Why choose a 2-year term?

A 2-year term deposit rewards patience. Banks typically offer higher rates for a 2-year commitment than for 12 or 18 months, as compensation for the longer lockup.

This term makes most sense when rates are high and you believe they'll fall — locking in a high rate for 2 years means you still earn well even after the Reserve Bank cuts.
