Hi Danny,


This particular account is for a personal account. BOQ offers term deposits for SMSF however they require you to contact them to set it up.


Additionally we also have a list of providers who offer SMSF term deposits here https://www.finder.com.au/self-managed-super-funds/smsf-term-deposit


Thanks

Raj

Are these rates available for a SMSF?

Hi Ron,


These rates are for personal customers only. If you’d like to open an account as an SMSF or Trust, you’ll need to phone the bank directly or head into a branch.


Thanks,

Alison

for the 12-month term deposit account, can I do an SMSF account with this rate 2.5%? How do I apply for an SMSF account?

Hi Janette,


The BoQ Term Deposit is for personal use only and cannot be opened by an SMSF, trust, or business. BoQ requires SMSF customers to visit a branch to discuss options for opening a term deposit account.


Hope this helps,

Alison

Do I need to have a BOQ account to open a term deposit? On maturity, can funds be transferred to an alternate bank?

Hi Graham,


There’s no mention that you would need a BOQ account to open a term deposit account. Upon maturity, you can transfer the fund to your nominated bank account.


If you wish to confirm, please get in touch with BOQ.

Regards,

Alison

Are term deposits of $250,000 per person at BOQ still government guaranteed as at May 2017.?

Hi Frank,


Thanks for your question.


Yes, BOQ term deposits are still covered by the Government Guarantee at the time of writing. You can verify BOQ’s deposit guarantee on their website or by calling them directly.


Cheers,

Liezl
