With transactions that are free from any fees, your savings will grow faster than you hoped for.

Pros

  • Highly competitive interest rate
  • Interest calculated daily
  • Terms from 1 month to 5 years available

Hi Tony,


Thank you for reaching out to finder.


After the maturity date of your term deposit, you have the option to renew your term deposit with your current bank or opt to withdraw everything and transfer it to another bank depending on your choice. Hope this helps!


Cheers,

Reggie
