What is term deposit maturity?

Term deposit maturity refers to the date at which your investment ends. The maturity date of your term deposit is selected when you open the account.  

Can I withdraw funds from my term deposit?

You can only withdraw the full amount from your term deposit at maturity. If you withdraw your funds from the term deposit account, the account will be closed.

If you wish to withdraw funds prior to maturity you must usually provide us with 31 days’ notice. If you have less than 31 days remaining of your term, the earliest you can access your funds is at maturity. For more information about withdrawals, see our Help Centre article on withdrawing or depositing money into a term deposit.
