Key features

No fees

Pay no fees to open a Macquarie Bank Term Deposit and pay no monthly account keeping fees.

Terms from 1 month to 5 years

Choose terms ranging from as little as one month to five years. Typically, the longer you lock your money away the more competitive the interest rate is.

Tiered interest rates up to 4.85% p.a.

A 1-month term deposit gets a rate of 2.1% p.a., and the interest rate gradually increases with the investment term. If you opt for a 1-year term deposit you'll lock in a fixed interest rate of 4.85% p.a.

Choose when to receive interest

Choose between receiving your interest payments every month, quarter, half-yearly, annually or when the term deposit matures. The type of interest payment you can opt to receive depends on the term deposit period. Interest can be paid to a nominated bank account or reinvested back into the term deposit.

Automatic roll-over at maturity

Your investment is automatically renewed by Macquarie Bank at the end of your term unless you contact the bank to state otherwise. The new term deposit rate may be lower or higher than the rate offered on your first investment. You're able to make changes to your account for five days after your funds have rolled over to a new term deposit; this is known as the "grace period".

Minimum deposit of $5,000

The minimum deposit is $5,000 and the maximum deposit is $999,999.

Direct debit available

You can deposit funds into the Macquarie Bank Term Deposit by direct debit from an account held with Macquarie Bank or another financial institution.

31-day notice period for withdrawals

You cannot withdraw the money to a third party account and the funds cannot be issued as a cheque. You must provide 31 days' notice to Macquarie Bank if you want to withdraw your money before the investment matures. If you wish to close your account before it matures, you may be liable to pay interest charges to Macquarie Bank (interest adjustment).

Online access

View your term deposit balance online by registering for the Macquarie Bank Internet banking facility, or via mobile banking using the Macquarie Bank mobile app.

Receive regular statements

Term deposit statements are issued every six months. You will also receive a statement at term deposit maturity. Your statement outlines details of your investment including the balance of the account and account transactions.

Availability

You can apply for this account in your own name, as a joint application or you can open this investment in the name of a business or trust.

Government guarantee

Deposits up to $250,000 are guaranteed by the government.
