SPONSORED
Canstar may earn a fee from its Online Partners for referrals from its website tables, and from sponsorship or promotion of certain products. Fees payable by product providers for referrals and sponsorship or promotion may vary between providers, website position, and revenue model. Sponsorship/promotion fees may be higher than referral fees. If a product is sponsored or promoted, it’s an ad and it is clearly marked as such. An ad might appear in different places on our website, such as in comparison tables and articles. Ads may be displayed in a fixed position in a table, regardless of the product's rating, price or other attributes. The location of an ad doesn’t indicate any ranking or rating by Canstar. Payment of fees for ads does not influence our Star Ratings. See How We Get Paid to find out more.
What is a Target Market Determination?
A Target Market Determination (‘TMD’) is a document that explains which people particular financial products may be suitable for (the target market) and sets out any conditions around how financial products can be distributed to consumers.
Why do product issuers provide Target Market Determinations?
From 5 October 2021, TMDs are compulsory for most financial products.
Issuers and distributors of financial products must take reasonable steps that are likely to result in financial products reaching consumers in the target market defined by the product issuer.
We recommend that you consider the TMD before making a purchase decision. Contact the product issuer directly for a copy of the TMD.
The results don’t include every provider in the market and we may not compare all features relevant to you. You can find a description of the initial sort order below the table.You can use the selector to change the term deposit duration. The initial sort order for each term deposit duration is the highest advertised interest rate for a specific term, followed by alphabetically by company name. The interest rates used for the sort order for each duration is as follows: 1 month (for 1- 4 months), 6 months (for 5 - 8 months), 12 months (for 9 - 12 months), 18 months (for 13 - 18 months) and 2 years (for 2 - 5 years). You can use the sort buttons at the top of each column to re-order the display. Check current rates and product details with the product issuer. The results will show the products that most closely match the inputs in the selector above the table. If you are unsure about any terms used in the comparison table please refer to the glossary.

Compound interest explained: Interest earned on an initial amount of money invested as well as on the accumulated interest. Interest can be compounded at different frequencies such as monthly, semi-annually, annually, etc. The compound frequency, the number of compounding periods and the interest rate will determine the amount of interest earned. Example: If you invest $10,000 for 5 years, at 3% interest compounded monthly, you would earn $1,616. Then by adding it to the initial investment amount, you would have a total of $11,616 by the end of the 5-year term.
