Things you should know

Please note, the above penalty structure is applicable for term deposits invested from 19th December 2022. If your term deposit was invested prior to this please refer to your Certificate of Investment for information on the penalty for early redemption.

In some circumstances, where Monthly interest has already been paid could result in a reduction to the value of the original FTD deposit. If interest has been paid monthly or quarterly on a higher rate and part of the deposit is withdrawn, the interest previously paid will be recalculated at the reduced rate. The interest will be deducted from the interest payable at the time of withdrawal, or if this is not sufficient, from the principal at the time of withdrawal.

A minimum opening balance of $1,000 per deposit or $5,000 for monthly interest apply.

Interest shall accrue daily from the date of deposit to the maturity date.

Interest accruing on the deposit shall be paid either on maturity or monthly basis by:

  • adding it to your deposit (only available on interest on maturity deposits)
  • Transferring it to your savings account
  • Electronic transfer

Additional deposits to an existing term deposit account may only be made upon expiry of the current term.

If interest has been paid monthly on a higher rate and part of the deposit is withdrawn, the interest previously paid will be recalculated at the reduced rate. The interest will be deducted from the interest payable at the time of withdrawal, or if this is not sufficient, from the principal at the time of withdrawal.

Prior to maturity we will notify you of the current interest rates and terms being offered. At maturity you may nominate to have the principal renewed, transferred to a nominated account or sent by electronic transfer. If you do not nominate how the principal and/or interest are to be paid, we will reinvest the principal and/or interest for the same term as the original investment.
