Hi Alexia,


To clarify, are you asking if you can open a term deposit with MyState Bank as a non-resident? Unfortunately, you can only open an account if you are a permanent Australian resident.


Best,

Alison

Hi, what do I need to do to set up a 4 month term deposit with you?

Hi Christine,


Thanks for getting in touch!


To get started on doing a 4 month term deposit with MyState Online Term Deposit, start by checking the eligibility requirements as shown above. Note that a 4-month term deposit has an interest rate of 2.30% paid at maturity with a P5,000 minimum deposit.


As it says on our page, you can easily apply online in a matter of minutes. Once you have submitted your application and verified your identity, MyState will notify you regarding the success of your application. As soon as your money reaches MyState, the company will open your online term deposit account.


Hope this helps! For any further questions, feel free to reach out to us again, we’re here to help.


Best,

Nikki

Hi. I’m an overseas investor (non Australian). Is there any restriction for me to open a term deposit account with any of your recommended banks or financial institution?

Hi James,


Thanks for getting in touch!


There are different types of accounts for foreign investors to bridge the restriction. As it says on our offshore bank accounts review, each bank will have its own account opening process. With most, you are going to need to provide the following documents” National ID, passport, a bank statement from which the funds will be withdrawn, and a statement about the source of those funds and the purpose for setting up the account.


Hope this helps!


Best,

Nikki
