‍This term deposit is great for:
When you’re saving for a car, a wedding or something that’s a few years away. For those that are retired, it's also commonly used to safely grow money that you'd like to use in a few years.

How it works:
Deposit your money for a set amount of time and earn interest. Generally, non-redeemable term deposits pay higher interest rates than redeemable terms, as your funds are locked-in and only redeemable at maturity at the end of the term.

The term deposit will automatically renew at maturity unless specified otherwise.

Ask the pros.

Our pros with some advice on this term deposit.

Should I get a redeemable term deposit or a non-redeemable one?

Think about whether you'll need to use the money during the investment period. If you can commit to leaving it untouched, non-redeemable will give you a better rate. If you're unsure, you can also split your investment and put some in each.

What if I want to invest longer?

Mutual funds* introduce risk but could potentially earn more than term deposits if you're investing longer than 5 years. The best portfolios include a mix of investments so you can get potentially higher returns and the access you need. Let's chat! Our professional advice is always free.

How do I withdraw from my term deposit?

To withdraw from a term deposit, please call us, visit a branch or send us a secure message in Online Banking with your request.

Term deposits have different conditions around withdrawing before maturity which will affect the interest you earn.

Non-redeemable term deposits cannot be withdrawn before maturity.
