    They are offering 1.9% for 5 month, any experience with them? They are the old QANTAS credit union, I guess they are a reliable bank. I need to park some funds for a while as my bank is only offering 1.35%.

    I’ve used their services for over 20 years. Low to no fees on a lot of products. I would recommend them.

    And the 1.9% is for only 5 months and is not per annum?

    # All rates are per annum

    It's per annum but a term of 5 months. But it seems that one can now have a longer term of 12 months and still get the 1.9%.

    Annum is Latin for year. :) So for a million you would get $19K if you invested for 12 months.

    For 5 months you get $19,000.00/12= $1,583.88 a month times 5 = $7,916.00

    But yes if there is the option to invest the full amount for 12 month then you would get the full $19K.

    Edit: Just checked and now you can invest for 12 months Term Deposits | High Interest Savings Account - Qudos Bank

    Just remember that the 1st $250K are government guaranteed like any other institution.

    Hi John,

    Just looking at Qudos Bank term deposits on the back of this thread and I can see options that vary from 3 - 12 months at the same rate of 1.90%. What would be the reason (if any) that someone would opt in to the 12 month TD when they can get the same $ return from doing the 3 month option and just renewing the 3 months 4 times without being locked in at 12 months? Keen to get your insight.

    Also using your quote above - if TD's over $10k and 3 month durations are 1.9%, does that mean for the $10k at the end of the 3 month TD, i'd get $190 / 12 x 3 months = $47.5?

    Thanks

    if interest rates drop in the next 3 months, you might not be able to renew at 1.9%.
