Business term deposits are exclusive to: Sole Traders, Corporates (including Corporate Trustees), Individual Trustees, Partnerships, Incorporated Associations (not-for-profits organisations and clubs).

Gross rate of interest before deduction of government earnings tax.

Interest is calculated on the daily balance. Interest is paid on the date of maturity. Where terms exceed 12 months, interest is capitalised annually. Interest payable in respect of the last 12 months or part thereof is added to the balance at maturity.

Unless advised otherwise, the interest earned on your Term Deposit will be re-invested with your principal deposit. If the same term is no longer available, then the re-investment will be for the published term closest to the original term.

Our term deposits are part of the Government Deposit Guarantee (Financial Claims Scheme).

While interest rates for new term deposits may change during your term, this will never affect a deposit that is part way through its term. That rate is locked in for the agreed amount of months.
