How it works
1. Apply online
Choose how much you’re going to invest and for how long. We’ll also ask you how often you want to receive your interest payments.
2. Earn interest
Receive interest payments monthly. Payments can be made into your bank account or automatically reinvested.
3. Reinvest or withdraw funds
At the end of the term we’ll pay out the balance of your term investment or you may choose to reinvest the amount.
How Anthea and John saved for their first home — and how you could too.
Saving for a house deposit can take years of hard work but it isn’t impossible if you have the right plan in place. Jonathan and Anthea decided they were ready to knuckle down and save for their first home.
They struggled to find a bank that would offer them an interest rate more than 1% p.a. until a relative recommended APS benefits.
With their $26K investment, Jonathan and Anthea calculated their yearly interest earnings with a major bank to be $70 compared to $500 with an APS Savings account. It was a pretty easy decision from there!
