| I dislike the product. This will be my last Term Deposit with Ubank. Why? Because they have told me they will charge a 95 dollar admin fee if I withdraw my funds early even though I can't find this fee in their Terms & Conditions or on their web site. I am waiting for them to show it to me. Also there is a reasonable deduction based on changes in interest rates (if any) PLUS other unspecified costs ("other components" - what is this??) as explained by Jimmy from Ubank: Hello, Thank you for your message. Please be advised that the pre-payment cost to break a Term Deposit consists of two components: Variable component: As you outlined, this component can vary on every calendar day. Based on what the interest rate for the account is, what the interest rate for the term is at the time of request and what the cost of replacement for the funds are to the financial institution, amongst other components. Fixed component: A $95.00 administration cost, this is fixed. If the total calculated pre-payment cost is greater than the accrued interest, the whole interest earned will be deducted and the principal amount will be transferred. If the total cost is less than the accrued interest, the amount will be deducted and the remaining interest will be transferred with the principal. (truncated) Speak soon, Jimmy J.

| With the best interest rates. 24/7 phone access and 24/7 online backup and backed by the NAB and government fail safe promise why would anyone go any where else. Even my local NAB branch contact admits it is the best but cannot say that out too loud. Only small problem is when one tries to open a joint T/D account the security checks get a little overpowering even though a joint savings account is held with the same bank. Still better to be safe than sorry I suppose ! Reviewed 3 months ago |
