A term deposit is a type of savings account, where you lock away an amount of money for an agreed length of time (a 'term). While this means that you can't access the money in your term deposit account until the term is up, you'll be guaranteed a set interest rate for the length of the term you chose. This way, you can be sure of what return you'll get on your investment.
