Educator+ Account and Term Deposit Benefits
Want to save for a new car? A beautiful wedding? Or just a rainy day?
Our range of savings offers for the South Australian education community can help you save towards any goal, big or small.
Term Deposit benefit for educators
Term Deposits allow you to lock away funds and earn a fixed interest rate for a set period, so you know exactly how much money you will earn.
The education community can earn an additional 0.10% p.a. on the current advertised Term Deposit Rates. This can be applied to new Term Deposits or a maturing Term Deposit at request. To inform us of your educator status, please send us a Secure Mail or call us on 13 8777*.
*Members who are eligible for the educator term deposit benefit must advise staff of their educator status for the additional 0.10% p.a. interest to apply.
