How it works
Set it up
Apply in a branch or call us if you’re an existing customer. Choose a term that suits you and transfer your chosen amount (minimum $5,000) into your term deposit.
At the end of the term
You have seven days’ grace period to decide what to do once your term deposit matures, and we'll remind you ten days before your grace period starts. If you do nothing by the end of your grace period, your funds will be reinvested at the same term at the rate applicable at the time of maturity.
If your situation changes
31 days' notice is required if you want to withdraw your funds before the maturity date. This can also affect the interest that we pay you. You can still access your money at maturity and during the grace period.
