Mozo snapshot

Good term deposits have good interest rates. It’s pretty simple. The Bank First Term Deposit offers interest rates as high as 4.00% p.a. for amounts of $500 or more for a 5-year term. It also comes with the option of having your interest paid into another bank account, as well as automatic rollover from one term deposit period to the next. And there’s no need to worry about fees, as there aren’t any.

Key features

The Bank First Term Deposit offers consistently competitive rates, depending on how much you deposit and how long you lock it away for.

Rates start at 4.00% p.a. for 2-5 year terms and range all the way up to 4.65% on a deposit of over $500 up to $1,000,000 for 1 year.

If you don’t want your interest gains confined to your Bank First bank account, then great news! You'll be able to have your interest paid out into an account of your choosing.

One thing to keep in mind is the automatic rollovers do apply to this term deposit offer. That means you should be sure to let Bank First know whether you want to reclaim your funds or have them roll over into a new term before the maturity date.

snapshot
Who is it good for

Term deposits are a low risk saving strategy, good for people who are interested in locking away some funds to make consistent and safe returns. This is no different with Bank First’s term deposit.

Any catches

If you do want to make an early withdrawal from the account, you can do so with 31 days notice, but this will lower your interest rate significantly for the rest of the agreed period and should be avoided if possible.
