A simple way to invest $1,000 or more. A term deposit is a fixed-term investment option that offers a fixed interest rate for a set period, ranging from 3 months to 2 years.

Frequently-asked questions
Is my Term Deposit money with AMP or Heartland Bank?
AMP offers access to Term Deposits provided by Heartland Bank. AMP will manage all applications and queries regarding Term Deposits. Any questions you have about Term Deposits should be directed to AMP.
Term Deposits money is held by our custodian, AMP Nominees, and on your behalf deposited with Heartland Bank.
Heartland Bank is the issuer of Term Deposits. Heartland Bank is, at all times, responsible for investing, applying and paying all applicable interest in respect of your Term Deposit(s). See the Term Deposits terms and conditions to find out more.
Why Heartland Bank?
To open a Term Deposit, you must be over 18 years of age, be a New Zealand tax resident and live in New Zealand.
We currently only offer Term Deposits to individual investors, meaning you cannot open an account with your partner, child or family trust.
A term deposit is a fixed term investment. We understand, however, that people's circumstances do change. AMP may, and following consultation from Heartland Bank, accept written requests for early repayment in certain circumstances such as unforeseen financial hardship (but are not required to do so). If we do agree to an early repayment, the interest rate payable in respect of your Term Deposit will be reduced and certain break fees and other charges will apply.
If you wish to terminate a Term Deposit and have it repaid early, you will need to contact us on 0800 267 027 or investments@amp.co.nz. Or contact your AMP adviser.
Interest earned and distributions made in respect of Term Deposits or funds held on your behalf may be subject to taxes. Such taxes will be deducted from interest earned.
The amount of tax you pay is based on your Resident Withholding Tax (RWT) rate. In order to ensure the correct amount of tax is deducted you must keep us informed as to your correct tax rate. Note that if you do not provide us with your IRD number then resident withholding tax will be deducted at the non-declaration rate of 45%.
If you are an existing AMP member you may be able to transfer funds from one of your existing AMP products to a Term Deposit by informing us at the time of your withdrawal. A transfer from an existing AMP product will need to be made in accordance with any withdrawal rules for that product.
If you are new to AMP, in order to transfer money, you need to use the unique reference details we provide to you at the time you open an account. If you do not use your unique reference details this may result in delays in establishing and accessing Term Deposits.
While our Term Deposit offer is available exclusively through our AMP client adviser team it’s possible to only view active Term Deposit accounts in MyAMP.
The ability to open, view and manage a Term Deposit account alongside existing AMP accounts online via MyAMP is coming soon!
