NAB Term Deposit 'trade up'

Take advantage of rate rises during your Term Deposit

Enjoy the security and financial performance of a NAB Term Deposit, and still benefit if interest rates rise during that time.

A NAB Term Deposit 'trade up' is ideal if you want to invest your money for a fixed period, with the security of a known return. It’s suitable for amounts over $1,000 and is fixed for a 2 year term.

How does it work?
  • You begin with a competitive NAB Term Deposit rate and if interest rates rise, you can 'trade up' once (except during the final seven days of your term when no 'trade up' is available.) If interest rates go down, your opening rate still applies.  For example, if you invest for a fixed term of two years at 3% p.a. and after 14 months interest rates rise and NAB offers 3.5% p.a. for a 10 month term on a standard NAB Term Deposit you can choose to 'trade up' to 3.5% p.a. Then your total earnings would be 3% for the first 14 months of your investment and 3.5% p.a. for the last 10 months
  • You can trade up by a maximum of 3% over your original Term Deposit rate. After you 'trade up' the new rate is fixed for the remainder of the term
  • You can benefit even more from a rate rise by adding funds to your investment when you trade up. You then earn higher interest on a larger deposit, resulting in greater total earnings, however your total investment cannot exceed $500,000
