What are Bank term deposits?
Term deposits are money deposits that you make with a bank, with an agreement that you will be keeping your money in their hold for a specific period of time. They're called time deposits in the United States. Banks may either give you a specific term for the deposit or set a time to elapse before you may make withdrawals from your account.
You deposited funds earn interest, and this is what makes term deposits worth looking at as a financial instrument. Term deposit interest rates are definitely higher than those for passbook accounts. Most of the time, the peak interest rates are gained from one-year term deposits. However, term deposits lasting more than a year tend to get lower interest rates.
Australian banks offer fixed deposit terms lasting from one month up to five years. Most terms end within one year. Some banks may have a minimum required term deposit amount of A$ 500 to A$ 1000, while others waive this kind of policy.
