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.

Just set up a term deposit online. The process was very easy. The only hitch was they didn’t explain welcome letter would be posted even though I requested electronic communication which means you have to wait for it to get your account number to set up online access. I rang them and they were most helpful in providing the account number and stepping me through the setup for online access. A 20-minute wait on the phone but that is the same as all banks now. A very pleasant customer service person who was very patient and helpful.
