Mozo snapshot:
If you’re looking into securing your cash away in a term deposit, you’ll be after an account with competitive interest rates, and the RaboDirect Term Deposit does just that. The maximum rate is 3.20% and users are able to choose to have their interest paid on a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly basis. The account was also named a winner in the 2019 Mozo Experts Choice Awards in the Term Deposits category, making it a worthy contender for reaching your savings goals.
Key features:
Searching for an account that gives you a secure return on your savings? The RaboDirect Term Deposit offers competitive interest rates on a range of terms from one month to five years on investments between $1,000 and $2,000,000.
For a six month term on balances between $1,000 and $2,000,000 you’ll be able to earn a 2.85% interest rate. For a four year term, you’ll earn an interest rate of 3.00% and for a five year term, you’ll recieve an interest rate of 3.20%. And best of all, if you automatically reinvest your term deposit into a new one when it reaches the maturity stage, an extra 0.10% interest is added for your loyalty.
When it comes to interest RaboDirect provides flexibility, giving their users the choice to have their interest payments paid monthly, quarterly, bi-annually, annually and at maturity. Just keep in mind that there is a 31 day notice requirement for the withdrawal of any funds from the term deposit, otherwise the earliest you may be able to obtain the funds is at the maturity stage. Also, money will be automatically rolled into a new account for the same terms if you fail to give RaboDirect one business day notice before reinvesting your deposit into new terms.
Who it's good for:
The RaboDirect Term Deposit is a great choice for savers with a minimum balance of $1,000 ready to store away and who won’t be tempted to withdraw it early.
Any catches?
Just keep in mind that there is a 31 day notice requirement for the withdrawal of any funds from the term deposit.

I did my research into banks, with my criteria being a competitive interest, easy access to my money and most of all a bank that was safe and reliable in times of economic uncertainty. As Rabobank mainly deals with agricultural business loans, it seems a very safe, secure option for term deposits. I found Rabobank met my criteria. Although the only con was that their interest rate on offer at the time wasn't the highest around, but was still fairly competitive, however I overlooked that for the banks security. Also I didn't want to tie up my investment for any length on time, and wanted it available at short notice. Rabobank offers this option too, and make it very simple. I was also impressed by the banks security consciousness, giving a free token code for added online security for accounts, as I have had to pay extra for these from other banks. I was impressed with the friendliness and level of personal service given and the bonus of very minimal waiting time, not surprising as it's not one of the major mainstream banks. Would definitely recommend it as one of the best banks around for anyone looking at Term Deposit options.

Some of the Rabo Direct rates are OK - but their service and ease of use is absolutely appalling. Many other financial institutions will look after your needs better than Rabo.
