Cash & Term Deposits
Curve sources deposit rates from over 80 Banking Institutions finding the best rates across the whole credit spectrum from the AAA rated major banks to unrated Credit Unions.
We can scour the market for the best investment opportunities, whether they be cash and term deposits, fixed rate bonds or floating rate notes.
Investment opportunities can be tailored to suit client investment policies. As Curve deals in all terms and with credit rated entities ranging from AAA to unrated there is something for everyone.
They are usually placed with an Authorised Deposit-Taking Institution (ADI). All ADIs, whether they be a bank, building society or credit union are tightly regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). Extra safety is provided through the depositor protection provisions of the Banking Act of 1959. This proclaims that depositors are paid out prior to other creditors. They are therefore a relatively safe form of investment.
Further security comes from the Financial Claims Scheme that guarantees up to $250,000 of a deposit per investment entity per ADI.
Curve regularly accesses ‘special’ deposit rates for its clients when banking institutions are looking for extra funds. They value the access we can provide to our diverse client base and come to us with exclusive opportunities for our clients.
When required Curve will also negotiate better rates on behalf of its clients.
Many institutions have paperwork laden deposit processes. Curve has worked with the deposit-takers and has developed systems and processes to save its clients from this burden. When paperwork is still required we fill it all out leaving you just to sign and email back.
Curve keeps our clients informed of regulatory and product developments that are likely to impact on investment options.
These can range from AAA Commonwealth Government Securities to unrated private placements and everything in between.
Structures range from covered bonds to senior, subordinated and hybrid securities.
Whether your preference is to lock in a fixed rate or take advantage of the flexibility offered by a floating rate note, Curve can find a solution for you.
Again, there is no fee for this service as Curve factors in our revenue within the yield we secure for our clients. We scour the market for the best price to ensure our clients get the highest possible rate. The rate we show you is the rate you get.
To achieve this Curve directs its clients to independent Austraclear and back office treasury service provider etos. Information on their service can be found at etos.co.nz
