Following the RBA's cash rate announcement on Tuesday, Macquarie increased its four-month intro savings account rate by 15 basis points.
From next week the rate will be 1.50% p.a. - an increase of a further 25 basis points.
There are no conditions like minimum deposits or five card transactions that need to be completed to attain the rate.
Before the RBA announcement, Macquarie also increased its term deposit rates by between 25 and 145 basis points.
Its one-year term deposit rate is now 2.50% p.a., while four and five year rates are now 3.50% p.a. - competing alongside Judo Bank's rates which have breached the 4% barrier.
