Choice of interest payment frequencies dependent on the selected term

Grace Period interest rate

The Grace Period variable rate is currently 0.05% p.a.

Our Term Deposits have a 14-day Grace Period starting from the date of maturity. During this time, you can make changes, including withdrawing funds or closing your account, without incurring a fee (or a reduction in your interest return for interest earned during the immediately preceding term).

If you do close your account or withdraw some funds during the Grace Period, you’ll be paid any undispersed interest earned throughout your term plus the Grace Period interest rate on the amount withdrawn for the period between the date of maturity and the date when funds were withdrawn.

What is a Term Deposit and how does it work?

Choice of terms

A Term Deposit is a type of savings account where your money is locked away safely for the time you choose.

Fixed interest

The interest rate in place when you open the account is fixed for the whole term, so it doesn’t apply if you withdraw funds early.

Option to reinvest

When the term is over you can withdraw your money or invest some or all of it for another term.

How do I manage my Term Deposit?
