If you’re looking for the secure, long term returns a term deposit can provide, Macquarie has a wide range of products available to choose from.
Product details
Term Lengths: Term lengths at Macquarie range from 1 month to 5 years.
Interest Rates: Macquarie Bank term deposit rates vary depending on the term length and deposit amount. Depending on how the economy is trending, shorter or longer products might have higher returns.
Deposit Limits: Macquarie advertises these products for deposits between $5,000 and $1,000,000.
Account Features and Benefits:
Interest Payment Options: Interest payments can be made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually, or at maturity. In general, there are slightly discounted rates for more frequent interest payments.
Automatic Rollover: At maturity, term deposits can be automatically rolled over. It's important to review the rates each time this happens as they are likely to have changed.
Fund Management: Your term deposit account can be linked with a Macquarie Cash Management Account (CMA) to make it easier to manage.
Account Keeping Fees: There are no account keeping fees on Macquarie Bank term deposits.
Eligibility and Application:
To apply, individuals must be Australian residents and at least 18 years old. A valid driver’s license or passport is required for identification.
The application process is online, and applicants need to have an Australian bank account for the direct debit to fund the term deposit.
Withdrawals and Penalties:
Early Withdrawal: Withdrawing funds before maturity typically requires at least 31 days' notice and interest rate sacrifices apply. This notice period can sometimes be waived if you can show evidence of financial hardship.
Maturity Instructions: Funds are automatically reinvested at maturity unless otherwise instructed. Customers have a grace period to change their investment or withdraw funds.

Important Information
InfoChoice.com.au provides general information and comparison services to help you make informed financial decisions. We do not cover every product or provider in the market. Our service is free to you because we receive compensation from product providers for sponsored placements, advertisements, and referrals.

Our service is free for you, thanks to support from our partners through sponsored placements, ads, and referrals. We earn compensation by promoting products, referring you, or when you click on a product link. You might also see ads in emails, sponsored content, or directly on our site.
We strive to cover a broad range of products, providers, and services; however, we do not cover the entire market. Products in our comparison tables are sorted based on various factors, including product features, interest rates, fees, popularity, and commercial arrangements.
Some products will be marked as promoted, featured or sponsored and may appear prominently in the tables regardless of their attributes.
Additionally, certain products may present forms designed to refer you to associated companies (e.g. our mortgage broker partner) who may be able to assist you with products from the brand you selected. We may receive a fee for this referral.
You can customise your search using our sorting and filtering tools to prioritise what matters most to you, although we do not compare all features and some results associated with commercial arrangements may still appear.
For home loans, the base criteria include a $400,000 loan amount over 30 years. For car loans, the base criteria include a $30,000 loan over 5 years. For personal loans, the base criteria include a $20,000 loan over 5 years. These rates are only examples and may not include all fees and charges.
*The Comparison rate is based on a $150,000 loan over 25 years. Warning: this comparison rate is true only for this example and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.
Monthly repayment figures are estimates that exclude fees. These estimates are based on the advertised rates for the specified term and loan amount. Actual repayments will depend on your circumstances and interest rate changes.
Monthly repayments, once the base criteria are altered by the user, will be based on the selected products’ advertised rates and determined by the loan amount, repayment type, loan term and LVR as input by the user/you.
