Award notes.
Money magazine, Money Minder of the Year is awarded to the provider most likely to have an account that delivers value for money across personal savings, online and cash management accounts and term deposits.
RateCity’s awards are based on our market-leading Real Time Ratings™ system, which gives every term deposit in our database a score out of five based on interest accrued over the duration of the term deposit. Importantly, our ratings are run daily, which means we capture important changes as soon as they happen, unlike some other awards programs that only rate products at a handful of points in time. To determine the winners, we average the daily Real Time Ratings™ over a three-month period to identify the banks that have consistently offered competitive term deposit rates. The award is based on a $50,000 deposit as well as the time period stipulated and the top 10 per cent of products in each category receive a Gold Award.
Calculator information.
The Term Deposit Calculator calculates the approximate total interest earned in a term deposit based on the investment amount, term duration and interest rate (per annum) selected.
The calculator assumes that a year has 12 months of exactly equal lengths. Given some months are longer than others, actual interest earned will vary depending upon the month.
The actual duration of our terms are in calendar months, and the interest earned depends on the number of days the term deposit is open for.
The interest rates displayed are for amounts from $5,000 up to $2,000,000 and are based on the term duration and interest payment frequency selected. Contact ME for rates on amounts above $2,000,000.
