

Hello there, new to Macquarie bank, we have a home loan with you and just opened a transaction account where my pay goes into. Do you offer any credit cards with a low interest rate and minimal annual fee for home loan customers . I had a credit card with Bendigo bank as I used to work for them however it’s just been paid out and closed off. Because after leaving, the annual rate was too high. Thank you in advance. Skye

    Hi Meg, I think that is called identity theft. If this has happened then much more could be going on. You need to report to the police and ask them the next steps.

How to transfer money from UK HSBC debit account to Macquarie credit card
    Roland B Bleyer - CreditCard.com.au Founder

    5 April 2018
    Hi Thien, I think it could be difficult to do directly. What you need to do is transfer the funds from your UK account to an Australian account. Then make the payment to Macquarie through BPAY or one of the other options.
