Have you been looking for a term deposit, but unsure which one will work for you? Here at Mozo we have a full A-Z of all the term deposit providers available on our database.
Term deposits are, in essence, a place to park your savings for a set period of time. Usually, the longer you decide to put your deposit away for, the higher the interest rate will be on your deposit.
There are instances where you might not take out a term deposit. For instance, if you were living paycheck to paycheck, term deposits are relatively illiquid and require at least 31 days notice for early withdrawals. This is in comparison to savings accounts where you can usually withdraw money, though some will penalise your interest rate for the month or charge an extra fee.
So, who are term deposits useful for? Well, if you didn’t trust yourself with your savings and wanted to lock them away for a set period of time with relatively good interest rates then a term deposit can work well.
