Macquarie Mobile Banking 4+

Love this app and the features offered by Macquarie. Great financial products that are extremely competitive and apps are very useful.

A few suggestions that would make the app a leader well ahead of the pack:
1. Budgets - Allow budgets to be created at the parent category level - this is very useful for things like mobile phone and internet services where it’s a fixed monthly amount every month
2. Categories - I have to change it every time, just remember what I set the category for that merchant to be. Would love my own categories too. CBA do this well.
3. The search has a slow UI behaviour sometimes, especially when you have to wait a second for it to load the transactions in a single category
4. Upcoming payments - I’d love to see a list of direct debit schedules on a calendar, that way I know on any given day what I’m going to be charged for
6. Can you increase some of the font sizes on a desktop browser?

Final ideas:
It’d be AMAZING if categories worked off a variable dollar or threshold amount for the merchant. E.g. I might buy lunch one day from my coffee shop, the transaction value is going to be irregular (e.g $15) compared to my normal spend for a coffee ($4) and category being ‘coffee’, it’d be great if the category changed to be ‘meals’ on it’s own based off the dollar amount.

So the app is mostly beautiful and well made - but who decided to keep the ‘x hidden dashboard tiles’ constantly visible? If I swipe them away to hide them, I don’t want them replaced by some text saying I have hidden them there forever reminding me there are hidden items. What makes it worse is one of the hidden notifications is for importing pay contacts - I’m not giving out my other banks login details to anyone or any service for security reasons, and I’m quite surprised I’m being asked to by a bank. Apart from that it’s really nice just...why clutter it up with what is essentially spam? I already have a savings account with Macquarie but it’s still asking me to start my savings journey. Also, a dark mode option would be nice (not just copying the system-wise dark mode preference, as I’d prefer dark mode in-app, but prefer system-wide light mode). Anyhow, thank you for your effort, it is for the most part really nice, functional, and pleasing to the eye.

PS - please implement Osko soon!

This is a very classy simple app that has a lot under the Bonnet. It’s clean, design and extensive range of expenses available along with Halle it produces insights into your spending is in genius. I would highly recommend downloading this app using it so that you can understand just how good it is. A lot of other banks I’ve used like UP, I bloated with all of these things that you don’t need colours options things just simply not required. Macquarie makes it simple, straightforward, clean, classy with all the information you require. I look forward to remaining with Macquarie and Seain the continued growth in there app. In all their marketing, and now having just joined them, I can confidently say;
“I bank with Macquarie” Well done guys. Seriously no wonder you’ve won the 2022 awards across-the-board simply outstanding
