Home loan savings
Using your credit card and offset account
Using your credit card and offset account
- One way to make the most of your offset home loan is to use your accompanying credit card for your day-to-day purchases.
- When you keep savings in your offset account and pay off your credit card balance in full before your interest free period ends, you could minimise both the amount of interest you pay on your home loan and the interest you pay on purchases.

To find out the current Transaction limits, please contact us.
10 10.6 A Card must not be used: • by any person other than the Cardholder to whom it was issued • after the expiry date on the physical Card • when the Card is suspended or cancelled • after you have requested that we close your Account or we have notified you that we will be closing • your Account in accordance with Part I of these Conditions of Use • to conduct Transactions for business purposes • to conduct unlawful Transactions, or Transactions related to unlawful (or potentially unlawful) activities (as determined at our reasonable discretion), or • to conduct Transactions with parties related to you, including Purchases or Cash Advances at merchants, ATMs or other facilities owned, controlled or operated by you, your family members or friends or for any other cash flow or other non-genuine purpose. See conditions 27-28 for more information about looking after Cards and PINs, and for when you will be liable for their misuse. 11. Additional cards 11.1 You may nominate one or more people who are 16 years or older to be Additional Cardholders. Additional Cardholders are your agents to operate on the Account. If approved, we will issue Additional Cardholders with a Card linked to the Account and provide access to Electronic Banking. You should ensure that any Additional Cardholder has read and complies with these Conditions of Use. If your Additional Cardholder does not comply with them, you will be held to be in breach of these Conditions of Use and will be responsible for the consequences of that breach. 11.2 You consent to us giving an Additional Cardholder information about the Account. We may at our discretion seek your confirmation before processing certain Additional Cardholder requests and / or Transactions.
11 11.3 All Transactions made using an Additional Card are charged to your Account. You are liable to pay for (or to repay) any credit provided to, or losses incurred by, any Additional Cardholder in relation to your card. You are responsible for paying for all these Transactions (and any resulting fees, charges and / or interest) as if you had used the Card yourself. 11.4 You must notify us if you want to cancel an Additional Card or stop an Additional Card from being used. Until you notify us, you remain liable for unauthorised Transactions (subject to condition 28). 12. Using the Card 12.1 Using the Card to obtain goods and services at a merchant Cardholders can use the Card to obtain goods and services at participating merchants (such as shops, restaurants and theatres). We are not responsible if a merchant refuses to accept the Card, or places other limitations on using the Card. We have no control over the hours a merchant may be open for business. The hours during which a Terminal will be available may therefore vary in accordance with the merchant’s opening hours. Cardholders must check that the correct amount is entered in a Terminal or written in the “total” box on a voucher before they authorise the Transaction or sign the voucher. Through mail order, the internet and telephone Cardholders can use a Card to obtain goods and services by mail order, over the internet and by telephone where the merchant accepts that form of payment. Some Transactions need authorisation from us. Acting reasonably, we may choose not to authorise a proposed Transaction including in circumstances where: • we consider it is reasonably necessary to protect you or us against losses, • we suspect fraudulent Transactions, or, • you are in breach of these Conditions of Use, and we reasonably consider the breach involves a material risk to us or is materially adverse to us.
12 Using Visa payWave You can use Visa payWave to authorise Purchases within Visa payWave Transaction limits at participating merchants. You can also use your Visa payWave Card as a Chip or magnetic stripe Card. Before authorising payment for Visa payWave Transactions, you must check that the correct amount of your Purchase is displayed on the Terminal or on the shop register. Although no PIN or Password is required for a Visa payWave Transaction, a Visa payWave secure reader will be treated as a Terminal and you have the benefit of condition 28 in respect of Visa payWave Transactions. Subject to condition 28, Transactions authorised by Visa payWave are treated as authorised and debited to your Account. Goods and services We are not responsible for the provision or quality of goods or services purchased using a Card, unless the law makes us liable. Therefore, if you have any complaints about goods or services, you must take them up with the merchant or ask us about your chargeback rights as outlined in condition 36. 12.2 Cash Advances Subject to our reasonable discretion, condition 8, the Financial Table and the remainder of this condition 12.2, Cardholders may use their Cards to obtain Cash Advances. A Cash Advance Fee, as set out in the Financial Table, may be payable. In certain circumstances, we may block or limit a Cardholder’s ability to obtain Cash Advances – see Part I for further information. ATMs Cardholders can use their Card in combination with their PIN to obtain cash up to the cash limit (subject to the Credit Limit) from an ATM that accepts the Card. Your cash limit is shown in your Financial Table and may be varied by us from time to time, in accordance with condition 26. An ATM provider may charge you a fee at the ATM for using this service. At ATMs in Australia, the amount of the fee will be disclosed to you at the time of the Transaction. We do not warrant that ATMs will always have money available. There are limits on the amount of cash you can obtain from an ATM in Australia on any one day. Some ATMs have a lower transaction limit than your cash limit. This means that you may have to make two or more withdrawals to reach your cash limit (and two or more Cash Advance Fees may be payable).
13 The limits for any Cash Advance by using your Card in an ATM overseas on any one day may vary from place to place and the other financial institutions may charge you a fee. The types of transactions available at ATMs provided by another institution depend on that institution. Using Visa payWave You cannot use Visa payWave to authorise Cash Advances. Over the counter Cash Advances at other financial institutions You may also be able to obtain a Cash Advance on the Account by presenting your Card at a branch counter of other financial institutions that accept your Card. Some other financial institutions may charge you a fee for doing so (in addition to any Cash Advance Fee that may apply). The minimum and maximum amount for a Cash Advance from any other financial institution or from an institution outside Australia is determined by that institution and may vary from one to another. Other financial institutions may require other identification which identifies the holder of the Card (such as a photographic driver’s licence or a passport) as well as your Card before giving you a Cash Advance. 12.3 Recurring payment A direct entry debit occurs when you give your Card Details to a merchant and they debit your Account using those details. This may happen on a recurring basis (in which case, it is referred to as a recurring payment). Any credit obtained by a direct entry debit is treated as a Purchase. If you wish to cancel or make alternate payment arrangements for a recurring payment, it is advisable for you to contact the merchant or third party directly. You should be aware that providing authorisation to a merchant to transact on your Account for an unspecified amount can result in your Account being charged non- standard, unexpected and possibly large amounts by that merchant. You should therefore exercise caution when providing authorisation to any merchant to debit your Account. If a Card is cancelled, access to your Account is cancelled or your Account number changes (for instance, if your Account is closed or a Card is lost, stolen or used without a Cardholder’s authority), you must cancel any recurring direct entry debit authorities authorised to be made to your Account by contacting the merchant or notifying the merchant of any new Card Details.
14 If you fail to provide alternative payment details to the merchant, we may stop processing the Transactions, which may cause the merchant to stop providing the goods or services. If you don’t cancel any recurring payments that you no longer wish to make, we may continue to treat the payments as authorised and you will be liable to repay those amounts in accordance with condition 18. 12.4 Special Promotions We may provide a Special Promotion on your Account from time to time on such terms and conditions as we determine, including the Transactions eligible for the Special Promotion, the Annual Percentage Rate and any applicable fees or charges. Each Special Promotion will be subject to those terms and conditions as well as these Conditions of Use and your Financial Table (where relevant). Use of a Card or your Account to conduct a Transaction in accordance with a Special Promotion will constitute your acceptance of the terms and conditions of that Special Promotion. The Special Promotion will be shown on your next Statement, and this Statement will be taken to be notice to you of the change in the terms of your Account as it relates to the Special Promotion. 12.5 Using the Card – Additional Cardholders Each Additional Cardholder may use their Card on the same terms as those which apply to you under this condition 12 (see condition 11 which explains your liability for those Transactions). 13. Using a Terminal When a Cardholder uses a Card and PIN at a Terminal, you authorise us to act on the instructions entered into the Terminal. A Card may be retained in a Terminal if a Cardholder incorrectly enters their PIN three consecutive times. You are responsible for the funds that you or your Additional Cardholder withdraw from an ATM. Part E – Statements, charges and payments 14. Statements We will send you a monthly Statement for the Account, except in circumstances where the law and / or a code of conduct to which we subscribe does not require us to send a Statement.
