Why choose a 1-year term?

A 12-month term deposit is the most popular term length in Australia. It balances a competitive rate with a manageable commitment — you're not locked in for years, but you get a better rate than shorter terms.

Most banks offer their most competitive rates at 12 months, making it the benchmark most savers compare everything else against.
