Hi Debbie,


As of January 2024, the 5.15% rate is available on the 12-month term deposit. You need a minimum deposit of $5,000 to open an ME Bank term deposit.

Hi Ben,


The ME Term Deposit is for personal use only and must be opened by an individual. Instead, you should be able to open the ME Business Term Deposit which is available to companies, trusts, and associations.


Thanks,

Alison
