Term Deposits
OverviewHow to ApplyInvestment Statement
Enjoy the certainty of a fixed return at a competitive
interest rate.
-
Your interest rate is locked-in for a specified term, regardless
of movements in the market - so you know exactly what your
return will be.
-
You earn a higher interest rate than you'd normally receive from
a regular savings account.
-
It's a straightforward, easy to understand investment, ideal for
temporary cash surpluses or money earmarked for a specific
purpose.
Terms range from 30 days to five years (for deposits under $5,000 the minimum term is 90 days). Competitive interest rates are based on the amount and term of your investment.
Interest is calculated daily and added to your investment when
it matures (or six-monthly for terms of 12 months or more,
unless special terms and conditions apply). Other frequencies
are available on request.
We will advise you when your Term Deposit is due to mature.
On maturity you can:
- Have the principal plus interest paid to any nominated New
Zealand bank account, or
- Re-invest the whole amount for another term.
