I took it from earlier posts that some "refugees from Macquarie" were putting money with them.
I was trying to fast-track instant Premier status by dangling that carrot.
I'm very happy with most of Macquarie (but don't have a home loan so can't comment).
Sorta half-annoyed that they changed the T&Cs on a good CC a while back, but I moved on pretty quickly, and, TBH, their security is top notch (at last, after limiting your password length/complexity for a long time).
For a while you had to jump through hoops to get their CMA accelerator account set up, and now you don't, but it's still annoying that you can't set up auto-transfers from it, so if you have one for a SMSF, you need to manually transfer money each month to do things like fund pensions out of the associated CMA (which earns less interest). It's a bit of an anachronism.
But their ongoing transaction / savings account combo offers a very decent rate with no hoops, and all the features you'd want so they are my primary banking relationship.
Money comes out of my CMA Accelerator, into my CMA, from there to my HSBC, and two days later, into my Macquarie savings account. From there, things like credit cards are direct debited on their due date.
That's my process
