    TD held as security
    Term Deposit (TD) held as security is a one-month rolling term deposit at an interest rate of 0.10% p.a. Your TD will automatically roll over each month for the duration of your loan variation period.

    No account-keeping fees apply to AMP Bank’s Term Deposits. Instead you will earn interest paid at interims you select or on maturity, depending on the term you choose for your term deposit. You may open as many term deposits as you like each with a different term or invested amount. You will receive your interest earnings at the end of the term or, if you would like to be paid more frequently, at a slightly lower rate on terms of one year or more. You can receive those earnings every month, every three months or every six months instead of annually. For example, here are the interest payment options on terms of one year or more:

    Interest rate payment frequency Interest rate conditions
    Every month Interest rates for monthly interest payments are 0.20% pa less than the standard rates above
    Every three month Interest rates for three-monthly interest payments are 0.10% pa less than the standard rates above
    Every six month Interest rates for six-monthly interest payments are 0.05% pa less than the standard rates above

    (i) Special Offer only. Other bonus margins cannot be applied to this rate.
    (ii) Only available where interest is paid electronically into a nominated account with AMP Bank or another financial institution and no bank cheque is issued. Where interest is paid annually, the first interest payment is made after 12 months and the second interest payment is made at maturity.
    (iii) Quarterly and half-yearly interest payment options are not available.
    (iv) These rates apply to Direct customers (those who have applied for the product directly through AMP Bank) only. If you acquired the product through an intermediary, please contact your intermediary for current interest rates. 
    (v) Not available for new applicants

    For full details, please read the Deposit products fees and charges guide.

    Term deposits in detail

    • How term deposits work

      If you’re planning a major business purchase or have received a lump sum of money you’re keen to put away, a term deposit might be suitable for you.

      It can be an ideal way to save for a specific goal, as it enables you to invest and get a guaranteed return based on the amount you invest and the interest rate on the day you open your term deposit until the day it matures.

      Leaving your money in a transaction account generally earns you little or no interest. You may also be tempted to spend it. Instead, consider putting those funds away for a set period of your choice that pays you a guaranteed return at the end.

      Whether you want to purchase a new asset for your business or have the peace of mind you have cash stored away for future opportunities, a term deposit could help you achieve your goals faster.

      It's important to think carefully when choosing your term duration as you need to provide 31 days' notice1 if you want to access the money earlier than the selected term2 (costs apply to break your term deposit early). If you choose to continue with your term deposit once it matures (rolling over), the interest rate on the day the roll-over occurs will apply, this may be  lower, the same as or higher than the interest rate from your initial term.

       

      1 Excludes AMP Super Funds.
      2 Interest adjustment applied when accessing funds earlier than the selected term.

    • Changes to interest adjustment for early withdrawal

      If a term deposit is withdrawn early, the interest rate that applies to your account will be reduced by the interest rate adjustments shown in the tables below.

      Early withdrawal for all customers except AMP Super Fund

      Portion of term completed Interest rate adjustment 
      (% reduction to your interest rate)
      Less than 20% 90%
      20% to less than 40% 80%
      40% to less than 60% 60%
      60% to less than 80% 40%
      80% or more 20%


      Early withdrawal for AMP Super Fund

      Portion of term completed Interest rate adjustment
      (reduction to your interest rate pa)
      Less than 25% 2.75% pa
      25% to 50% 2.25% pa
      50% to 75% 1.75% pa
      75% to 90% 1.25% pa
      90% or more 0.75% pa


      If the original interest rate, before any adjustment is made, is less that or equal to the applicable interest rate adjustment percentage, no interest will be paid.

      Full details of the changes are in the Deposit products fees and charges guide and the Deposit products terms and conditions. Please take the time to read the document at amp.com.au/bankterms.
