    How long is the 4.8% 9 month Term Interest available for ?

      Angus Kidman's headshotFinder
      AngusSeptember 18, 2024Finder

      CommBank says that the special term deposit offer of 4.80% for 9 months is available for a “limited time”, but hasn’t specified a cut-off date. Once you’ve opened a term deposit, the rate is locked in for the duration. Note that there are other term deposits around paying higher than this, so it’s worth comparing term deposit options before locking your money in. Hope this helps.

    with a $800.000 term deposit for 1 year how much can I earn

      Sarah Megginson's headshotFinder
      SarahAugust 9, 2024Finder

      Hi Petrenella,

      It depends if you meet the conditions of the bonus saver; if you do, you can earn 5.1% on a balance of up to $250,000. With a balance this high, your best bet might be to speak to CBA and see what your options are to spread your funds into different accounts and maximise your returns.

      Hope this helps!

    I have 4 commonwealth accounts ,award saver ,goal saver ,complete access and a master card diamond ,which account is best to set up a direct debit from to pay for my new Telstra phone and plan from for next 2 years

      Raj Lal's headshotFinder

      Hi Amanda,
      Thanks for contacting Finder.

      We can not advise you on how to set up your direct debit payments. There are pros and cons to paying with a transaction account, savings account or a Diamond Awards credit card. One of the benefits of using your Diamond Awards card to pay recurring bills is that you will earn points, or con of using a savings account means you will have less money for interest to be earned.

      I hope that helps.

      Thanks
      Raj
