Hi Michelle,
Thanks for leaving an inquiry about CUA Term Deposit on our page. When you open a CUA Term Deposit, you don’t need to set up an everyday transaction with no monthly account keeping fees or an application fee, your savings won’t be reduced by unnecessary costs.
As a friendly reminder, review the eligibility criteria, fees, interest rates, and terms & conditions of this account before applying. You may also contact the bank should you have any questions about their product.
Best,
Nikki

Hi Bill,
Thanks for your inquiry
The page above states that for term deposits of two years or less, an early withdrawal will only be allowed at the discretion of CUA. If approved, adjustments will be made in the interest rate to reflect the change in terms. For term deposits greater than two years, your funds are available to you when needed with no penalty or interest reduction.
Hope this information helps
Cheers,
Arnold

Just renewed $250,000 term deposit for 12 months at a rate of @.70%. According to the above the rate is 2.60% for 12 months. However, being a platinum member with an investment for 12 months the rate should be 2.75%. Is this correct?

Hello Bob!
Thanks for the inquiry! :)
For Platinum Plus Members (55+), 1 year Rate with interest on maturity / annually is 2.70%. You can visit their website and look for CUA Term Deposit Rates.
Hope this clarifies.
