Term Deposit Reviews



I love the fact that your term deposits are available for small time investors like me. $1000 is a lot easier for me to find and invest than $5000 or $10,000. It may not seem much to the big boys, but it makes it exciting for me to be able to say that I have my money invested.

Great way to keep your other banks perks without the average interest rate.

Reviewer:Michael McCarroll

Great to see a Bank that gives it benefits to its customers and not just to its own bottom line. Consistently the best on-call savings interest rate. Well Done RaboDirect!

Cash Fund Reviews



Mike, the other advantage over a traditional on call savings account that many forget, is that the interest is compounding DAILY rather than monthly - so even if you are on a 19.5% tax rate there are still significant savings with your significant other!
