Key features

BankVic’s term deposit offering is available to members of the mutual bank in Victoria. Emergency service workers including police officers, ambulance workers, fire service workers, health professionals, life guards and public servants can become a member of BankVic. Friends and family members of existing members can also sign up to become a member.

For existing members and future eligible ones, BankVic offers terms from as short as three months to as long as five years. 

Score a 3.70% p.a. interest rate on loan terms of  5, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 months. Lock in your term deposit for a 4 month term to get a 4.00% p.a. interest rate, and a 6 month term deposit will earn you 4.80% p.a. interest rate. Terms between 18 and 60 months will all accrue interest at 4.50% p.a. 

Deposits from as little as $5,000 to as much as $10 million can be made into a BankVic term. BankVic does not charge an account keeping fee for the term. However, there may be a penalty for withdrawing early - that is if early withdrawal is granted. In instances where BankVic allows withdrawal before maturity, the mutual bank may reduce the interest rate. 

One week before maturity, BankVic will send a reminder that the term is due to end. If you do not get in contact before the term matures, BankVic will roll the money over into another term for the same length of time. Just beware that if this does happen, there is a chance the interest rate will be lower than the previous term’s rate. 

Finally, BankVic is one of a handful of financial providers in Australia to have achieved a B Corp certification. This certification assesses companies on environmental, social and governance factors. In other words, what kind of impact the business has on the planet and people. So if you’re after a more socially conscious bank, this mutual bank could be worth considering.

Any catches

There are restrictions as to who can become a BankVic member, so you're out of luck if you don't fulfil the membership requirements. It should also be noted that BankVic does not generally allow early withdrawals.
