Help for your Term Deposit

You can open a BCU Bank term deposit with just $1,000 and invest up to $1 million.

Up to $250,000 of your total deposit is protected by the government’s Financial Claims Scheme.

You can add money to your term deposit on the day you open the account, or when it matures if you choose to roll over your investment.

You can manage your maturity instructions, including adding new funds to the account in internet banking or the BCU Bank mobile app.

If you already have a transaction or savings account with us, you can log in to internet banking or the BCU Bank mobile app and open up a Standard Term Deposit online in a matter of minutes.

To open a Regular Income Term Deposit or a term deposit for over 55s, you can contact us via secure mail, call us on 1300 228 228 or visit your nearest branch.

New customer?

If you’re new to BCU Bank, you can easily open a transaction or savings account online to receive your funds, which is quick and easy. Once your funds have landed in your account, you can open a term deposit using internet banking or the BCU Bank mobile app. 

Open a term deposit online

You can close your term deposit account early at any time, but doing so will likely affect the amount of interest you receive.

Further information is available in our Term Deposit Account Terms & Conditions.

At the time of opening your term deposit account, you set instructions for what you want us to do with your deposit and interest when it matures. 

When your term deposit is due to mature you can explore your options to: 

• add some funds to your term deposit,
• transfer funds to another nominated account, 
• renew your term deposit for a new term, 
• change your interest payment instructions, or
• a combination of these options.

You can also choose to leave your money – and the interest you've earned – in the same term deposit (it’s what we call a rollover).

Your instructions can be provided any time up to your term deposit maturity date, or within the seven-day grace period following the account maturity.
