Frequently Asked Questions

How many Term Deposits can I have?

Share

During the initial account opening process you are only able to set up one Term Deposit, however, once you receive your Welcome Pack and PIN you are then able to login and create as many Term Deposits as you wish.

My funds haven't cleared. Can I still set up a Term Deposit?

Share

Yes. You can reserve a term deposit using uncleared funds providing the funds clear within three business days. The interest rate will be held and the term deposit will start once the funds clear. But don’t worry, if rates go up, we will honour the new rate. While the funds are clearing you will earn interest at our RaboSaver rate. 

If your transfer is dishonoured, the term deposit request will be cancelled and one of our friendly contact centre consultants will contact you.   




What if my tax rate changes during the Term Deposit?

Share
Tax will be deducted at your new tax rate when the next interest payment is made. For example, if you have a 6 month term deposit and change your tax rate part way through, tax will be deducted at your new rate when the interest is paid at maturity. It is not possible to deduct tax at two separate rates for one interest payment.

Can I add funds to a Term Deposit?

Share

Once the term deposit is set up, the details such as the amount, term and interest rate are locked in. You can always open additional term deposits with any balance of $1,000 or more.
