A Term Deposit can be funded by transferring the investment amount into your Term Deposit account BSB and account number or via BPAY.
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.
The start date of your Term Deposit will be the date when we first receive funds into the account.
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.
To open an account, you need to:
- be 14 years or older
- have an Australian mobile number and a valid email address
- have an Australian residential address, and
- be solely an Australian resident for taxation purposes.
You can also apply for an account with us if you’re a non-personal entity, such as a company, trust, or an association.
Interest is calculated daily and paid:
- at maturity (for terms up to 12 months)
- monthly or at maturity (for 12 month terms), or
- monthly or yearly (for 24, 36, 48 and 60 month terms).
