- Can I access my funds part way through the term?
- A term deposit is a fixed term investment. However, Heartland understands that people’s circumstances do change. Heartland may accept written requests for early repayment in certain circumstances such as the death of an investor or unforeseen financial hardship (but is not required to do so). If Heartland does agree to an early repayment, the interest rate payable in respect of your term deposit will be reduced. You can request an early, full or partial break by contacting our Retail Investments team on 0800 85 20 20 or [email protected].
- If my request to withdraw funds early from a term deposit is approved, how will the interest reduction be calculated?
-
If the funds have been invested for less than one month, Heartland will return the requested amount but will not pay you interest on that amount.
If the funds have been invested for longer than one month, the standard process is for the interest rate payable in respect of the funds that you are withdrawing to be reduced by 2.00% p.a. over the term of the investment. However, Heartland may from time-to-time reduce the interest rate payable by a larger amount, up to a maximum of 3% p.a, or a smaller amount. Your final return will not be reduced below zero. - Can I have my interest paid monthly?
- For terms of 12 months or longer with a minimum deposit of $50,000, interest can be paid out monthly to a Heartland bank account of your choice.
- What happens when the term comes to an end?
- Prior to the maturity date of your Heartland Term Deposit, Heartland will give you notice to tell you that your investment is about to mature. This maturity notice will give you the option to pay the funds to a Heartland bank account in your name, reinvest the full balance or reinvest part of the balance.
- Can I have my interest at maturity?
- Yes. For terms 4 months or longer, interest will be paid every 3 months. For terms less than 4 months, interest will be paid at maturity.
- Can I have the interest paid to an account at another bank?
- No, interest must be paid to a Heartland bank account of your choice.
- Can I open a term deposit if I don't bank with Heartland?
- Yes. As part of the onboarding process we will also set you up with a Direct Call or a Business Call account to accompany your new Term Deposit. These flexible savings accounts have no account fees, unlimited withdrawals, and offer a competitive interest rate.
- Is there a minimum or maximum deposit amount?
- Yes, you must deposit at least $1,000 to open a Term Deposit account. The maximum balance of each Term Deposit account cannot exceed $5,000,000.
- Will I get a letter when my deposit and interest are due?
- Yes, we will send a maturity notice prior to your Term Deposit maturing.
