About Term Deposits

  • A term deposit locks your money away for a fixed period at a fixed rate.
  • Rates are generally higher for longer terms (but not always).
  • Most are covered by the Depositor Compensation Scheme (up to $100,000).
  • Consider a PIE term deposit if you're in a 30%+ tax bracket.
