Things you should know
Customers must provide a minimum 31 days’ notice to access funds prior to maturity (except in cases of hardship). If the rate applying to your term deposit is a special or standard rate and your term deposit rolls over automatically, it may be automatically re-invested at a lower rate than the initial rate (including any initial special rate).
Term Deposits are ‘protected accounts’ under the Financial Claims Scheme (FCS). Payments under the FCS are subject to a limit for each depositor.
