   Term Deposits are a cash investment that are invested for a fixed amount of
   time. When you apply, you decide how long you want the money invested,

 * How will my interest be calculated?
   
   Interest is calculated daily. The daily percentage rate is the Annual
   Percentage Rate divided by 365.

 * What happens to my Term Deposit at maturity?
   
   If you haven’t provided us specific instructions for when your term deposit
   matures, it will automatically be rolled over for the same term at the
   interest rate applicable on the date of maturity. 

 * What if I need to access to my funds before my Term Deposit matures?
   
    1. A reduction in the interest paid will apply to the amount withdrawn. When
       the Term Deposit is invested for a term of up to two years we will
       require 31 days advance written notice. When the Term Deposit is invested
       for a term of more than two years the following will apply:
       
       * Where the investment period at the time of withdrawal has been 2 years
         or less we will require 31 days advance written notice; or
       
       * Where the investment period at the time of withdrawal has been more
         than 2 years we will require 7 days advance written notice.
   
    2. For early withdrawals of a part or full amount of a Term Deposit the
       interest accrued or paid to that date will reduce as follows:
   
   Percentage of Term Remaining
   
   Interest Rate Reduction
   
   0-19.99%
   
   20%
   
   20-39.99%
   
   40%
   
   40-59.99%
   
   60%
   
   60-79.99%
   
   80%
   
   80-100%
   
   90%
   
   We may recover the interest deduction by charging this to the balance of your
   Term Deposit or any other deposit account you hold with us.
