How it works

  • Lock in a fixed return

    Enjoy a fixed return on terms ranging from 30 days to five years. Your interest rate is fixed for the length of the term you choose.

  • Cap maximum tax rate with a PIE term deposit

    A PIE Term Deposit could have tax advantages for you. With a PIE the maximum tax you'll pay on the return you earn is 28%. PIE Term Deposits at Kiwibank are available for terms up to 12 months. Returns are payable at maturity and interim interest isn't available for PIE Term Deposits.

  • Choose when you get your interest paid

    When you invest in a Term Deposit for a year or longer, you can choose to have your interest paid monthly, quarterly, annually or at maturity.

  • Choose your investment amount

    Invest from $1,000 to $5 million. For investments above $5 million please contact us for rates. Minimum investment amount for a PIE Term Deposit is $10,000.

  • Withdraw early if needed

    We have a simple policy for breaking a Term Deposit — just give us a call or visit us in branch. You'll have an early termination charge applied if you withdraw your money early.

Is a Term Deposit right for you?

A Term Deposit offers a fixed return for a set period. However, you should consider if you’ll need your money before the maturity date as early termination charges may apply. If you think you'll need the money early, one of our savings accounts may be more suitable.
