What is a term deposit?

A term deposit is a type of savings account with a known interest rate over a fixed period of time. In other words, you’re locking away your savings (typically 1 month to 5 years) and benefiting from the interest earned.

If you withdraw funds prior to the maturity date, you may incur fees and a reduction in the interest earned. You may also need to provide notice if you wish to withdraw your funds prior to the maturity date for some types of term deposits.

What is a term deposit?

If you’re looking for a way to grow your savings over a set period, a term deposit could be just the answer.

Term deposits allow you to enjoy a known rate of return for a fixed period of time, usually from one month to five years.

How do term deposits work?

First, you’ll need to decide how much you're going to invest, with a minimum deposit of $5,000.

For how long…

How often you want to receive interest payments…

And lastly, what to do at the term's end: withdraw the balance of the term deposit or roll it over.

What are the differences between a term deposit and a savings account?

Let's explore some of the differences between these accounts:

Interest Rates

While savings account interest rates can fluctuate with market conditions, term deposits provide a fixed interest rate for a set period of time, ensuring you know exactly how much you'll earn and for how long.

Time Frame

Savings accounts generally have no fixed time frame, but most term deposits require a commitment to a specific period until maturity.

Associated Fees

Term deposits typically have no account service fees unless you withdraw your funds prior to maturity. Savings accounts, on the other hand, often have service fees or transaction fees. If the savings account pays bonus interest, incurring fees and charges could also disqualify you from earning bonus interest so it's important to research your options carefully and read the product terms and conditions before deciding whether to open the account.

Access to Funds

For term deposits, if you withdraw funds prior to the maturity date, you may incur fees and a reduction in the interest earned. You may also need to provide notice if you wish to withdraw your funds prior to the maturity date for some types of term deposits. You can usually access your funds in a savings account at any time.

Just remember that making withdrawals or incurring any fees or charges on a savings account could disqualify you from earning bonus interest - so be sure to read the product terms and conditions.

Adding Funds

Most banks allow you to add funds to your savings account anytime. For term deposits, additional deposits generally aren't allowed during the term.

What is an ANZ Advance Notice Term Deposit?

A little different from other term deposits, the ANZ Advance Notice Term Deposit allows you to earn a higher interest rate in return for providing 31 days’ advance notice if you want to withdraw funds before the end of the term. It’s a great way to make those funds you don’t need to access on short notice, work even harder. But keep in mind fees and charges will apply for early withdrawals and the account will incur an interest reduction in respect of the money withdrawn or transferred early. Please refer to the ANZ Saving & Transaction Products Terms and Conditions for further information.

A term deposit is a savings account where:

Your money is invested over a fixed period of time. This is known as the ‘term’ and will generally last somewhere between 1 month to 5 years.
Interest rates are locked in for your chosen term and will not change.
If you withdraw funds prior to the maturity date, you may incur fees and a reduction in the interest earned. You may also need to provide notice if you wish to withdraw your funds prior to the maturity date for some types of term deposits.

What are the main benefits of a term deposit?

Protection against interest rate changes in the market. (Of course market rates can go up as well as down.)
If you find yourself dipping into your savings often, this could be a good way to make your money less accessible.
Term deposits offers a competitive fixed interest rates for your chosen investment term.
Generally you will not have to pay start up, ongoing or annual account keeping fees.

What are some of the risks of term deposits?

You will not be able to readily access your money during the term invested.
If you wish to access your money before the term ends you will have to pay an administration fee, miss out on interest which you would otherwise earn and you may need to provide 31 days’ notice depending on the type of term deposit.
If market interest rates increase while your money is in a term deposit you could miss out on the higher interest rates during the term.

What are the associated fees and charges for an early break?

The early withdrawal or transfer of your funds will incur an interest reduction, and an administration fee will be applicable. See ANZ Saving & Transaction Products Terms and Conditions (PDF) for more information about ANZ’s fees and charges.

What are my options when a term deposit matures?

There are usually a few options you can take when your term deposit matures. Make sure to think about this well in advance before the term ends.

Roll over – you can usually choose to have your term deposit automatically reinvested so that you do not need to come into the bank each time. Compare what rates are being offered for other term deposit products to see if you would like to change your investment.
Reinvest elsewhere - you could withdraw at maturity to reinvest elsewhere.
Withdraw and use.

If you do not wish your term deposit to be automatically reinvested, make sure you contact ANZ either before or during the ‘grace period’ following the maturity of your term deposit. The grace period is a period of seven days starting on the day after the maturity date in which you can choose to withdraw some or all of the value of your term deposit, change the term and/or top up your term deposit.
