About Macquarie Bank Europe Designated Activity Company

Macquarie Bank Europe Designated Activity Company is an Ireland-incorporated entity within Macquarie Group that serves primarily professional clients and eligible counterparties across the European Economic Area, operating from Dublin under authorization and supervision by the Central Bank of Ireland. The firm’s activity set typically encompasses corporate and institutional banking and markets services, including financing and lending to wholesale clients, risk management solutions in fixed income, currencies and commodities, derivatives execution, and futures clearing, with client engagement conducted through relationship teams and electronic platforms rather than a retail branch model. It is structured as a separately regulated entity subject to EU and Irish prudential and conduct requirements (including CRR/CRD and MiFID II), with local governance, capital and liquidity responsibilities, and periodic public disclosures such as audited financial statements and Pillar 3 reports. Pricing, fees and collateral terms are negotiated by product and counterparty and are documented in client agreements; public tariff schedules are limited. Client classification determines protections: the Irish Deposit Guarantee Scheme covers eligible deposits up to EUR 100,000 per depositor, per institution, where applicable, and the Investor Compensation Scheme may apply to eligible investor clients in limited circumstances, noting that professional and eligible counterparty classifications are often excluded; not all products or balances qualify for any scheme coverage. Onboarding involves standard AML/KYC procedures, sanctions screening and legal documentation (for example ISDA, GMRA, or futures clearing agreements, as relevant). The firm does not position itself as a retail bank and does not market personal current accounts or mass-market savings; access is relationship-led and product-specific. Prospective clients should verify the firm’s current regulatory permissions, review client asset and safeguarding arrangements, and assess counterparty, market and operational risks associated with the intended activities before entering into any agreement.