15 All amounts requiring payment are shown on the Statement in Australian dollars. You should check the entries on your Statement carefully and promptly report any error or unauthorised Transaction to us as soon as you become aware of it. We cannot send Statements to an overseas postal address. If you are overseas temporarily, you may wish to request notifications that your Statements are available electronically for this period. If you do so, you will not receive paper Statements for this period (see condition 42 for more information). If you have moved permanently overseas or are overseas for a period of more than 2 years, we may close your Account (see condition 32 for more information). 15. Payments You are responsible for paying the closing Balance Owing On The Account shown on a Statement but you need not pay the entire Closing Balance each month. However, you must pay the Minimum Payment Due for each Statement by the Payment Due Date shown on the Statement. Any overdue or overlimit amounts are payable immediately. We need not ask you for those amounts first. You may pay more or all of the Closing Balance outstanding if you wish. If you do not make a Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date or pay any overdue or overlimit amounts, you may incur a Late Payment Fee. What happens if you don’t pay The consequences of not paying all amounts that you owe us under these Conditions of Use are set out in condition 29. 16. Transactions We may assign any date we reasonably consider appropriate to a debit or credit to the Account (except that, in the case of a debit, the date must not be earlier than the date on which the relevant Transaction occurs). However, we credit payments to the Account as soon as practicable after we receive them. This is not necessarily the same day that you pay. Although the Live Balance figure (visible on Electronic Banking as ‘Balance’) includes certain pending payments to your Account, this does not mean these payments are reflected in the Balance Owing on the Account or the Closing Balance. Payments will be reflected in the Balance Owing on the Account and the Closing Balance once they are recorded as a credit to your Account.
16 The timing of when a payment appears in your Live Balance may vary depending on the payment method and timing of the payment. For example: • a payment from a Macquarie Transaction Account will appear instantly in your Live Balance • a payment received using BPAY will appear in your Live Balance depending on when we receive the payment from BPAY , which may take up to two Business Days • payments received using Australia Post may take up to 3 Business Days to appear in your Live Balance. We may subsequently adjust debits and credits to the Account and the Balance Owing On The Account so as to accurately reflect the legal obligations of you and us (for example, because of an error or because a cheque is dishonoured). If we do this, we may make consequential changes (including to the interest charges and fees). 17. How International Transactions are treated International Transactions made in a foreign currency are converted from the currency of the Transaction to the Australian dollar equivalent as at the date they are processed. All International Transactions are listed on your Statement in Australian dollars and, where applicable, the foreign currency of the Transaction. You may be charged an International Transaction Fee for International Transactions, the details of which are outlined in the Financial Table or have otherwise been notified to you in accordance with condition 21. Other parties to an International Transaction (for example a foreign merchant or a foreign ATM provider) may also charge you a fee. 18. Your obligation to repay all amounts Subject to condition 15, you must pay us for all amounts debited to the Account. These include: a. all Transactions b. interest charges, and c. any of our other fees and charges as shown in the Financial Table or in condition 21. Your liability for unauthorised use of a Card is set out in condition 28. If you exceed your Credit Limit, you are immediately liable to repay the overlimit amount.
17 19. Annual Percentage Rate The Annual Percentage Rate which applies to your Account is shown in the Financial Table or as advised from time to time. A different rate may apply to different types of Transactions, for example a higher Annual Percentage Rate may apply to Cash Advances. We may change any Annual Percentage Rate at any time (except in relation to a Promotional Rate that is fixed for a specified period). We will act reasonably in changing any Annual Percentage Rate. The new Annual Percentage Rate applies from the date we specify in the notice or statement we provide under condition 26. For details of current interest rates, you can refer to your Statement, check our website or contact us. 20. Interest charges 20.1 Subject to condition 20.2, an interest charge is payable by you on each amount of credit provided under your Account. The interest charge will be debited to your Account at the end of each Statement Period and is the sum of the monthly interest charges for each different balance type. The monthly interest charge for a balance type is the sum of the daily unpaid balances on your Account for that balance type multiplied by the applicable Daily Percentage Rate, for each day in the Statement Period. The daily unpaid balance for a balance type is the sum of the unpaid Transactions for that balance type (from and including the dates assigned to the Transactions) plus applicable fees and charges and interest. Interest charges become part of the relevant daily unpaid balance for a balance type on the day they are debited to your Account, but after interest charges are calculated for that day. The interest charges will be calculated up to and including the day on which they are debited. 20.2 Interest Free Period If an Interest Free Period is available for your Account, the details will appear in your Financial Table. There is no Interest Free Period with respect to Cash Advances. Certain Special Promotions may also affect the operation of an Interest Free Period. If this is the case, the terms and conditions for the Special Promotion may provide further information.
18 No interest will be charged on a Purchase if the Payment to Receive Interest Free Period for the last Statement before the purchase was made was paid in full by the Payment Due Date shown on that Statement (or the Closing Balance on that Statement was nil or the Account had a credit balance). If the Payment to Receive Interest Free Period for the previous Statement was not paid in full by its Payment Due Date, interest will be charged on unpaid Purchases (excluding Interest Free Finance amounts) and fees as well as new Purchases (excluding Interest Free Finance amounts) and fees from the day following the Payment Due Date on that Statement and will be shown on your next Statement. To be eligible for an Interest Free Period again, you must pay the Payment to Receive Interest Free Period for your next Statement by the Payment Due Date on that Statement (unless the Closing Balance on that Statement was nil or your Account had a credit balance). The Interest Free Period will then apply to Purchases (excluding Interest Free Finance amounts) made on and from the day that you made that payment. 20.3 Credit balances We do not pay interest on any credit balance in the Account. 20.4 Understanding interest We recommend you read the “Understanding Interest” guide, available on our website, for more information on how interest and Interest Free Periods work. 21. Fees and other charges 21.1 We may charge the fees and charges shown in the Financial Table and any changed or new fees or charges notified to you in accordance with condition 26. We will act reasonably in changing existing fees or charges or introducing new fees or charges. 21.2 You must also pay an amount equal to any government charges and duties on receipts or withdrawals under this agreement or duties charged relating to the use of a Card or to Transactions on your Account or both, in each case calculated in accordance with the relevant legislation. These are payable when they are charged to your Account. 21.3 Details of our current fees and charges are available on our website or by contacting us.
19 22. Refunds A refund will not be treated as a payment to the Account. 23. How to pay You can make payments: a. by using Electronic Banking to make a BPAY payment from your other Macquarie accounts (where available) or from your account with another institution by using that institution’s internet banking facilities b. by authorising a direct debit from other banks, and c. by other methods we make available as set out on your Statement and our website. It is not possible to make repayments in foreign currency or in person overseas. However, if you are overseas when a payment is due, you must still ensure that any Minimum Payment Due is made using the applicable payment options available to you. If you are late making a payment you may incur a Late Payment Fee. 24. What happens to payments we receive? Payments are applied to amounts shown on your last Statement, first to the part of balances to which the highest Annual Percentage Rate applies, then to the part of balances to which the next highest Annual Percentage Rate applies and will continue to be applied to balances in descending order of applicable Annual Percentage Rate. We calculate interest separately on each balance type. Balance types may include, without limitation: • Purchases • Cash Advances • Special Promotions (if applicable) • balance transfers (if applicable); and • Interest Free Finance amounts. Within each balance type, payments will be applied in the following order: interest, fees, principal balance and insurance premiums (if applicable). Where your payments have already been allocated to all amounts shown on your last Statement or if your last Statement did not have a balance, any payments are applied to balances that have not appeared on your Statement in descending order of applicable Annual Percentage Rate. Where a payment has been credited and is subsequently reversed, we will debit the payment to your Account. We may reverse the application of the original payment and will treat the payment reversal as a Purchase.
