FirstChoice is now offering a very special 12 month term deposit rate
FirstChoice is well-known for the value for money it offers you and your clients.
To extend this value even further we are now pleased to announce that we have increased the interest rate on the 12 month term of FirstRate Term Deposits. The rate is now 4.50% pa for FirstChoice Wholesale and 4.25% pa for FirstChoice^.
With FirstRate Term Deposits your clients can be assured of both a great interest rate and the security of an investment on deposit with the Commonwealth Bank.
