A term deposit is a safe, high interest bearing account which allows you to invest your money in short or long fixed terms. It generally pays higher interest than a savings account because the funds are fixed for the term you nominate (3, 6, 9, 12, 24 & 36 months).

Interest for 3, 6, and 9 month term deposits is paid upon maturity, whereas interest for 12, 24 & 36 month term deposits is paid every 6 months. Your interest can be paid to you by cheque, deposited into your account or compounded and reinvested upon maturity.

Maturity Notice

A notice of maturity will be sent to you to let you know your deposit is nearing its maturity date. Unless you advise us otherwise, your term deposit will automatically be reinvested on maturity.
