What’s the benefit of having interest paid monthly?

You can now choose to have your interest paid monthly on all our Term Deposits. This provides you with a regular income combined with the security of a guaranteed interest rate for the length of your term. The total interest you’ll earn won't change, no matter what payment frequency you choose.

How a Term Deposit works

Choose a term that suits your needs (from 1 month to 5 years)

Lock your money away and earn a fixed rate of interest - that means you'll know exactly what your return will be

At maturity you can renew for another term, top up before renewing or cash in

What’s the difference between a term deposit and a savings account?

A term deposit lets you lock your money away for a set length of time at a guaranteed interest rate, whereas a savings account gives you access to your money at any time but has an interest rate that can change.
