NAB the most generous big four bank for term deposit interest rates

Consumers who want to invest $5,000 in a term deposit with a big four bank will currently get the best return with NAB.

When it comes to $5,000 term deposits, NAB’s interest rates are either the same or higher than the other big four banks for three-month term deposits, one-year term deposits, two-year term deposits, three-year term deposits and five-year term deposits (see tables below).

To earn the highest interest rate, consumers would need to lock away their $5,000 lump sum for five years.

ANZ, NAB and Westpac all pay 2.80 per cent interest on five-year term deposits, which would deliver $700 interest, or a final return of $5,700.
