My Maxxia App FAQs

General

Why is Maxxia changing your digital experience?

We’re revolutionising salary packaging and novated leases by giving our customers unprecedented control with an accessible, user-friendly digital experience that offers real-time tracking, the ability to make adjustments directly, and lightning-fast claims - all with verifiable results and complete visibility.

This isn't an upgrade - it's a transformation from uncertainty to clarity. My Maxxia delivers the control, transparency, and efficiency that salary packaging customers have been desperately seeking.

What does the new digital experience deliver?
It’s designed to put you in control, so you can do more with your money, with confidence. We’re aiming to improve visibility of the information you need to proactively manage your account quicker and easier – so you can get on with more important things.
Do I have to use the app, or website, or both? Will they have the same functionality?

Do I still need to have both Meal Entertainment and Venue Hire separately, or have these been combined given they share a cap?

How will I know if I’m spending over budget?
You will be notified via SMS notifications.
What is underspending on Living Expenses based on?
Underspending (when you have capacity to spend more of your pre-tax benefits) will be calculated based on how you are tracking towards your Fringe Benefits Tax cap. Balance will be included to ensure you have the funds to spend in your account.
Is Living Expenses spending based on how much more is in my FBT cap or my account balance?
Both. You will be advised to spend if you have money in your account to use on benefits under your pre-tax cap.
I’m a casual employee. How will budget tracking look for me?
There is a new view for casual employees where you will be able to manage your overall percentage and the benefit percentage if you have multiple employers.

Wallet

If a Wallet transaction draws from both Living Expense and Meal entertainment balances with a local offer being applied, how is that displayed in the transactions list?
