Term Deposit - Monthly income

Term Deposit - Compounding interest & regular interest
For terms 12 months or longer, you can choose to have interest paid every three (quarterly), six or 12 months. The default payment frequency is quarterly. Interest can be compounded (added automatically to your original investment) which allows you to earn ‘interest on your interest’, meaning your investment grows at a faster rate than if interest were paid out during the course of the investment or paid in full at maturity. Alternatively, you can choose to have interest paid separately into any New Zealand bank account which allows you to receive a periodic income stream that is less frequent than our monthly income option.
