RBA cash rate hikes a winner for term deposit holders
With interest rates the highest they've been since 2012, term deposits are back with a roar and proving to be one of the easiest and most secure ways for Aussies to get a decent return on their money. Yet a large proportion of people (48%) have never heard of them, or if they have, ever considered getting one.A recent Mozo survey* found that only 7% of people are currently a term deposit customer despite the fact that interest rates on term deposits can be almost 4 times higher than the average ongoing non-conditional rate of a savings account, which is currently sitting at a miserly 1.30%^.Peter Marshall, Mozo’s banking expert, says that the idea that term deposits are an outdated savings option is completely false. He points out that many term deposits are less restrictive than high interest savings accounts, are easy to set up and manage 100% online and can be fine-tuned to meet your savings goals.“One of the biggest added benefits of a term deposit is that you are guaranteed a fixed rate of return,” he said. “Savings account rates are variable and while this can work in your favour, there are often a lot of hoops to jump through if you want to get the maximum rate and this isn’t always easy. ” So if you are considering where to park your cash, it might be a good time to reconsider taking out a term deposit. Here are the Mozo money editor’s top picks for this month.
