At maturity

We offer a choice of options at maturity which you must provide to us via the Fixed Term Deposit Maturity Options Form, which you will receive 6 weeks before your Fixed Term Deposit matures. We’ll send you a reminder 2 weeks before your Fixed Term Deposit matures.

At maturity, if instructions have not been provided we’ll open a Term Maturity Account and transfer your maturing Fixed Term Deposit funds into it. You can see information on the current interest rate for the Term Maturity Account here.

The following options are available at maturity:

  • an instruction can be given to roll over the deposit, together with accrued interest, into a new Fixed Term Deposit at the then applicable rate;
  • the capital alone can be rolled-over into a new Fixed Term Deposit, with the accrued interest paid into a pre-nominated bank account;
  • both capital and accrued interest can be transferred into a pre-nominated bank account.

If we receive repayment instructions from you, your deposit will be sent by electronic transfer into a bank account in your name. A fee may be payable for this, please see our Banking Tariff for details.

All written instructions for maturing Fixed Term Deposits should be made using the Fixed Term Deposit Maturity Options Form.
