FAQs

Can I access my term deposit early?

If you decide to withdraw or transfer part or all of the account balance of your term deposit after the grace period has expired but before the maturity date, you can discuss this request with one of our specialists at your local branch or call us on 13 14 22. Any withdrawal outside the grace period or before maturity will be subject to the conditions outlined in our Guide to Heritage Deposit Products.

Should you decide to withdraw or transfer part or all of the account balance of your term deposit account after the grace period has expired but before the maturity date, you can ask us. Heritage may require up to 31 days notice of your intention to withdraw funds.

The early withdrawal rate is currently 0.10% p.a.

For further information and examples of how the early withdrawal rate will affect your investment refer to the Guide to Heritage Deposit Products.

The day your term deposit ends is known as the maturity date. Prior to the maturity date we will send you an email or letter reminder that your term deposit is renewing.

At this time, you will be able to review the maturity instructions you provided when you first set up your term deposit.

If you’d like to change the instructions, you can let us know by completing and returning the change to term deposit maturity instructions form.

What is the grace period on term deposits?

All Heritage term deposits have a grace period of 7 calendar days from the start date of your term deposit.

This means if your term deposit reinvests and you wish to change the term of your investment or withdraw it, you will have 7 calendar days to do so after your renewal date.

To make a change to your term deposit, manage your term deposit in Heritage Online, visit your local branch or call us on 13 14 22.
