Term Deposits

"A fantastic way to increase growth"

$500 or $500,000 - earning a competitive rate for your business is easy...

We pay a competitive rate of interest on Term Deposits because you invest for a fixed term. Your interest rate is protected for that agreed term.

The Term Deposit you select and the interest rate you receive will depend on the amount of money you wish to invest (the principal); the length of time you wish to invest it for (the term) and when and how you want the interest paid.
