How to apply

If the terms of AMP's account meet your savings style, visit the AMP website to complete an online application form. You can also talk directly with a financial adviser if you have any questions about the term deposit and how it can help with your future financial goals.

Eligibility

Before getting started, you should be aware of the eligibility requirements for this account:

Minimum age. Applicants should be at least 18 years of age.
Residency requirements. You must be a permanent Australian resident with a verifiable Australian residential address in order for your application to be considered.

Depository requirements. There is a minimum of $5,000 required in order for AMP to open a term deposit in your name.

Documentation needed

Additionally you will need to be able to provide the following documentation when sending your application to AMP Bank:

Tax file number. Providing AMP with your tax file number (TFN) or TFN exemption code is not mandatory, but it will help in ensuring that your withholding tax on interest earned is at the correct rate.
Identification. By Australian law, AMP is required to verify your identity prior to opening an account in your name. This can be done using your Australian driver's licence or passport.
Initial deposit. You can either send a check along with your application for the initial deposit, or provide AMP with an account number from which they can make an electronic withdrawal. If you are choosing direct debit you will have to send in a copy of an account statement that is not more than six months old and which contains the BSB, account number and account name.

What happens after I submit my application?

If you are an individual or sole trader, you can still complete the application process online. Once it has been received by AMP Bank the account will be opened after they have verified the identification documents you submitted and your initial deposit has cleared.

If you have various different term deposits of $250,000 each does the government guarantee them all.

Sarah Megginson Finder

September 04, 2023

Hi Michele,

According to APRA, deposits are protected up to a limit of $250,000 per account holder, per ADI (Authorised deposit-taking institution). To get the full benefit of the government guarantee, you could place your funds in different bank accounts with different banks, ensuring no more than $250k in each account.

Alison Banney Finder

Hi April,

Term deposits are one of the safest investment options available. Your deposit of up to $250,000 in a term deposit with an Australian bank is protected by the government’s bank guarantee scheme.

Thanks,

I want a monthly payout on a 24month term.

what is the interest rate.

what conditions, eg how much notice do you need if I have to access money

Alison Banney Finder

July 10, 2022

Hi Greg,

For a 24-month term deposit with a balance between $5k-$25k the current interest rate offered by AMP is 3.60% (as of 8 June 2022). For balances between $25k-$100k, the rate is 3.65%. Please note that these rates do change frequently.

You can choose to receive interest payments in months instead of at maturity however, the interest rate will be reduced by 0.20%.

You must provide 31 days’ notice if you wish to access your money before the term matures, and an internal rate adjustment will be applied by AMP.

Thanks,

Alison
