Managing your Term Deposit

Learn how to manage your Term Deposit.

The start date of your Term Deposit will be the date when we first receive funds into the account.

A Term Deposit can be funded by transferring the investment amount into your Term Deposit account BSB and account number or via BPAY. 

The BSB number is 704-165 and registered to Indue Limited, our payment processor.

The BPAY biller code is 274795 and the customer reference number will be your Term Deposit account number. 

Once you deposit funds into your Term Deposit equivalent to the amount applied for, your Term Deposit becomes fully funded. 

You have seven calendar days from when your Term Deposit is opened to fully fund the Term Deposit. Banks have payment limits that restrict the amount of money you can transfer each day. If you need to transfer large amounts of money, it’s usually possible to temporarily increase this limit. Please contact your bank to discuss your options.

If your Term Deposit is not fully funded within seven calendar days, your account will be closed, and no interest will be paid by us on any monies received during this period. 

If you’d still like to go ahead with the Term Deposit, call us on 1300 221 479 Monday to Friday between 8.30 am – 4.30 pm EST/EDT to arrange for a new account to be opened (we can transfer any money already received into your new Term Deposit account).

We’ll start paying interest on your Term Deposit from when we first receive money deposited into your Term Deposit account.

We will only pay interest on the money deposited into your Term Deposit.

Once your Term Deposit has been fully funded, any money received above the original investment amount applied for will not receive interest.

You’ll earn interest on your Term Deposit account based on your daily closing balance (excluding the maturity date or date of early withdrawal).

The interest earned each day is equal to the daily closing balance multiplied by the annual percentage rate applied to your Term Deposit when we opened it, divided by the number of days in the year (365 days, or 366 days if the Term Deposit is held during a leap year).

Where your Term Deposit starts in a non-leap year and matures in a leap year (or vice-versa), the daily interest earned is calculated based on 365 days for the portion of the Term Deposit held within the non-leap year, and 366 days for the portion of the Term Deposit held within the leap year.

You can update the maturity instructions associated with your Term Deposit at any time, up until the day before the Term Deposit matures using Internet Banking or Mobile Banking. 
The maturity options include:

  • rolling over both the principal and interest amount
  • rolling over the principal amount and paying the interest to your account, or
  • payout both the principal and interest.

No, any money paid to your Term Deposit account during its term will not earn interest. 

If you’d like to top up your Term Deposit when it matures, you can request to do so by contacting us on 1300 221 479 Monday to Friday, between 8.30 am – 4.30 pm EST/EDT.
Requests must be received within seven calendar days after your Term Deposit maturing. 

If you've got extra money to invest, you can always open a new Term Deposit via Internet Banking or our app. Minimum investment amount of $25,000 applies to new customers, otherwise the minimum is $5,000​.

Yes. If you’d like to partially redeem your Term Deposit when it matures, you can request to do so by contacting us on 1300 221 479 Monday to Friday, between 8.30 am – 4.30 pm EST/EDT.

So that we can process your request in time, requests must be received by us at least two business days before your Term Deposit matures.

If we’re paying the money to an account held at another financial institution, we’ll require your request in writing, so please allow enough time for us to receive your written instructions. 

Yes, you can. For Term Deposits opened after 1 July 2021, or reinvested after 31 July 2021, we require written instructions by you with a minimum 31-day notice period.

If your request is received less than 31 days prior to the maturity date of your Term Deposit, we’ll close your account and transfer your funds on the maturity date.

Where the Term Deposit is redeemed early, a reduction will be applied to the amount of interest earned determined by the percentage of the term elapsed, as set out in the table below. An early break administration fee will also apply.

Term Deposit Table

 

Please contact us on 1300 221 479 if you're suffering financial hardship as we may allow withdrawal of funds on shorter notice.

It can take some time for us to move the payments to us. Some payment recipients won’t update payments until the next billing cycle. To avoid a payment failing or late fees, you should keep enough funds in your previous account to cover any payments until you’re sure the switch has occurred.  

The list of payments provided by your previous bank may not include one-off or regular payments, or include cancelled payment arrangements.

If you’d like us to help you switch payments complete the Payment Switching form, return it to us and we’ll get a list of regular payments and help you switch your direct debit or credit arrangements.

  • direct debit and credit arrangements  

Unfortunately, we can’t help you switch: 

  • regular BPAY transactions 

  • Internet Banking Pay anyone payments, or   

  • regular payments to and from debit and credit cards (contact the card provider or merchant to update these payments).
