Have a question about Term Deposits? No problem…

To fund your Judo Bank deposit, you have two options:

1. Perform a “Pay Anyone” via your bank account to Judo Bank with BSB 703-888 and your Judo Bank Account Number.
2. Perform a BPAY to Judo Bank using Biller Code 274753 and your Judo Bank Account Number as the Biller Reference Code. You can transfer up to $250,000 per day via BPAY.

Please note some banks may show “Indue Limited” as the description for the Judo Bank BSB. Indue is our payments partner, so please feel comfortable transferring if you see this detail in the BSB description.

You have 10 calendar days from the date your account is opened to transfer funds into your nominated account. You can do this in multiple transfers up to the amount you indicated in your application. If you wish to deposit more than this commitment amount, you cannot make any further deposits into your account after the deposit which exceeds your commitment amount. If unfunded after 10 calendar days, your account will automatically close. If this occurs, you can apply for a new account, which will be established under the new, applicable interest rate.

While this is possible, banks have daily withdrawal limits, which restrict the amount of money you can transfer between accounts on a given day. This limit can usually be adjusted. Please contact your bank for their specific procedures.

Yes, all deposits you have with Judo Bank are guaranteed up to $250,000 by the Australian Government, under the Financial Claims Scheme. For more information on the Financial Claims Scheme click here.

You cannot add additional funds to your account once your Term Deposit has been fixed. In the event you attempt to make further deposits into your account after this time, such payments will not be processed. Once your Term Deposit matures you can add funds if you nominate to roll over your Term Deposit. You have 10 Calendar days from the date of maturity to add additional funds. While you cannot transfer funds into an existing Term Deposit during its term, you can always open an additional Term Deposit account. The minimum amount is $1,000. For any amount over $1,000,000 please call 13JUDO.

During the application process you will be asked for the details of your nominated account. A nominated account is an external bank account with an Australian authorised deposit-taking institution, which Judo Bank will use to accept and transfer out any funds you request. If you already have an account and wish to change your nominated account you can do this by logging in to Internet Banking and clicking on My Account>Saved Payees>Add Payee.

Let us know what you would like to do with your Term Deposit funds before the end of the term through your Internet Banking profile. Log in to Internet Banking - Go to My Account> Accounts >Maturity Instructions (on the right).

All information about your Term Deposit account, including opening date and maturity date, can be found in your Internet Banking profile by navigating to My Account>Maturity instructions (on the right). We will also send you a couple of reminders via email before your Term Deposit matures. Note that you will need to let us know what you would like to do with your funds before your Term Deposit matures, otherwise your maturity instructions will default to reinvestment of the entire account balance as at the maturity date into a new Term Deposit.

When you re-invest your full initial deposit amount (principal) or more into a new Term Deposit with Judo Bank, immediately after the maturity of your original Term Deposit. The Loyalty Bonus is applied to the new term and will be added on top of the rate offered at the time of maturity. We may, but are not obliged to, offer you this bonus interest rate. You will not be eligible for the Loyalty Bonus if you withdraw or transfer the funds in your account before the maturity date of your new Term Deposit. The Loyalty Bonus is only offered to Personal Term Deposits.

Business and SMSF Term Deposits are coming soon.

Judo Bank does not charge any ongoing fees on any of its Term Deposit accounts. If you wish to withdraw part or all of a Term Deposit before it reaches its maturity date, however, you may incur break costs.

Unfortunately, at this current time, we do not accept Term Deposit applications which have been executed by a power of attorney. However once you have successfully opened a Term Deposit and later require a Power of Attorney to operate this Term Deposit account, please call us at Judo Bank and we can arrange the appropriate access.

Once you have opened your Term Deposit account with us, you can nominate an attorney to act on your behalf in relation to your Term Deposit account. Once your Term Deposit account is established, please call us at Judo Bank and we can arrange the appropriate access.

Any money that you have deposited within the first 10 days of your account opening will be locked in for the duration of the term, up to your nominated amount or the 10 day funding period closing.

There are two options.

You can specify that any account action requires the instructions of any sole account holder(s) to the multi-holder account, without the need for secondary approval from their fellow account holder(s).

OR

You can specify that any account action requires the instruction of any 2 or more nominated account holders to the multi-holder account before the action is carried out.

2. To be an Australian citizen or permanent resident, and reside permanently in Australia over the age of 18

Withholding tax is deducted from the gross amount of interest paid to you.

For multi-holder accounts, all customers must provide a TFN/ABN or exemption code to avoid withholding tax deductions.

There are multiple options available but the three most common include:

1. Transfer the entirety of your funds to your nominated account.
2. Re-invest the principal only, and pay out the interest to your nominated account.
3. Re-invest the entirety of your account balance into a new Term Deposit.

If you do not indicate your preferences beforehand, your account will default to the third option. If you choose to reinvest your current funds (or more), you could be eligible for our Term Deposit Loyalty Bonus rate, which would be added on top of the rate offered for your new term.

This is the cost of withdrawing from your Term Deposit before it reaches maturity. The break cost is determined by the costs associated with future cash flow losses incurred by Judo Bank, as a result of interest rate differentials that exist between wholesale market rates applicable to a Term Deposit, and current wholesale market rates applicable for the remaining period of a Term Deposit, adjusted to reflect the net present value. Break costs increase in line with increases in interest rates, the amount withdrawn and the market margin. Break costs will be determined at the time your request is made.

Judo Bank will determine on a case by case basis if it allows a customer to break their Term Deposit (unless for hardship reasons).

Authorised representatives have full authority on any account(s) that they are appointed on and will also receive all notices in relation to that account. Authorised representatives are jointly responsible for the account with the account holder(s) and for any obligation of the account holder(s).

The Australian Government has entered into international agreements in order to meet global standards on the automatic exchange of financial account information. As a result, Judo Bank needs to collect foreign tax residency information for reporting to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). This information is required under:

• The United States (US) under a system known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). This is for US citizens and tax residents only.
• Other countries under the Common Reporting Standard (CRS). The CRS applies to all foreign tax residents. This obligation requires that banks like Judo Bank must ask customers who are recognised as foreign residents for tax purposes, additional questions regarding their foreign tax profile at the time of opening an account. This information will then be reported to the ATO and potentially shared with other international tax authorities.

Judo Bank’s terms and conditions (T&Cs) can be accessed click here.

The interest rate applicable to your account can be found by going to My Account >Accounts >Details. The rate will be displayed under "INTEREST PAID THIS TAX YEAR".
