    whats the highest rate of return you are currently getting for your

    1 month,
    6 month,
    12 month

    term deposits and what percentage rate increase would you need to see to encourage you to change banks and deposit your term deposits with someone else?

    (not interested in info about day to day transactional accounts just term deposits with Australian banks).

    It's a joke...Only yesterday I got a bit over 2% with ANZ for 3 months.
    Just needed to park some coin after cashing in some shares.
    Getting ready to purchase a property with my SMSF. :D

    @Dean Collins - Have a look at the on line accounts and cash management accounts. Some banks even offer attractive introductory rates - ING, Rabo, Fruit and Nut Pickers Bank of Nigeria etc.

    How long is 'short term'?

    Is putting the funds into your offset to reduce interest paid not an option (isn't it better not to pay 4% than to receive 2%)?

    Did (well portfolio loan) but paid all of that off already, only fixed portions left to go but recently got another $700k IP loan approved by Westpac so will have more variable to pay down once I find a new place........however the question was more "market research" about AussieProperty Bank and what sort of rate they'll need to offer in 1/6/12 month term deposits to convince people to move from term deposits with the Big 4 etc.

    Why term deposit and not savings account? Any savings account i.e. RAMS, ING etc. would pay better than term deposit rates in their savings accounts.

    From there website "The investment is not a bank deposit. Withdrawal rights are subject to liquidity and may be delayed or suspended." Thus not Australian Government Guarantee on deposits. There are higher returns with less risk around if this is your bag. Eg Hybrids
