MANAGE YOUR BUSINESS TERM DEPOSIT ONLINE
What can I do online?
Accounts can be managed online or in the app 8am to 9.30pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 4pm Saturdays (Sydney).
If you’re a Business Network Administrator, sign into Online Banking to give users access to manage your Term Deposit accounts.

Before maturity
- Opt-in to get notified via email and your Online Banking Message Centre when your Term Deposit is maturing
- Set up renewal or withdrawal instructions in advance online, then update them whenever you want to.

After maturity
- You have 6 business days (called the Variation Period) to provide your instructions.
- If none are received, your Term Deposit will be renewed for another term of the same length, which may be at a lower interest rate.
What are the options when my Business Term Deposit matures?

Open a new Term Deposit
Sign into Online Banking or the Westpac App to check interest rates and offers – then renew your account on the spot.

Take out some of your funds
Withdraw the funds you need and invest the rest at a new rate for a new term that matches your business cycle.

Take out all your funds
If you want access to your savings for business needs, transfer the funds into any eligible account.
- If your Business Term Deposit is held as security against a loan, it can only be closed once security is no longer required.
- If you wish to access funds prior to maturity, you must provide at least 31 days' notice (except in cases of hardship) and early withdrawal may reduce returns.
