Types of credit cards that Macquarie Bank offers

You can compare Macquarie Bank credit cards to find a product that best suits your needs below:

  • Low rate credit cards

A low rate credit card can be good to have if you don’t regularly pay your balances in full each month. The Macquarie Visa RateSaver Card comes with a balance transfer offer for months as well as up to 55 interest-free days on purchases. Please note that this card also comes with an annual fee.

  • Rewards credit cards

Macquarie Bank currently offers cards linked to the bank's own rewards program. If you like the idea of earning reward points as you spend, you can compare your rewards credit card options below.

  • Platinum credit cards

Applying for a Macquarie Bank credit card

You can apply for a Macquarie Bank Credit Card by visiting any of the bank’s branches, over the phone or online. Before you apply, make sure you've met the eligibility requirements and organised the following information:

Eligibility criteria

  • You’re older than 18 years of age
  • You’re a permanent Australian resident
  • You have good credit history
  • You meet the minimum income requirements (which vary from card to card)

Required documents

  • Applicant details. These include your complete name, date of birth, marital status, number of dependent children and driver’s license number.
  • Identification details. This section requires your mother’s maiden name as well as the name and phone number of a friend or relative who does not share the same address with you.
  • Contact details. Enter your residential address, time spent at this address, phone numbers and email address.
  • Professional details. This section requires your employment status, occupation, name of your employer, time at current job, your employer’s contact details, your gross annual income and income from other sources.
  • Expenses. You have to provide details about rent, mortgage repayments, living expenses, your total available credit limit on existing credit cards and the minimum repayments towards other loans.

What happens next?

You might receive a call from a Macquarie Bank representative if the bank needs any extra information. If you let your employer’s payroll department know of an impending income verification call in advance, the process can move a little quicker. New Macquarie Bank customers have to go through an identity verification process, as stipulated by the Australian government. You might have to visit a branch to complete this formality.

      Hi Christine,

      Thanks again for your comment.

      As I mentioned in my previous comment, any Westpac, St.George or BankSA branded ATM are Macquarie Bank home network. Other than these brands, you may be charged ATM withdrawal fees.

      As for using the rediATM, their partners’ cardholders can use any of the 3,000 rediATMs across Australia without receiving a direct charge fee. I’ve sent a link to your email for the list of the rediATM partners.

      I hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      May

      Hi Christine,

      Thanks for your inquiry.

      To avoid unnecessary ATM transaction fees, you should use ATMs that are part of the Macquarie Bank home network including any Westpac, St.George or BankSA branded ATMs where transactions are free and unlimited.

      On the other hand, if you need to use an ATM that is not part of the home network, Macquarie Bank does not charge for this. But you may be charged directly by the ATM owner at the time of the transaction.

      Hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      May
