You can change your instructions before the maturity date or within seven days after the maturity date by giving us further recognised instructions.

Can I access my term deposit early?
Yes. If you decide to withdraw or transfer part or all of the account balance of your term deposit after the grace period has expired but before the maturity date, you can discuss this request with one of our specialists at your local branch or call us on 13 14 22. Any withdrawal outside the grace period or before maturity will be subject to the conditions outlined in our Guide to Heritage Deposit Products.
When you withdraw part or all of your deposit before the end of the term, we will pay a reduced rate of interest on the withdrawn amount. This reduced rate is called the early withdrawal rate. The effect of the early withdrawal rate is to reduce your interest return, on the amount withdrawn, to the early withdrawal rate.
Early withdrawal rate
The early withdrawal rate is currently 0.10% p.a.
For further information and examples of how the early withdrawal rate will affect your investment refer to the Guide to Heritage Deposit Products.
Can I change when interest is paid on my term deposit?
When you open a new term deposit, or your term deposit reaches the maturity date, you can choose to have your interest paid at a different interval.
A reduced rate of interest will be paid for interest payment methods other than at maturity and yearly.

What happens when my term deposit ends?
The day your term deposit ends is known as the maturity date. Prior to the maturity date we will send you an email or letter reminder that your term deposit is renewing.
At this time, you will be able to review the maturity instructions you provided when you first set up your term deposit.
If you’d like to change the instructions, you can let us know by completing and returning the change to term deposit maturity instructions form.

What is the grace period on term deposits?
All Heritage term deposits have a grace period of 7 calendar days from the start date of your term deposit.
This means if your term deposit reinvests and you wish to change the term of your investment or withdraw it, you will have 7 calendar days to do so after your renewal date.
To make a change to your term deposit, manage your term deposit in Heritage Online, visit your local branch or call us on 13 14 22.
