Is a term deposit right for me?
Term deposits can be a great option if you’re saving for something specific; with a fixed interest rate, you’ll know exactly how much you’ll have at the end of the term. Contrary to popular belief, term deposits at BankVic offer the same flexibility as many savings accounts.
Here we bust some myths to help you understand whether a term deposit is right for you.

Term deposits at BankVic offer a secure method for saving, ensuring that your funds are set aside for a specific period. While your money is committed for the term, you do have the option to make a withdrawal in case of emergency (please note that withdrawing funds will result in a loss of interest earnings).
I’ll be charged a fee if I need to withdraw my funds before the term ends – FALSE
You shouldn’t be punished when circumstances change unexpectedly so BankVic won’t charge early withdrawal fees if you need to access your money.
Term deposits have high fees – FALSE
We don’t charge account keeping or set up fees so you’ll pay $0 to build your savings in a BankVic term deposit.
