## Features

- **Real-time payments (NPP)** (This means you can receive faster payments into this account, often in real time. Keep in mind - this account isn't eligible for PayID.)
- **Digital banking** (Manage your term deposit in Bankwest Online Banking subject to conditions of use.)
- **Changes aimed at strengthening the banking system mean we need 31 days' notice if you want to withdraw your funds before the maturity date. This can also affect the interest we pay you. You can still access your money at maturity and during the grace period. You may request the withdrawal of all or part of your funds prior to the maturity date provided that you give 31 days' notice. If your Term Deposit has less than 31 days to maturity, you will only be able to access funds on the maturity date. The notice period starts on the day you request withdrawal. However, where the request falls on a non-business day the notice period will start on the next business day. If you are experiencing hardship and need your funds before maturity, please contact us. If you withdraw all or part of your funds prior to the maturity date, your entitlement to interest in respect of the deposit will be reduced, according to when an early repayment is made. Please refer to the Term Deposits Terms & Conditions for further details.**
- **This account is only available for either the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,24,36,48, or 60 Months term.**
- **At the end of your term, unless we notify you that we will not be renewing your deposit, you have seven calendar days (known as your 'grace period') to let us know you want to withdraw your funds or reinvest them. If you don't let us know, your funds will be automatically reinvested for the same term at the applicable rate.**
- **You may instruct us at any time during the term of your deposit, to renew it at its maturity.**
- **Notifications** — Maturity reminders (We will send you a letter to remind you when your term is about to end, and we will also let you know on your term deposit account page in online banking. We will send you a confirmation letter when you open and renew your term deposit. For term deposits with a term of six months or more, we will give you an account statement every six months. We will also send you a term deposit reinvestment notice before it matures, not only as a reminder but to also explain what you can do next.)
- **Set up online or over the phone and manage your term deposit online.**
