Why choose a 3-month term?

A 3-month term deposit is the shortest standard offering from most Australian banks. Rates are typically lower than longer terms — but you regain full flexibility in just a few months.

This makes 3-month terms ideal when you're uncertain about rates, when you think rates may rise, or when you simply want to hold cash safely without committing long-term.
