Macquarie is removing card payments from DEFT on 1 October 2026. If your Re-Leased invoice templates show DEFT payment options with card references (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Diners), those references need to be removed before then.
Macquarie has also refreshed the DEFT branding and wording, so it's a good time to bring your payment advice section fully in line with the current design.
What the updated payment advice looks like
The approved design includes:
Macquarie Bank and DEFT logos (top left)
BPAY logo
A Direct Debit section showing your DEFT Reference Number and the wording "Visit deft.com.au to pay by direct debit"
A BPAY section showing Biller Code, your reference number, and the wording "Mobile & Internet Banking – BPAY®. Make this payment from your preferred bank account"
Card payment wording and card logos should be removed entirely.
How to update your template
In Re-Leased, go to Settings > Invoice Templates
Select the template you want to update, then click Edit Template
Under Payment Advice, click Edit
Remove the credit card wording, the "Payments by credit card will attract a surcharge" text, and the four card logos
Update the remaining logos, wording, and layout to match the approved design above. Use the image icon to insert logos and Insert Merge Fields to pull through your reference numbers
Save your template
For a refresher on how the merge fields work, see Setting Up Macquarie DEFT/BPAY Payments for Tenants.
If you use more than one invoice template with DEFT payment advice, repeat these steps for each one.
PayID and Post Billpay
If you'd like to add PayID as a payment option, or if you currently offer Post Billpay on your remittance slip and below is an example of the approved design.
