We realise that sometimes you might need to access some or all of your money from a Term Deposit or PIE Term Deposit before the term is up. An early termination charge may be charged and you'll be paid a lower interest rate on the money you take out (excludes Access Term Deposit).
If you need some or all of your money before your term is up, you’ll have to make a formal application to break the deposit early because you’re breaking the contract you made with us.
There are no account management or transaction fees, however early termination charges apply if you break your standard or PIE Term Deposit early.

Term Deposit rates change depending on the amount you’ve invested. If you break some of your investment, it might drop the remaining deposit to a lower tier — which means you’ll earn a lower interest rate for the rest of your deposit.
If you have a Term Deposit of two years or more, you can access a portion (up to 20%) of your initial investment at any time without reducing the interest you will receive on that portion.
We'll need to verify your identity to ensure the safety of your funds first. Your Term Deposit can only be broken to a New Zealand Bank account.
