  • How will my interest be calculated and paid?

    Interest starts on the day your account is opened and funds are received and is calculated daily, by applying the interest rate to the closing balance of your account on that day as follows:

    Daily closing balance x Interest Rate (%) / 365.

    You can use our Term Deposit calculator to crunch the numbers and provide an estimate of how much interest you could earn1 . You can choose how and when you receive interest payments, with options to reinvest or transfer the interest to another bank account. 

  • How much interest could $250 000 earn in a year with a term deposit?

    This will depend on your fixed term deposit rate. For example, if your term deposit interest rate is 4.5% p.a. you could earn $11,250 in one year.1

  • How long is a term deposit?

    The length of your term deposit is dependent on what you decide upon. The length of our term deposits is from one month up to just under 5 years. The interest rate payable will generally depend on how long you lock in your term deposit for. You can view our current term deposit rates here.

  • What is the difference between a fixed deposit and a term deposit?

    “Fixed deposits” and “term deposits” can be used interchangeably. They both describe a type of investment that involves a person locking in a lump-sum of money for an agreed amount of time to earn a set amount of interest. In other words, fixed deposits can  also be known as term deposits.

  • Important Information

      Term deposit products issued by Bank of Queensland Limited ABN 32 009 656 740 (BOQ) AFSL and Australian Credit Licence No 244616.

      Interest rates on offer may change at any time without notice. Different interest rates apply to different investment amounts, terms and interest payment frequencies. If you choose to renew your Term Deposit upon maturity, the interest rate may be higher or lower than the interest rate on your maturing Term Deposit.

      You must provide 31 days’ notice for early withdrawal or termination before your fixed Term Deposit Account matures. If you give notice to withdraw your Term Deposit before maturity, an early payout fee will be payable and interest will be adjusted in accordance with the Deposit Products Terms and Conditions or Business Transaction and Investment Accounts Terms and Conditions and the relevant Guide to Fees and Charges (as the case may be). If you think you will need to access the funds in your Term Deposit immediately or regularly, another deposit product may be more suitable.

      All other rates quoted apply only if end of term interest payment is chosen. For monthly interest payments, the applicable interest rate will be the rate quoted above, less 0.10%, with a minimum rate of 0.05% p.a.

      Rates quoted for term deposit of less than 1 month apply to both end of term and monthly interest payment options. Term deposit of less than 1 month is available only on reinvestment of funds.

      Bonus interest offers are not available in conjunction with one another or with any other offer.

      All term deposit rates quoted are per annum. Minimum investment amount and account balance is $1,000. Interest is calculated daily and paid at the end of the investment term, or in the case of investments longer than 12 months, paid annually.

      4. 1. Calculator Information

      The Term Deposit Calculator calculates the approximate total interest earned in a term deposit based on the investment amount, term duration and interest rate (per annum) selected.

      The calculator assumes that a year has 12 months of exactly equal lengths. Given some months are longer than others, actual interest earned will vary depending upon the month.

      The actual duration of our terms are in calendar months, and the interest earned depends on the number of days the term deposit is open for.

      The interest rates displayed are for amounts from $1,000 up to $2,000,000 and are based on the term duration and amount deposited. Contact BOQ for rates on amounts above $2,000,000.
