When do I send funds to my term deposit?
Firstly (and you may have guessed this), you need to apply for a term deposit account. Once it’s approved, you can deposit a minimum of $5,000 to the term deposit account, which can be authorised through direct debit.
ME Accordian
How can I choose when my term deposit matures?
You can provide ME with maturity instructions while applying for your term deposit. We may also write to you approximately ten business days prior to the maturity of your term deposit to confirm your maturity instructions.
ME Accordian
What if I need to break my term deposit?
You can make an early withdrawal request by contacting ME on
13 15 63 and providing 31 days’ notice. Please note that partial withdrawals are not permitted. The interest earned is reduced if you end your term deposit early and an early withdrawal interest adjustment will be made.
ME Accordian
How will my interest be calculated and paid?
Interest starts on the day your account is opened and funds are received and is calculated daily, by applying the interest rate to the closing balance of your account on that day as follows:
Daily closing balance x Interest Rate (%) / 365.
ME Accordian
What happens to my term deposit at maturity? (Full withdraw, renewal etc.)
When your term deposit matures you can:
- Reinvest your term deposit for a new term with additional funds debited from your nominated account.
- Reinvest your term deposit for a new term without additional funds.
- Repay all of your term deposit by transferring funds to your nominated account.
- Repay some of your term deposit to your nominated account and reinvest the remainder of your term deposit for a new term.
ME Accordian
What is the maximum and minimum I can deposit?
Minimum deposit is $5,000 and maximum is $2,000,000. For rates for amounts above $2,000,000, contact ME on
13 15 63.
ME Accordian
How can I adjust my term?
You can change your instructions for all or just part of your term deposit to be automatically reinvested for a new term at maturity. You can also arrange for all or part of your term deposit to be repaid to your nominated account by contacting ME.
ME Accordian
How do I know when my term deposit is going to mature?
You can provide ME with maturity instructions when applying for your term deposit. We will also write to you approximately ten business days prior to the maturity of your term deposit to confirm your maturity instructions.
If you do not provide maturity instructions at least two business days prior to the maturity of your term deposit, we will reinvest your term deposit on the maturity date:
- For a new term of the same length as the term that has ended.
- At the interest rate applicable on the maturity date for a deposit of that term (and amount) with the same interest payment frequency.
- On the same terms and conditions except to the extent determined by us.
- These details will be confirmed in the confirmation letter we send you once your term deposit matures and is reinvested.
- The interest rate on reinvestment may be higher or lower than your current rate.

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.
