Our term deposit rates apply to the first $5 million of total deposits you hold with us. If you're investing more than this, please contact us. The interest rate for a term deposit is fixed for the length of the term you choose. This means it'll stay the same for the duration of your investment.

*If you pay tax at the top marginal rate.

The effective rate takes into account the potential tax rate savings relative to interest earned on a direct investment that would otherwise be assessed at the top marginal tax rate (which is higher than the maximum tax rate on PIE returns). The effective rate may vary depending on the investor's personal taxation position. Not available to financial institutions. The rate of return for a PIE Term Deposit is fixed for the length of the term you choose. This means it'll stay the same for the duration of your investment.

PIE Term Deposits are required to have a minimum deposit balance of $10,000. Download PIE Term Deposit Terms and Conditions.

Not available to financial institutions. The rate of return for Notice Saver can change at any time and without notice. This means the rate might go up or down during your investment.

Early withdrawal or termination charges

There are no transaction fees on our Term Deposit, PIE Term Deposit or Notice Saver accounts. However early withdrawal or termination charges may apply as follows:

Term Deposit early termination charge

If you need to break your term deposit early a charge may apply to the interest you'll receive on the amount you want to withdraw. The charge is a reduction to the interest you’ll receive on the amount you want to withdraw early.

The interest rate you'll receive on the money you withdraw early will be the lower of:

  • The advertised rate on the day your application to break is approved, for the number of days the money was actually invested, less 2%; or
  • The advertised rate on the day the term deposit was opened, for the number of days the money was actually invested, less 2%.

Visit our breaking a term deposit early page for more details.

PIE Term Deposit early termination charge

You can't break your PIE Term Deposit within the first 30 days. After the first 30 days, if we agree to break the PIE Term Deposit:

  • The amount you can withdraw must be at least $500; and
  • You must either maintain a minimum balance of $10,000 or withdraw all of your balance.

If you break a PIE Term Deposit, an early termination charge may apply. The charge is a reduction to the return payable to you on the amount you want to withdraw early.

The rate of return that'll be applied to the amount of money you want to withdraw will be your original rate of return less 2%, while the return payable to you will be calculated using the following formula:

Reduced return to be paid = amount to be withdrawn × (days invested ÷ 365) × (original rate of return − 2%) where the original rate of return is the rate of return we agreed when you invested.

Visit our breaking a term deposit early page for more details.

Notice Saver immediate withdrawal charge

When you request an immediate withdrawal of part or all of your money from Notice Saver without giving the required notice.

The amount of the charge varies depending on the amount being withdrawn, the current rate of return for your Notice Saver and the length of the required notice period.

The immediate withdrawal charge is based on the lesser of:

  • the amount withdrawn multiplied by the current rate of return divided by the number of days in the year. This is then multiplied by the notice period;
  • the interest earned and accrued over the previous period equivalent to the notice period.