20 25. Credit balances If your Account has a credit balance of greater than $10,000, we may refund you that amount by making an electronic transfer to your nominated account or by other means for the amount of the credit balance (excluding uncleared funds). Part F – Changes to these conditions 26. Changes 26.1 What we can change Acting reasonably, we can change any term of these conditions (such as introduce new terms, or change or delete any existing term): a. that deals with the pricing of your Account, such as your interest rate, fees and charges, and repayments b. that deals with the day you make repayments or we debit interest to your Account c. that deals with how interest is calculated on your account d. that deals with how you are able to transact on your account and any limits placed on particular transaction types e. to accommodate a change in law or market practice f. to accommodate a change in technology or other ways of communication g. to accommodate a change in payment methods h. to accommodate a change in how we make disclosures to customers or present our Conditions of Use or Financial Table i. to deal with any unforeseen event that may arise, or j. to make any other change.
21 26.2 Notification of Changes Unless condition 26.3 or 26.4 applies, we will notify you of changes to these Conditions of Use in accordance with the following table: Type of change Time frame Method of notice Change in the Annual Percentage Rate On or before the day the change takes effect • In writing • Electronically (subject to condition 42), or • By advertising the change in a newspaper circulating through your State or Territory • If we notify you of a change by advertisement, we will also give you particulars of the change with your next Statement after the change takes effect Introduction of a new fee or charge, increasing the amount of any existing credit fee or charge or changing the frequency or time for payment of a credit fee or charge Not less than 30 days notice before the change takes effect Decreasing or removing a fee By the first time you receive a Statement after the change Government charges As soon as practicable, unless the change has been publicised by the Government, government agency or representative body A change in the method of calculating or applying interest Not less than 30 days notice before the change takes effect if the change increases your obligations. Otherwise in accordance with condition 26.4. Impose, remove or adjust a daily or other periodical Transaction limit or a change that increases your liability for losses relating to electronic Transactions Not less than 30 days notice before the change takes effect Change to any other condition Not less than 30 days before the change takes effect if the change is unfavourable to you Otherwise, in accordance with condition 26.4
22 26.3 Changes which are unfavourable to you We may give you less than 30 days notice of an unfavourable change to these Conditions of Use if: a. it is reasonable for us to do so to manage a material and immediate risk; or b. there is a change to, or introduction of, a government charge that you pay directly or indirectly in connection with your Card or Account, but we will comply with any minimum notice period prescribed by the National Credit Code. If we give you less than 30 days notice of an unfavourable change to these Conditions of Use because there is a change to, or introduction of, a government charge that you pay in connection with your Card or Account, we will notify you of this change reasonably promptly after the government notifies us of the change (unless the government publicises this change). 26.4 Changes which are not unfavourable to you If we make a change to your Card which is not unfavourable to you (e.g. the change reduces your obligations, or extends the time for payment), we will notify you of the change before the change takes effect or when we provide your next statement of account (which may be after the change takes effect). We do not have to provide you with advance notice of a change if the change is required to immediately restore or maintain the security of a system, your Card or Account, including the prevention of systemic or individual criminal activity, including fraud. 26.5 If you are not satisfied with a change in these Conditions of Use If you are not satisfied with any change or variation to these Conditions of Use you may terminate your Account with us. We will not charge you a termination or account closing fee, however termination of your Account will be subject to all outstanding obligations under these Conditions of Use being duly discharged.
23 Part G – Security requirements 27. Security requirements 27.1 The security of each Cardholder’s Card, Card Details, Device and Passcode(s) is very important, as whoever has access to them may be able to perform Transactions on the Account. These requirements are designed to help Cardholders keep their Card, Card Details, Devices and Passcode(s) secure. By following these requirements, Cardholders can assist in preventing unauthorised Transactions on the Account. Your liability for unauthorised transactions is determined under condition 28. 27.2 You must inform us as soon as you become aware (and you must ensure that an Additional Cardholder informs us as soon as they become aware) if the Card, Card Details, Devices (or other electronic equipment) or Passcode(s) have been misused, lost or stolen or had their security breached. You can contact us 24 hours a day, seven days a week using the details on your Card and the last page of these Conditions of Use. We must be given all the information that you or the Additional Cardholder have or can reasonably obtain regarding the loss, misuse, theft or other compromising circumstance. 27.3 a. Card and Card Details security To protect their Card and Card Details, each Cardholder must: • sign their physical Card as soon as they receive it • not give their Card Details to any other person unless they want to make a payment to them • not permit any other person to use their Card, or to add it to another person’s Device • take all reasonable steps to protect their Card from loss or theft • minimise the risk of losing their Card or Device or allowing their Card or Device to be used by someone else, for instance by keeping the Card or Device in sight when making a transaction • ensure that they immediately retrieve a Card or Device (and receipt, if any) after making a payment, including from an ATM • report any loss, theft or misuse of their Card or Card Details in accordance with condition 27.2
24 • use care not to display their Card or Card Details to anyone – such as by posting an image of the front or back of their 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 their Card Details when using them to make a payment. b. Passcode security To protect their Passcodes, each Cardholder 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 their Passcode (whether disguised or not) on their Card, phone or other Device, or on other articles which could be lost or stolen simultaneously with the Card, phone or other Device (e.g. a phone case) unless the Cardholder has 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 their 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 their Passcode(s), and • report any disclosure, loss, theft, misuse or suspected breach in the security of their Passcode(s) in accordance with section 27.2. 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,
25 • 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. 27.4 Where we allow a Cardholder to select a Passcode (e.g. a PIN or password), the Cardholder must not select: a. a numeric code which represents their date of birth, or b. an alphabetical code which is a recognisable part of their name. 27.5 Device security You and your Additional Cardholder(s) must take all reasonable steps to protect the security of your respective Devices. 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 Online Banking and Mobile Banking at the end of each session. You acknowledge that, for security purposes, we reserve the right at any time to log you and any Additional Cardholder(s) out of Online Banking and Mobile Banking, for example if you or the Additional Cardholder are inactive for a period of time after having logged on.
26 Where you or an Additional Cardholder 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. If You or an Additional Cardholder wish to use Biometric Data to access Electronic Banking or your respective Device(s), or to make payments using a digital wallet, you and any Additional Cardholder 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 or an Additional Cardholder’s Device, that person may be able to view your Account and perform transactions. Subject to clause 28.2, we will treat as authorised, and you will be responsible for, any transactions performed using the Biometric Information 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. 28. Liability for unauthorised Transactions 28.1 Your liability for unauthorised transactions is determined in accordance with the ePayments Code (where it applies). We have reflected the main provisions within this section. Where there is any inconsistency between this section and provisions of the Code then the Code prevails. An unauthorised transaction is one which is not authorised by you or an Additional Cardholder, and occurs without your (or the Additional Cardholder’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 condition 27. If you don’t and this contributes to an unauthorised transaction occurring, then you may be held responsible for those transactions.
