Term Deposits

1 April – 5 April 2024

Summary: Small number of rate changes; 5 reductions, 5 increases; noteworthy changes from Defence Bank, Bank of Melbourne, Police Bank; highest rate in survey unchanged at 5.10%.

There were a small number of rate changes made by banks, building societies and other approved deposit-taking institutions (ADIs) again in this week’s YieldReport survey. Of the ten changes which occurred, five took the form of rate reductions. 

None of the major banks changed their term-deposit rates.  

Among the smaller ADIs, the most noticeable set of changes in a very uneventful week came from Defence Bank. It lowered its 1-year and 2-year rates by 10bps and 40bps respectively.  

The only other changes of note were a 25bsp cut to Bank of Melbourne’s 1-year rate and a 25bps increase to Police Bank’s 4-month rate. 

See our table below for any other changes as well as the latest rates and terms which are available. The highest rate in this week’s survey remained at 5.10% and it is offered by both Bank of Sydney and Judo.
