      Hi Jason,

      Bonus Saver Accounts are restricted to a maximum of two accounts per member. If you would like to earn high interest on all of your money, you could spread it across a range of accounts – you can review some of your options here.

      Hope this helps!

    I have a $45,000 term deposit due to mature 0n 7 January 2019. I received 3% interest with Westpac for this deposit based on 8 months duration. Should I rollover or is there a better rate another institution could give me?

      Hi Jane,

      Thanks for reaching out.

      If you wish to compare the interest earnings with other term deposit products versus your current rate with Westpac, that would surely help you decide. You can use our comparison table to help you find the account that suits you. To be able to know your interest earnings, just use the calculator on top of the table on that page and enter your deposit amount and term of investment then click calculate. So for instance, we’ll use $45,000 for the deposit and 9 months (no 8-month option) for the term. Based on the results, the following are the top-earning brands:

      1. ME Term Deposit = $945.00
      2. RACQ Bank Term Deposit = $928.13
      3. AMP Term Deposit $25,000+ = $928.13

      You may want to visit the official site of the bank so you can open the account from there. Best to check and review the T&Cs and PDS of the account first before considering it’s the right product for you.

      I hope that helps.

      Cheers,
      May