27 If you unreasonably delay informing us about any Passcode, Device, Card or Card Details having potentially been compromised, then you may be held responsible for any unauthorised transactions that result. 28.2 When you are not liable You are not liable for loss arising from an unauthorised Transaction that occurs: a. after we have been informed that the relevant Card, Card Details, Passcode or Device has been compromised (e.g. lost, stolen, misused) b. because the Card, Card Details or Access Method is forged, faulty, expired or cancelled c. for a transaction requiring the use of a Card, Card Details and/or Passcode, if that transaction occurred before the user received the Card, Card Details and/or Passcode (including a reissued Card, Card Details and/or Passcode) d. due to the same transaction being incorrectly debited or credited more than once to the same Account e. due to the fraudulent or negligent conduct of our employees or agents f. 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 g. where access to Electronic Banking had been enabled through the use of your Macquarie ID without entering a Passcode, or h. where it is clear that you or the Additional Cardholder did not contribute to the loss. You and your Additional Cardholder(s) can help meet these and limit your liability by observing the security requirements in condition 27. 28.3 When you are liable Subject to conditions 28.4 and 28.5, 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: a. you or an Additional Cardholder haven’t followed the security requirements in condition 27 b. you or an Additional Cardholder acted with extreme carelessness in failing to protect the security or secrecy of a Passcode
28 c. you or an Additional Cardholder has unreasonably delayed informing us about a breach of security or secrecy in relation to any Passcode (although you will only be liable for the losses that occur after you or an Additional Cardholder become aware, or should reasonably have become aware, of the breach of security) d. you or an Additional Cardholder left the Card in an ATM, and the ATM incorporates reasonably safety standards that mitigate the risk of the Card being left in the ATM, or e. you or an Additional Cardholder 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. You are responsible for all authorised transactions which are carried out with your or an Additional Cardholders’ knowledge and/or consent – this includes falling victim to a scam. 28.4 When your liability is limited a. Where condition 28.3 applies, you are not liable for any of the following amounts: i. that portion of the loss on any one day, or in any period, that exceeds any applicable daily or periodic Transaction limit(s) of the Account ii. that portion of the loss which exceeds the Credit Limit of the Account iii. losses incurred on any Accounts which we agree could not be accessed through the use of any Access Methods, or iv. losses (or the portion of losses) which we are able to recover by succesfully exercising any relevant rights we have against a merchant. b. 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 condition 28.3, 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 is the lesser of: i. $150, or ii. the Credit Limit, or iii. 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).
29 c. 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. d. In accordance with section 28.2(a), 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, Card, Card Details or Device. 28.5 a. 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. We will not be responsible if a Terminal, ATM or any other electronic equipment does not accept your instructions or your Card. In the event of a Terminal malfunction or breakdown, you may still be able to perform a Transaction through manual means. In such a case, your liability for loss will be determined in accordance with condition 28. 28.6 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 sometimes 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, you may be liable for any transactions on your Account(s) made by that person using that Passcode(s). Refer to conditions 27 and 28 for more information. 28.7 If you have any query or complaint concerning Transactions on your Account: a. you must notify us of any such query or complaint by calling us on the telephone number or writing to us at the address listed on the back of the Conditions of Use
30 b. you must give us all information we reasonably request to help us resolve your query or complaint, and c. if we are unable to resolve your query or complaint immediately, we will write to you to let you know our procedures for investigating it. If we are a linked credit provider of a supplier under trade practices or consumer credit legislation, you may have rights with us in relation to goods or services which are the subject of a Purchase. Subject to those rights, and any other applicable laws, we are not responsible or liable: i. if a supplier or other person refuses to accept or honour any Card, no matter what the reason, or ii. for any defect or deficiency whatsoever in respect of any goods or services (for example, with respect to the quality of any goods or services) or their fitness for any purpose. Part H – Breach of these Conditions of Use 29. What happens if you breach these conditions? Default If you don’t make the payments you are required to make under these Conditions of Use, you will be in default. If you are in default because you have not made the payments you are required to make under these Conditions of Use, we may send you a notice which requires you to fix the default by paying us any overdue amounts plus any applicable interest and fees by a certain date (which will appear in the notice). There are some circumstances in which the law doesn’t require us to send you a notice when you are in default – for example, where we have attempted to contact you but have been unable to do so. If you don’t fix the default by paying the amount set out in the notice by the date set out in the notice, we may do some or all of the following: • decide that, without further notice to you, you must immediately pay us the whole Balance Owing On The Account (plus interest, fees and enforcement expenses, as relevant), not just the required payments you failed to make (this is called “acceleration” of your debt) • take steps to list the default on your credit file • exercise our right to assign the debt(s) due by you to a third party
31 • commence or continue debt recovery proceedings against you in court, and / or • close your Account. You will also be in default if: • you become bankrupt • enforcement proceedings are taken against you by another creditor • we believe, on reasonable grounds, that you have not complied with the law or any requirement of a statutory authority • you use the Account for a purpose not approved by us, or • we reasonably believe that you have given us information or made statements that are materially incorrect or materially misleading, and the event is material in nature or we reasonably believe it is likely to have a material impact on your ability to make the payments you are required to make under these Conditions of Use or on our risk. If a default other than not making the payments you are required to make under these Conditions of Use occurs but it can be remedied, we will give you a reasonable time to remedy it and tell you what this period is (unless we reasonably believe that doing so will impact our ability to manage an immediate risk). If you do not remedy the default within the period we specify, we may take the actions listed above in relation to payment defaults. If you are experiencing financial difficulty, including where you are having trouble paying the amounts you owe under these Conditions of Use, it’s important that you contact us as soon as possible. We may be able to work with you to develop a solution to pay the amount due. The sooner you contact us, the easier it is for us to help. If, in future, you apply for a credit contract with a member of the Macquarie Group that will be guaranteed by another person, we are required to provide any notice of demand we have made on you in the past 2 years to the proposed creditor and to the potential guarantor.
32 Part I – Account suspension, Account closure and Card cancellation 30. How we may suspend your Account Sometimes we may need to suspend your Account. This means we may: • restrict or temporarily suspend your ability to make any further Transactions on the Account • restrict or temporarily suspend your ability to make further Cash Advances on the Account • block a proposed Transaction (or type or class of Transaction) on your Account, rather than suspending all Transactions on your Account • suspend your participation in a rewards program, including restricting your ability to redeem under the program • suspend your access to Electronic Banking • reduce the Credit Limit of your Account (including limits set for non-Purchase Transactions) as stated in condition 9, and / or • choose not to re-issue any Card. In addition to any of the other circumstances set out in these Conditions of Use, we may (but are not obliged to) suspend your Account or block a Transaction if: • you breach, or we reasonably suspect you have breached, these Conditions of Use in a manner we reasonably consider involves a material risk to us or is materially adverse to us • an Additional Cardholder breaches, or we reasonably suspect they have breached, these Conditions of Use in a manner we reasonably consider involves a material risk to us or is materially adverse to us • you or an Additional Cardholder do not provide us with any information that we have reasonably requested and we reasonably consider such circumstances create a material risk to us or prevent us from complying with our legal or regulatory obligations or compliance policies • you use a promotion or other offer in a way that we reasonably determine is inappropriate • you behave in a way towards our staff, our service providers or other customers that we reasonably consider to be inappropriate • we reasonably believe it necessary in order to prevent the occurrence of fraud • you are (or we reasonably believe you are) using the Account to conduct Transactions for business purposes (as described in condition 10.6)
33 • you are (or we reasonably believe you are) using the Account to conduct related party Transactions (as described in condition 10.6) • we reasonably believe your Account is being used in a way that may cause loss to you or us (including, without limitation, where unauthorised Transactions have been reported on the Account) • we become aware of any dispute which in our reasonable opinion has a bearing on the Account, including without limitation whether instructions provided to us are authorised or valid • enforcement proceedings are taken against you by us in respect of another credit contract or by another creditor • we are required to by law (including, without limitation, any Anti-Money Laundering or Counter-Terrorism Financing laws and sanctions) or a court order • in the case of Electronic Banking, we experience unexpected technical or security issues or problems • we determine, acting reasonably, that it is otherwise necessary to do so in order to mitigate a material risk to us or you, or to protect our legitimate business interests. If we exercise our rights to suspend your Card or Account, you must continue to make payments to the Account in accordance with condition 15. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from suspending your Account or blocking a Transaction on your Account. We will be liable for any loss or liability which arises as a result of our mistake, error, fraud, negligence or wilful misconduct We will act reasonably in relation to any decision to suspend an Account or block a transaction (or type or class of transaction). We will notify you if we decide to suspend your Account. Where possible and appropriate, we will endeavour to give you prior notice. If we cannot contact you or providing advance notice would be impracticable or inappropriate (for example, where we suspect fraud on your Account) we will generally notify you as soon as practicable afterwards.
