Overview

This 1-year term deposit pays 5.05% p.a., with interest paid quarterly. You can invest from $1,000 up to $2,000,000. As an Australian authorised deposit-taking institution, deposits are covered by the Government's Financial Claims Scheme up to $250,000 per person.

Who it suits

Savers who can set aside a lump sum for the full 1-year and want a guaranteed, fixed return.

Things to check

Your money is locked for the term; breaking early generally requires notice and reduces the interest you earn, and a fixed rate means you won't benefit if rates rise.
