Mozo snapshot

If you’re looking for a term deposit, you’re looking to lock away money as a low risk investment, but that doesn't mean you need to compromise on the rate you're getting. The ME Term Deposit offers a range of competitive rates as high as 4.85% for 9 month terms. It also has all the features you’d want in a term deposit, including automatic rollover, early withdrawal and the ability to pay interest into a different bank.

Key features

The main question with term deposits is usually, ‘what interest rate can I get?’ 

ME Bank offers up some pretty strong interest rates for term as short as 1 month all the way up to five years to help grow your savings stash. All you'll need is a deposit of at least $5,000 to get started.

At present, all terms will snag you a rate of at least 0.75%, but they go as high as 4.85% for a 9 month term. Just keep in mind that when you choose to have interest paid - there are options to have it paid monthly, annually or at maturity - may make a difference to the rate on offer.

If you are looking to make a withdrawal from your ME Term Deposit, you are able to do this with 31 days notice. However, like most term deposits, it’s important to note that this will reduce your interest rate for the remainder of the term period.

Also, there’s no need to worry about setting up another account and starting all over again if you’re keen on reinvesting your savings, as the term deposit will roll over automatically. Just make sure the rate you're getting is still up to scratch before you let it rollover.