34 Without limiting the above, certain classes of Transactions are automatically blocked for all Accounts, including Transactions which are registered under the gambling merchant category code (which means you can’t use your Card at most providers of gambling and lottery services). There will be instances where we are unable to block a Transaction, despite it being part of a blocked Transaction class – you will still be responsible for these Transactions. 31. Requesting us to close the Account You can request closure of the Account at any time by telling us online, in writing or by calling us. We will tell you what is required to close your Account when you make a request. This may include, without limitation, taking the actions described in condition 33. 32. How we may close the Account or cancel a Card At our reasonable discretion, we may cancel any Card or close the Account or do both at any time for the following reasons: • we reasonably consider you induced us to issue any Card by fraud • we reasonably believe the Card is being used in a way that may cause loss to you or us • you breach, or we reasonably suspect you have breached, these Conditions of Use in a manner we reasonably consider involves a material risk to us or is materially adverse to us, including, without limitation, where you are in default as described in condition 29. • you have moved permanently overseas or are overseas for a period of more than 2 years. • you behave in a way towards our staff, our service providers or other customers that we consider inappropriate • the Account becomes inactive • your Account has a credit balance and becomes subject to unclaimed monies laws, or we otherwise consider it reasonably necessary to mitigate a material risk to you or us or to protect our legitimate business interests. In exercising our discretion, we will act reasonably.If we suspect that there has been fraud committed in respect of the Account, we may suspend the provision of credit until the fraud has been investigated. We may cancel the Account after an investigation into the fraud if we believe such action is reasonably necessary.
35 If we close your Account or cancel a Card, we will notify you as soon as reasonably possible afterwards (unless your Account has a credit balance, in which case we will notify you before closing the Account or cancelling the Card). If appropriate, we may give you general reasons for doing so. 33. Payment on closure or cancellation 33.1 If any one or more of the following occurs: • you request us to close your Account under condition 31 • we close your Account under condition 32, or • we cancel your Card under condition 32, then, as soon as possible, you must • stop using the Account and all associated Cards • cut all Cards into pieces • cancel any recurring direct entry debits, and • pay the Balance Owing On The Account on demand or by request from us (together with amounts for Transactions not yet processed on the Account, government taxes and duties and other charges for the period up to closure or cancellation and any fees, charges and interest incurred before closure or cancellation (subject to condition 28). You must also repay any credit provided between the time of closure or cancellation of the Account or any Card issued on the Account and the time all cards are destroyed. These Conditions of Use continue to apply until the balance is reduced to nil following closure and interest, fees and charges and our reasonable enforcement expenses will continue to be chargeable until this occurs. 33.2 If you are not in default under these Conditions of Use and your Card is cancelled or the Account is closed, we will notify you of the amount that you are required to pay. Any demand for repayment will include a notice period within which the repayment is to be made. In assessing a suitable notice period and making any demand for repayment, we will act reasonably and will endeavour to take your circumstances into account as far as practical. 33.3 You must also pay the reasonable enforcement expenses we reasonably incur in enforcing these Conditions of Use. Enforcement expenses can be charged to your Account.
36 34. Investigating Suspicious Transactions 34.1 If we suspect that there have been fraudulent Transactions attempted on your Account, Card or any Additional Card, we may suspend the provision of credit on the Account, Card or any Additional Card, until the Transaction has been confirmed by you. 34.2 Where possible and appropriate, we will attempt to communicate this suspension to you. However, if we cannot or do not contact you, we will proceed with the suspension or blocking of the provision of credit without having provided prior notice to you. In that case, we will attempt to notify you of the suspension or blocking of your Account after the suspension or blocking occurs, where appropriate. 34.3 You acknowledge that for the prevention of suspected fraud, time is of the essence and that the suspension of an Account without prior notice to you is necessary to protect your Account and both you and us from possible losses. 34.4 You agree that we are not responsible for any losses which you may incur as a result of us suspending the provision of credit in circumstances where we reasonably suspected fraud. We will be liable for any loss or liability which arises as a result of our mistake, error, negligence or wilful misconduct. Part J – Errors, disputes and complaints 35. Errors, disputes and complaints Errors and disputes 35.1 If you believe an error has been made, or unauthorised Transactions have occurred, or you have any other questions after checking your Statement, please notify us as soon as you become aware by calling us or emailing us. You may also be able to lock your Card using Mobile Banking, which will prevent further Transactions. 35.2 Please give us your name and Account number and any relevant details of the error or unauthorised use, including the amount involved. We may also ask you for further information. If we become aware of a dispute concerning your account, we may suspend your account in accordance with condition 30. We may keep such a suspension in place until an agreement has been reached between the parties which is acceptable to us.
37 Complaints 35.3 If we cannot solve the problem immediately, we will give you a summary of the investigation procedure we will follow. If we have not finished our investigation and told you the result and our reasons in writing within 21 days of receiving your complaint, we will let you know that we need more time. 35.4 We will complete our investigations and tell you the result and our reasons in writing within 30 days after receiving full details of your complaint unless there are exceptional circumstances, which we will write to you about. If we decide that the Account has been incorrectly debited or credited, we will adjust it (including any fees, interest and charges) and tell you in writing. If we decide that there has not been an incorrect debit or credit, or we decide that you have contributed to at least part of the loss involved in an unauthorised Transaction, we will give you copies of any evidence. If you are not satisfied with our decision, you may request a senior management review. If it is determined that our decision was wrong, or our procedures were unsatisfactory, and these influenced the complaint result or caused unreasonable delay, we will be liable for the Transaction. If you are not satisfied with the steps taken by us to resolve your complaint, or with the result of our investigation, you may contact the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA). AFCA is an independent external complaints handling body approved for this purpose by ASIC. This service is available to individuals and small businesses and is free of charge. AFCA may be contacted at: Australian Financial Complaints Authority GPO Box 3, Melbourne VIC 3001 Telephone: 1800 931 678 Website: www.afca.org.au We are bound by whatever AFCA decides. However, if you do not agree with AFCA’s determination you are not bound by it and you can take the matter to court if you wish.

Chargeback information In some circumstances, the rules of the Visa International card scheme allow us to charge a Transaction on your Account back to the merchant with whom a Cardholder made the Transaction. Chargeback rights are not available in respect of BPAY payments made from your Account. We will claim a chargeback right (if the right is available) for a Transaction on your Account if: a. you ask us to do so, and b. you give us the information and material we require to support the chargeback, within 30 days after the date of the Statement on which the Transaction is recorded. Otherwise any chargeback we have under the rules of the Visa International card scheme may be lost. We cannot claim a right of chargeback if the right does not exist. Your claim must fall within a specific category before we can exercise our rights in respect of a disputed Transaction. The rules of the Visa International card scheme prevent us from disclosing details of when a chargeback is or is not available to us. Part K – Electronic Banking 37. Use of Electronic Banking Your use of Electronic Banking is subject to these Conditions of Use and any separate terms of use we publish using our Electronic Banking platforms from time to time (if any).
