ReinvestPrincipal and Interest

This option allows you to reinvest your full Term Deposit balance including both the original principal and any interest earned.

If you wish to reinvest the Principal and Interest for the same term you do not need to do anything. Your Term Deposit will automatically reinvest for the same term at the prevailing interest rate on the date of maturity and may be higher or lower than the rate you received for your current investment.

Where the withdrawal reduces the 'Fixed Term Deposit' balance to an amount that attracts a lesser rate, that lesser rate shall apply for the remainder of the term. Part withdrawals are not permitted on the Interest First Term Deposit product.

Reinvestspecific amount

This option allows you to reinvest only part of your Term Deposit balance.

For example, if your Term Deposit has a principal amount of $200,000, you may choose to reinvest $150,000 into a new Term Deposit of your selected term. The remaining funds will be transferred to your nominated account.

Alternatively, you can choose to reinvest the full balance and add additional funds from another Bank First account (such as your Everyday or Online Saver Account). Simply provide the 9-digit account number for the account the funds will be transferred from or deposited into.

You can find your 9-digit account number on your accounts screen in Internet Banking or Bank First App.
