Term deposit early withdrawal interest calculation adjustment

From 1 May 2026, we've changed the way we calculate your interest adjustment if you withdraw funds prior to the end of term. The below table provides a guide on how the interest adjustment will apply.

For example, if your funds are invested for 70% of the agreed term, the prepayment adjustment to be applied will be 40%.

0% to less than 20%
90%
20% to less than 40%
80%

60% to less than 80%

Frequently asked questions

What’s changing and why are you aligning products?

We’re bringing Bank Australia and Qudos Bank products together into one simplified, consistent product range. This means removing duplicate products and creating a single set of features, rates and tiers so banking is easier to understand across both banks.

Will my specific product or rate change?


Some older products will be closed and moved to modern equivalents. Deposit tier structures and interest rates will be aligned across both banks, which might mean different rates for some balances.

Why has my rate decreased?

Some customers may move to a lower interest rate as we standardise tiers and product settings across both banks. If you’re affected, we have a range of modern products designed to help you get the best value going forward.