39 Part L – B PAY scheme 38. BPAY scheme 38.1 Payments made using the BPAY scheme are subject to separate terms and conditions located in the Electronic Banking Terms and Conditions. Part M – General information 39. ePayments Code The ePayments Code ( Code ) is an industry code administered by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. 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. 40. Banking Code of Practice The Banking Code of Practice ( BCOP ) is an industry code which sets standards of good banking conduct. The relevant provisions of the BCOP apply to this banking service. 41. National Credit Code This condition applies to the extent that the National Credit Code and other applicable laws apply to this agreement. If: a. that Code or law would otherwise make a provision of this agreement illegal, void or unenforceable, or b. a provision of this agreement would otherwise contravene a requirement of that Code or law or impose an obligation or liability which is prohibited by that Code or law, this agreement is to be read as if that provision were varied to the extent necessary to comply with that Code or law or, if necessary, omitted. 42. Electronic communication consent We may offer to provide you with Statements, notices and other information relating to your Account electronically or by making this information available on our website. Where you consent to us communicating electronically, you authorise us to act on instructions we have received electronically. This consent and authority will apply to all
40 communications permitted to take place electronically by law (including any applicable industry Code or Code of Conduct) including but not limited to: a. Statements b. notices and other documents from us to you about your Account, and c. variations to these Conditions of Use.

Only you can use the Chip for any of the available services.

42 e. you acknowledge that in certain circumstances Macquarie Group may be obliged to freeze or block an Account where it is used in connection with Illegal Activities or suspected Illegal Activities. Freezing or blocking can arise as a result of the Account monitoring that is required by AML/CTF Laws and / or its internal policies and procedures. If Macquarie Group freezes or blocks your Account because it believes on a reasonable basis that it is required to do so in order to comply with AML/CTF Laws and / or its internal policies and procedures, we are not liable to you for any consequences or losses whatsoever, except to the extent such liability arose from our mistake, fraud, negligence or wilful misconduct 46.

Information Statement Things you should know about your proposed credit contract This statement tells you about some of the rights and obligations of yourself and your credit provider. It does not state the terms and conditions of your contract. If you have any concerns about your contract, contact your credit provider and, if you still have concerns, your credit provider’s external dispute resolution scheme, or get legal advice. The contract
- How can I get details of my proposed credit contract? Your credit provider must give you a precontractual statement containing certain information about your contract. The precontractual statement, and this document, must be given to you before: • your contract is entered into, or • you make an offer to enter into the contract, whichever happens first.
- How can I get a copy of the final contract? If the contract document is to be signed by you and returned to your credit provider, you must be given a copy to keep. Also, the credit provider must give you a copy of the final contract within 14 days after it is made. This rule does not, however, apply if the credit provider has previously given you a copy of the document to keep. If you want another copy of your contract write to your credit provider and ask for one. Your credit provider may charge you a fee. Your credit provider has to give you a copy:
44 • within 14 days of your written request if the original contract came into existence 1 year or less before your request, or • otherwise within 30 days of your written request. 3. Can I terminate the contract? Yes. You can terminate the contract by writing to the credit provider so long as: • you have not obtained any credit under the contract, or • a card or other means of obtaining credit given to you by your credit provider has not been used to acquire goods or services for which credit is to be provided under the contract. However, you will still have to pay any fees or charges incurred before you terminated the contract. 4. Can I pay my credit contract out early? Yes. Pay your credit provider the amount required to pay out your credit contract on the day you wish to end your contract. 5. How can I find out the pay out figure? You can write to your credit provider at any time and ask for a statement of the pay out figure as at any date you specify. You can also ask for details of how the amount is made up. Your credit provider must give you the statement within 7 days after you give your request to the credit provider. You may be charged a fee for the statement. 6. Will I pay less interest if I pay out my contract early? Yes. The interest you can be charged depends on the actual time money is owing. However, you may have to pay an early termination charge (if your contract permits your credit provider to charge one) and other fees. 7. Can my contract be changed by my credit provider? Yes, but only if your contract says so.
45 8. Will I be told in advance if my credit provider is going to make a change in the contract? That depends on the type of change. For example: • you get at least same day notice for a change to an annual percentage rate. That notice may be a written notice to you or a notice published by your credit provider. • you get 30 days advance written notice for: i. a change in the way in which interest is calculated, or ii. a change in credit fees and charges, or iii. any other changes by your credit provider, except where the change reduces what you have to pay or the change happens automatically under the contract. 9. Is there anything I can do if I think that my contract is unjust? Yes. You should first talk to your credit provider. Discuss the matter and see if you can come to some arrangement. If that is not successful, you may contact your credit provider’s external dispute resolution scheme. External dispute resolution is a free service established to provide you with an independent mechanism to resolve specific complaints. Your credit provider’s external dispute resolution provider is the Australian Financial Complaints Authority and can be contacted on 1800 931 678, by email at info@afca.org.au or in writing to GPO Box 3, Melbourne, VIC, 3001. Alternatively, you can go to court. You may wish to get legal advice, for example from your community legal centre or Legal Aid. You can also contact ASIC, the regulator, for information on 1300 300 630 or through ASIC’s website at www.asic.gov.au. Insurance 10. Do I have to take out insurance? Your credit provider can insist you take out or pay the cost of types of insurance specifically allowed by law. These are compulsory third party personal injury insurance, mortgage indemnity insurance or insurance over property covered by any mortgage. Otherwise, you can decide if you want to take out insurance or not. If you take out insurance, the credit provider cannot insist that you use any particular insurance company.
46 11. Will I get details of my insurance cover? Yes, if you have taken out insurance over mortgaged property or consumer credit insurance and the premium is financed by your credit provider. In that case the insurer must give you a copy of the policy within 14 days after the insurer has accepted the insurance proposal. Also, if you acquire an interest in any such insurance policy which is taken out by your credit provider then, within 14 days of that happening, your credit provider must ensure you have a written notice of the particulars of that insurance. You can always ask the insurer for details of your insurance contract. If you ask in writing your insurer must give you a statement containing all the provisions of the contract. 12. If the insurer does not accept my proposal, will I be told? Yes, if the insurance was to be financed by the credit contract. The insurer will inform you if the proposal is rejected. 13. In that case, what happens to the premiums? Your credit provider must give you a refund or credit unless the insurance is to be arranged with another insurer. 14. What happens if my credit contract ends before any insurance contract over mortgaged property? You can end the insurance contract and get a proportionate rebate of any premium from the insurer. General 15. What do I do if I cannot make a repayment? Get in touch with your credit provider immediately. Discuss the matter and see if you can come to some arrangement. You can ask your credit provider to change your contract in a number of ways, for example: • to extend the term of your contract and reduce payments, or • to extend the term of your contract and delay payments for a set time, or • to delay payments for a set time.
47 16. What if my credit provider and I cannot agree on a suitable arrangement? If the credit provider refuses your request to change the repayments, you can ask the credit provider to review this decision if you think it is wrong. If the credit provider still refuses your request you can complain to the external dispute resolution scheme that your credit provider belongs to. Further details about this scheme are set out below in question 17. 17. Can my credit provider take action against me? Yes, if you are in default under your contract. But the law says that you cannot be unduly harassed or threatened for repayments. If you think you are being unduly harassed or threatened, contact the credit provider’s external dispute resolution scheme or ASIC, or get legal advice. 18. Do I have any other rights and obligations? Yes. The law will give you other rights and obligations. You should also read your contract carefully.

YOU MUST ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE YOUR COMPLAINT WITH YOUR CREDIT PROVIDER BEFORE CONTACTING YOUR CREDIT PROVIDER’S EXTERNAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION SCHEME.

Macquarie Platinum Credit Card Macquarie Group Limited 3 Travel Tips Confirm whether You meet the eligibility requirements for cover before going on a Trip. Pack a sufficient supply of Your regular medications in Your carry-on luggage. This way, if Your luggage is lost or delayed You won’t have any concern over taking Your medication as required. Check the travel advice issued by Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) for Your travel destination and the countries You plan to visit on Your Trip. Find out the emergency services contact numbers for the destination(s) and any other countries You are travelling to. Record the numbers for police, ambulance, Your travel insurance provider and the nearest Australian Embassy. Visit Your Doctor and Dentist for a general check-up before You leave Home. Ask about any vaccinations relevant to Your destination and any other countries You intend to visit during Your Trip. Ensure Your regular vaccinations, such as the flu shot and tetanus shot, are up to date. Get Your Doctor to print a list of all Your current medications, their generic names, dosages and frequency taken. Print a spare copy and keep it separate from Your main luggage. These travel tips are intended as general information only and do not constitute advice of any kind, nor do they take into consideration Your personal circumstances. Chubb does not accept any liability arising from any reliance upon these travel tips.
