Why choose a Suncorp Bank Term Deposit?

Low risk investment

A Term Deposit is a low risk investment because the rate at which you earn interest on a Term Deposit is fixed for the length of the term that you've chosen. Unlike other investment options which may be impacted by market fluctuations, you'll always know exactly how much you'll earn. Plus, your deposit funds are guaranteed by the Australian Government, subject to the limits as outlined in the Financial Claims Scheme^.

Your Term Deposit is guaranteed by the Australian Government.#

No set up or establishment fees

Plus, no ongoing account-keeping or transaction fees.

Easy to manage online

You can track and manage your Term Deposit in Suncorp Internet Banking and the Suncorp App.

Featured rates for deposits $100,000 - $999,999

Feel confident knowing your return on investment is guaranteed

A Term Deposit allows you to lock away an amount of money at a fixed interest rate for a nominated time period.

Your return on investment is guaranteed – this means you’ll know exactly what your investment is worth at the end of the term.

Flexible options let you customise your investment

  • You can invest between $5,000 - $1,999,999 (for investments over $2,000,000, please call us on 13 11 55 or visit a branch for a negotiated rate).
  • Choose a term that suits you with options from as little as one month up to five years.
  • Decide how your interest will be paid with options of monthly, quarterly, six monthly, yearly or at maturity depending on the length of your deposit.^
  • Decide what happens when your term deposit matures.
    You can: 
  • Automatically reinvest the original amount and interest for another term between 1 and 18 months (please be aware that interest rates may be different at time of reinvestment). 
  • Increase or decrease the original amount for another term.
    Or simply have the original amount plus interest earned paid into your Suncorp Bank account.
  • Invest in a Term Deposit as part of a Self Managed Super Fund.

Is a Term Deposit right for you?

Before you consider investing in a Term Deposit, you should consider whether there is a chance you may require immediate access to your funds in the future. Once you have invested in a Term Deposit, your funds are locked away for the Term you have chosen. Should you need to withdraw the funds from the Term Deposit before the end of the agreed term (break your Term Deposit) you must notify the Bank and you will not be able to access your funds until 31 days have passed from the first business day since you notified the Bank unless you are suffering financial hardship.

For information about accessing your term deposit funds early, view ‘Breaking Your Term’ within the Product Information Document.

If you give consent for your Term Deposit to be automatically reinvested by the Bank at the end of the term, please be aware that your investment will be reinvested at the then current interest rate applicable for the same Term, meaning the interest rate applied to your new investment could be lower than our current interest rates.
