Never Miss a Due Date Again!
Simplify your life—set it and forget with Macquarie’s Direct Debit
Did you know that your OC fees can be deducted automatically on the due date via the direct debit facility that is now available through the Macquarie DEFT platform?
Many lot owners have already taken advantage of this 'set and forget' facility where fees are automatically deducted from your nominated bank account on the scheduled date, ensuring timely payment which gives you the peace of mind to focus on other things, without the hassle of worrying about forgetting to pay by certain due dates.
If this is something that you would like to set up moving forward, please send us an email at delaray@quantumunited.com.au and we can arrange to have a unique invitation for your lot to be sent to you via the Macquarie Deft Platform.
Once your Direct Debit has been set up with Macquarie Bank's DEFT Payment System, there will be no more forms to complete, no more cheques to write, no more postage charges to pay and no more standing in queues to make payments.
While members are under no obligation to set up direct debit facility, we encourage you to take this opportunity to simplify your payment arrangements.
If you choose the direct debit facility, you will still continue to receive fee notices via your preferred delivery method, however, the fee amount will automatically be debited from your nominated account on the due date noted on your fee notice.
Frequently Asked Questions from Lot Owners
Will my direct debit amount update if my fee amount changes?
Yes, once registered, the Macquarie DEFT system will be synced with the Owners Corporation lot account. Any changes to your fee amount will automatically update your direct debit amount, ensuring accurate and seamless payments.
What happens to my direct debit if I sell my property?
Your account will no longer be debited once your property sale is processed. The Macquarie DEFT system is directly linked to the Owners Corporation database and will deactivate the direct debit for your lot when ownership details are updated.

As always, if you have any questions related to your Owners Corporation,
Club Delaray or Delaray in general, please do not hesitate to reach out to the friendly Delaray team at Quantum via email delaray@quantumunited.com.au or via phone (03) 8360 8800 - we are always happy to help!