Macquarie Platinum Credit Card Macquarie Group Limited 4 Insurance Terms and Conditions This Policy is effective from 18 June 2025 Policy Number: 01PN529928 Terms and Conditions This Policy sets out important information about the insurance benefits available to eligible Card Members and Additional Card Members. The Policy explains the nature of the arrangements and their relevant benefits and risks. If You feel that this product does not meet Your specific needs and intended coverage, this Policy may not be right for You. You may need to buy separate or additional insurance if You do not satisfy the eligibility requirements or if this Policy does not cover You or the things You need cover for. This document provides general advice only. It does not take into account Your individual objectives, financial situation or needs. You need to decide if the limits, type and level of cover are appropriate for You. There is no obligation to accept any of the benefits of this cover. However, if You wish to make a claim under the cover provided within this Policy, You will be bound by the definitions, terms and conditions, exclusions and claims procedures set out in this document. These terms and conditions have been prepared by and are the responsibility of Chubb. Group Policy with Chubb Macquarie Bank Limited ABN: 46 008 583 542, AFSL No. 237502 (Macquarie Bank) is the insured under a Group Policy issued and underwritten by Chubb Insurance Australia Limited (ABN 23 001 642 020, AFSL No. 239687). Under the Group Policy entered into between Macquarie Bank and Chubb You get automatic access, where You have met the eligibility requirements set out in the Eligibility for Insurance Table, to the benefits detailed in this Policy provided by Chubb as the insurer. You are not charged by Chubb for these benefits and can access the relevant benefits if You are a Card Member. Macquarie has no responsibility or liability to You in relation to any insurance claim. Section 48 of the Insurance Contracts Act Access to this insurance is provided to You solely by reason of the statutory operation of section 48 of the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (Cth). You are not a contracting insured (i.e. You cannot vary or cancel the cover – only Macquarie Bank can do this) and You do not enter into any agreement with Us. Macquarie Bank is not the insurer, does not guarantee or hold this right on trust for You and does not act as Chubb’s agent (that is, on behalf of Chubb). Neither Macquarie Bank nor any of its related corporations are Authorised Representatives (under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)) of Chubb or any of its related companies. No Advice Macquarie Bank is not authorised to provide any advice, recommendations or opinions about this insurance on behalf of Chubb. No advice is provided by Chubb on whether this insurance is appropriate for Your needs, financial situation or objectives. You should read this Policy carefully and contact Chubb if assistance is required. Updating this Policy This Policy may be changed by Chubb and Macquarie without Your consent from time to time. A copy of any updated information is available to You at no cost by visiting Macquarie Bank Platinum Credit Card Insurance . Macquarie Bank will advise You when there is an update to this Policy as advised by Chubb. Other Insurance The insurance cover described in this Policy is provided for Your benefit under the Group Policy entered into between Chubb and Macquarie Bank. If You are entitled to receive a benefit or make a claim under another insurance policy (for example a home and contents policy, an alternative mobile phone policy or individual travel insurance) in respect to the same loss as Your claim under this Policy, then to the extent permitted by law Chubb is not liable to provide indemnity under this Policy until the amount of any indemnity under the other policy is exhausted. Therefore, any insurance cover under this Policy in respect of the same loss shall only be excess insurance cover over and above the applicable policy.

IMPORTANT: any examples in this Policy are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not take into account all Policy terms and conditions.

Macquarie Platinum Credit Card Macquarie Group Limited 7 Important Things To Know About This Policy Age Limits Please note that to be eligible for some of the benefits under this Policy, You must fall within the relevant age limits. Please see the table below for a summary of the age limits that apply within this Policy. Cover Section Age Limit Age Limit for Covered Person Travel Insurance Cover Section A – Overseas Medical Emergency Expenses Cover You must be eighty-five (85) years of age or younger at the time You make Your Relevant Travel Purchase. Travel Insurance Cover (Section B - J) No age limitations apply for these cover sections. Rental Vehicle Excess Cover (Section K) No age limitations apply for these cover sections. Card Purchase Cover (Section L) Buyer’s Advantage Cover (Section M) No age limitations apply for these cover sections. Excess Where applicable, an Excess is applied for each Covered Person, for each Event. If a claim is covered and an Excess applies, the Excess is first deducted from the claim amount before any limits are applied to the claim amount. A claim will not be payable where the Excess amount is the same as, or more than, Your claim amount. The Excess amount is specified in the Schedule of Benefits. For Section E – Loss of Income Cover, the Excess is a waiting period, which is the amount of time You have to wait until the benefit may become payable.
Macquarie Platinum Credit Card Macquarie Group Limited 8 Example The below examples are provided for illustrative purposes only. Each claim will be assessed individually, based on the facts relative to the specific claim Example A – Excess Applied: Example B – Excess and depreciation applied: Example C – Excess applied to more than one Event: Anna books accommodation to the Sunshiny caravan park. Her Trip with the family is in summer, which is 3 months away. A week before the start of the family Trip, her son has an accident at school and breaks his leg. Unfortunately, he needs surgery and the Doctor confirms its best to be at home for the recovery. Anna paid $1,200 for the accommodation. The Excess is $250. a. Deduct the Excess of $250 b. Check the total cover limits and sub limits in Schedule of Benefits. The amount claimable is below these limits Calculation for the amount payable: (-Excess) + accommodation = amount payable (-$250) + $1,200 = $950 Jane travels to Brazil and while in Brazil her laptop is stolen. She reports the theft to the police and provides Us with the required documentation. Jane paid $6,000 for her laptop 12 months prior to this Event. Jane’s Excess is $250. a. Deduct the Excess of $250 b. Establish original purchase price of the laptop: $6,000 c. Apply depreciation*: • 2.5% per month for 12 months = 30% depreciation. • 30% of $6,000 = $1,800 total depreciation. d. Establish current value of the laptop by subtracting depreciation from the purchase price of the laptop • $6,000 - $1,800 = $4,200 e. Check the total and per item limit shown in the Schedule of Benefits and select the lower of current value of the laptop or the item limit. If the per item limit is $2,500 which is lower than the current value $4,200, hence We take the lower number = $2,500 The $250 Policy Excess is not deducted from the $2,500 per item limit in this instance since Jane’s loss is higher than the per item limit payable plus Excess. $2,500 claim payment. Rob and his wife travelled to France for 14 days. On the 4th day of their trip, Rob slips down the stairs at the hotel. Thankfully it’s not a major injury, but he did twist his ankle and needs to seek medical attention. He was billed $500 for the doctor’s appointment including some scans and medication. On the 8th day, Rob had his laptop stolen which was worth $1,000 when it was purchased 6 months ago. When they return to Australia, Rob submitted a claim for the 2 Events. As Rob and his wife had 2 Events during their trip to France, an excess would be applied to each of the Events (and Covered Persons). Claim 1: (-$250) excess + $500 Medical costs = $250 claim payment Claim 2: a. Deduct the Excess of $250 b. Establish original purchase price of the laptop: $1,000 c. Apply depreciation*: • 2.5% per month for 6 months = 15% depreciation. • 15% of $1,000 = $150 total depreciation. d. Establish current value of the laptop by subtracting depreciation from the purchase price of the laptop • $1,000 - $150 = $850 Calculation for the amount payable: (-Excess) + current value = amount payable (-$250) + $850 = $600 claim payment. *For depreciation details, please review Section H - Personal Baggage, Valuables, Money and Travel Documents Cover
