PIE Term Deposits

A PIE Term Deposit could have tax advantages for you. Usually you’d pay your regular income tax on interest earned on term deposits, which could be up to 39%. With a PIE, the maximum tax you’ll pay on the return you earn is 28%. Returns are payable at maturity.

PIE Term Deposits are required to have a minimum deposit balance of $10,000. * This is the effective rate that applies if you pay tax at the top marginal rate. Find out more.

Interim interest

For terms one year or longer, you can choose to have your interest paid out as a lump sum at the end of your term or paid monthly, quarterly, six-monthly or annually into your bank account. A great way to generate regular return from your investment. Interim interest isn't available on the one year PIE Term Deposit.

Interest rates are subject to change. The above rates are valid for investments of $1,000 to $5 million. If you're investing more than $5 million, please contact us for rates.

How Term Deposits work

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.

PIE Term Deposit

It works the same as a standard Term Deposit, but it could have tax advantages for you. Usually you’d pay your regular income tax on interest earned on savings accounts, which could be up to 39%. With a PIE, the maximum tax you’ll pay on the returns you earn is 28% – meaning you could keep more of your return in your pocket.
