Tracking & managing your investment

    Roughly a week before your Business Investment Account matures, we'll send you a letter with your options:

    1. Renew your Business Investment Account for another term to immediately lock in a new fixed interest rate. You can also top it up with additional funds or withdraw a portion of your funds.
    2. Withdraw your investment, including the interest you’ve earned.
    3. Place in holding facility while you decide what to do. If you don’t provide instructions, your funds will be placed in our holding facility and continue to earn an applicable interest rate (paid weekly)^. 

    You can let us know your maturity instructions through NetBank or by contacting your Relationship Manager, visiting any branch or by calling 1800 643 837 Mon - Fri, 8:00am to 4:30pm (Sydney/Melbourne time).

Things you should know

  • 1 The above interest rates are not applicable to Financial Institution customers. If you are a Financial Institution customer, please contact your Relationship Manager for details of the interest rates available on your Business Investment Account.

    ^ If you don't provide instructions for your Business Investment Account at maturity, your funds will be automatically placed into our Business Investment Account holding facility. When your funds are in the holding facility, they're renewed at a fixed interest rate every seven days until we receive your instructions. You can give us instructions at any time, once you decide what you want to do. Holding facility funds earn an interest rate, which may be lower than the rate offered for a fixed term and may be subject to change. If your funds have been left in the Business Investment Account holding facility for more than 6 months, we'll automatically renew your funds as a rolling 1 month term at the standard interest rate at the time, until you provide us with instructions.
