If you’re trying to connect a Trust or Business account from Macquarie to TaxTank and the account isn’t appearing, don’t worry this is a common step that requires an extra form to be completed directly with the bank.
Why can’t I see my Macquarie Trust or Business account?
Macquarie Bank requires customers to complete an additional Open Banking Authority Form to allow access to non-personal accounts (like Trust or Business accounts) via third-party platforms like TaxTank. For trust-held accounts, this form ensures authorisation for Open Banking data sharing. For business accounts, similarly applicable forms must be completed and submitted directly to Macquarie.

If you already have Macquarie connected and need to add another account under the same login and profile, you’ll need to deactivate the existing connection and reconnect it, making sure to select all relevant accounts during the setup process.
If the additional account sits under a separate Macquarie profile, you don’t need to deactivate anything. Instead, head to your Bank Feeds, click the three dots on the Macquarie tile, select Connect Additional Profile, and follow the prompts.
FAQs
Q: Can I add both personal and trust accounts with Macquarie through Open Banking.
A: Yes, you can connect your trust and personal accounts through open banking. You’ll just need to complete the Macquarie Open Banking Consent form first. This lets you view your trust accounts alongside your personal ones in the same place. If you use different logins or user IDs for various Macquarie account types (e.g., personal vs business accounts), you can manage and connect them individually through TaxTank's platform using our multiple profile functionality.