Macquarie Platinum Credit Card Macquarie Group Limited 9 Pre-Existing Medical Conditions This Policy does not cover any Pre-Existing Medical Conditions under Sections A – K below. If You have Pre- Existing Medical Conditions, this cover may not be right for You. Before You make Your Relevant Travel Purchase, You should consider whether a medical condition is considered Pre-Existing based on the Pre- Existing Medical Condition definition within this Policy and whether this Policy provides the right cover for You and Your health situation. Aggregate Limit of Liability – Section C – Accidental Death Cover and Section D – Public Transport Accident Cover only Our total liability for all claims arising under the Policy in respect of any one (1) Injury or series of Injuries arising out of any one (1) Event during the Period of Insurance is limited to $1,000,000 (the Aggregate Limit of Liability). If the Aggregate Limit of Liability is reached, then the claims payment will be allocated amongst all Covered Persons on a proportional basis. COVID-19 What is covered? This Policy treats COVID-19 in the same way as any other Illness. This means where there is coverage for Illness related Events under the following sections, it applies to COVID-19:
- Section A – Overseas Medical Emergency Expenses Cover;
- Section B – Trip Cancellation and Amendment Cover; and
- Section F – Resumption of Long Overseas Trip Cover. What is not covered? We will not pay for any benefit, loss or costs arising from or relating to:
- border closures or government issued “Do Not Travel” warnings arising from COVID-19 (including where the border closure or travel warning occurs after You made Your Relevant Travel Purchase);
- mandatory quarantine, except when You have a valid Trip Change or Curtailment claim under specified Event 1 of Section B – Trip Cancellation and Amendment Cover and incur reasonable additional travel or accommodation expenses resulting from the quarantine. Pregnancy It’s important to understand how pregnancy affects Your cover under this Policy. Whilst Your retail item benefits are unaffected, some of Your travel insurance benefits are limited as summarised below. When does the travel insurance cover You, if You are pregnant? If You are pregnant, You will be covered for unforeseen emergency medical Treatment whilst overseas up to 8 weeks before Your estimated date of delivery. However, You will not be covered for costs associated with the actual birth of Your child overseas or any pregnancy related medical conditions that You are already suffering from before Your Relevant Travel Purchase is made. For more information see – When are You not covered? (below). Two key sections of this Policy that You should be aware of are:
- Section A – Overseas Medical Emergency Expenses Cover: You are covered for Events arising from or related to Your pregnancy when You are on an Overseas Return Trip, if You have a pregnancy related Medical Emergency resulting from an Injury or Illness, which: a. occurs more than eight (8) weeks before Your estimated date of delivery; and b. is not otherwise excluded within this Policy.
- Section B – Trip Cancellation and Amendment Cover: You are covered if You have an Injury or unforeseen Illness arising from or related to Your pregnancy that prevents You from going on the Trip or continuing the Trip, and which: a. is confirmed by medical evidence provided by a treating Doctor; and b. occurs more than eight (8) weeks before Your estimated date of delivery; and c. is not otherwise excluded within this Policy. When are You not covered if You are pregnant? You are not covered for any costs arising from or related to: a. any Pre-Existing Medical Condition; b. any past medical condition(s) relating to a previous pregnancy or if You have experienced pregnancy complications prior to You making Your Relevant Travel Purchase; c. Your pregnancy under Section A – Overseas Medical Emergency Expenses Cover or Section B - Trip Cancellation and Amendment Cover within 8 weeks of Your estimated date of delivery; d. any costs under Section A - Overseas Medical Emergency Expenses Cover arising from childbirth or the health of a newborn child. This exclusion applies irrespective of the stage of pregnancy at which the child is born. Meaning a newborn (whether premature or otherwise) is not considered a Covered Person under the Policy if the child was born on the Trip;
Macquarie Platinum Credit Card Macquarie Group Limited 10 e. any costs under Section A - Overseas Medical Emergency Expenses Cover arising from or relating to an abortion, unless this is to save the life of the mother following an Injury or Illness; f. any costs under Section A - Overseas Medical Emergency Expenses Cover arising from fertility Treatment or Treatment associated with an assisted reproduction program including but not limited to, in vitro fertilisation (IVF). Excluded Sports and Activities Not everything You do on your Trip will be covered by this Policy. This includes: • some popular holiday activities such as bungee jumping, jet skiing, horse riding or trekking (with climbing equipment or when You ascend more than 3,000 metres from sea level). • a sporting event where You may be eligible to receive a fee, including prize money. Please see the definition of ‘Excluded Sports and Activities’ for a full list of activities and sports which are not covered under this Policy. Travelling Against Medical or Government Advice If You are advised not to travel or not to go on a particular Trip (for example, to a specific destination), You must comply with that advice. You will not be covered under Sections A – K of this Policy if You start a Trip against the following advice: a. a treating Doctor advises You not to travel; or b. an Australian State or Territory or the Australian Federal Government or an Australian government agency (such as DFAT) advises You not to travel (for example, through border closures or ‘Do Not Travel’ travel advisories). This exclusion applies even if You have been granted a travel exemption by an Australian State or Territory, the Australian Federal Government or an Australian government agency (such as DFAT) to travel. Return Trips Only You are only eligible for cover under sections A - K of this Policy for return Trips i.e. trips that begin and end from Your Home or Work in Australia. It does not cover One-Way Trips where You have no plans to return to Australia. If you have not made Your Relevant Travel Purchase prior to your Trip departure date, you are not eligible for cover under this Policy. Please refer to the Eligibility for Insurance Table for more information. You may need to provide evidence of Your intention to return to Your Home or Your Work where reasonably possible, for example by providing copies of a return ticket, itinerary or schedule, return transfer or accommodation bookings, confirmation of return to Work dates etc. Remember, cover automatically ends for all Trips at 90 days for Overseas Return Trips and 14 days for Domestic Return Trips. Fraud Chubb considers it important for customers to take insurance fraud seriously. Creation or submission of false documents, or exaggerating a genuine claim is considered insurance fraud. Such behaviour has a negative impact on the cost of insurance for all customers. We utilise Our dedicated special investigations unit at Chubb to detect and investigate selected claims daily. When the evidence supports it, Chubb will report suspect claims to the police and dedicate resources to assisting any potential criminal prosecutions. Goods and Services Tax If We agree to pay a claim under Your Policy, We will base any claim payment on the Goods and Services Tax (G.S.T.) inclusive costs (up to the relevant Policy limit). Australian Law This Policy is governed by the laws of the State or Territory of Australia where Your Home is. Any dispute or action in connection with this Policy shall be conducted and determined in the courts of the State or Territory of Australia where Your Home is. Australian Currency All payments by You to Us and Us to You under this Policy must be in Australian currency. Termination Cover is terminated at the earlier of the following: • cancellation of Your Macquarie Bank Card Account; or • termination of the Group Policy. Upon termination of the Group Policy, the insurance benefits will no longer be available to Card Members and Additional Card Members to claim for any Event that occurred after the termination date, even if Card Members or Additional Card Members satisfied the eligibility criteria for cover before the termination date of the Group Policy. Macquarie will notify You if the Group Policy is terminated.

Suppose the number of months is 6, We will calculate the depreciation as follows: • -Excess + purchase price – deprecation = amount payable • Number of months = 6 • 6 multiplied by depreciation for laptop of 2.5% = 15% • Depreciation: $1,000 multiplied by 15% = $150 • Amount payable for Your stolen laptop: (-$250)
- $1,000 - $150 = $600 This example is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account all Policy terms and conditions. Depreciation Table Items Percentage of the purchase price to be deducted for each month of age of the item at the time of the Event Maximum amount we will decrease the purchase price by Electronic equipment 2.5% 65% Camera (including lenses and accessories) 2.5% 65% Sunglasses 1.5% 65% Smartphone 2.5% 65% Laptop 2.5% 65% Jewellery 0% 0% Sports equipment 2.0% 65% Cosmetics 2.5% 65% Clothing 1.9% 65% Other personal items 1.5% 65%
