A year might seem like a very long time but rest assured, if you've done your homework, investing in a 12 month term deposit can work in your favour to maximise your wealth. A term deposit is where the interest rate is guaranteed not to change therefore your savings grow over the year. If you have a long term savings goal perhaps for a house or an overseas holiday, a 12 month term deposit is a good way to achieve those financial ambitions.
Locking your savings away for a whole year may seem a little daunting, as a lot can happen in 12 months with the market and your personal financial situation. So take the time to consider the following features before taking the leap into the world of term deposits.
If you shop around, you can generally find a higher interest rate with twelve month term deposits. While the rates on offer for a twelve month term deposit may not be quite as high as what is offered with a five year term deposit, you will, more often than not, be able to find a rate higher than what is offered with a shorter, three or six month term. So it's really up to you and your individual needs, as to whether you want to opt for a shorter term deposit with a lower interest rate, where you can access your funds sooner, or a longer term deposit where your money will be locked away for a considerable period of time, but will most probably benefit from a higher interest rate. Check out Mozo's Term Deposits Interest Rates information page for more information on term deposit rates available right now.
Do you have a large amount of cash you're not sure what to do with? Are you someone that doesn't like taking risks and would rather take a conservative approach when it comes to money? If so, a 1 year term deposit may just suit you and your savings.
Fair enough though if you feel a little scared at the thought of opening up a one year term deposit, especially given you can't access the funds over the term without penalties. So it's important to do a budget that ensures you can survive a year without the funds in your term deposit. Also make sure you have an emergency stash of cash to avoid penalties for dipping into the deposit before maturity.
Crunch some numbers in the Mozo savings goal calculator.
Interest can be paid monthly, quarterly, bi-annually, annually or on maturity. Discuss the options with your bank.
Usually via direct credit into your nominated account. In some cases the financial institution that holds your term deposit may pay the interest to another bank of your choice.
As many as you like, there's no limit.
A minimum of $1000.
It's free!
The financial institution can debit funds directly from your nominated bank account or you can transfer funds into a new term deposit
In most cases, the beauty of the online world allows you to open a term deposit with the click of a few buttons but you may have to visit branch
You can't make additional deposits until the term has ended
Yes but it will come at a cost! Do everything you can to avoid the early withdrawal penalty.
The Australian Government guarantees term deposits of up to $250,000 with Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions (ADIs) such as your bank, credit union or building society. So your pennies up to this amount are safe if anything unexpected happens to your ADI.
Withdrawal your money and go on a shopping spree, rollover your funds for another term or reinvest your funds once you've found a higher interest rate.
After failing to secure a account online, I emailed customer services, they were unhelpful and blunt.... you MUST have a mobile phone.... I do not need or own a mobile phone I am computer savvy and use a PC for all my services and transactions since 1985. Before your precious cell phones existed. A secure fire wall protects me on my PC, nothing protects your data on a cell phone and the airwaves. As the advertised interest rate was the best available I eventually decided to obtain a "smart phone" (even though it was mainly useless to me (deaf)) and try to invest a $250,000 parcel with this so called bank for a couple of years..... Again this was a BIG fail as online services failed on 2 occasions to recognise my CORRECT data of licence and medicare values . I at this point paused the input and this was yesterday. Today I am writing this review in hope that enough people will read it to GET THE WARNING... stay away from this institution, do NOT believe in the false ratings of CANSTAR they have to be on their payroll..... It is too obvious that they want your details to try to hack your original bank accounts or worse.... your identity... - Be warned. They will not be getting my investment.

Not just this bank but all banks as far as interest on principal is concerned. All my life I have paid interest on mortgages ect at rates far in excees of interest rates now. Now when I need to live on my interest on my term deposits I can't. The Reserve Bank is bowing to pressure from Government and the new generations coming through to support their high-end like styles and bugger the rest. All this 'must have now' attitude is killing this country. We had to scrimp and save to buy things that the generation now are not prepared to wait and save for. Way things are going it is making it so easy for countries like Chine to come in and take over our country without the majority of people realising it. As hard as it was liveing through the higher interest rate periods I still think I and oy=thers of my age lived through the best of times and i feel sorry for the people who will wake up with huge debts when interest rates eventuall go up again albeit though not in my life time. So I dislike all the major banks as they are the main cause of our prblems now.

The bank is doing great in its customer service with great efficiency and communication. I highly recommend the employees called Joe (maybe I spell wrongly) and Alexander.
