Cash Transaction Account

Any earnings from term deposits or listed securities are usually credited to your Cash Transaction Account (CTA). The CTA is designed to hold your money for short periods of time, until you either invest in Direct Access, or transfer funds back into one of our diversified or single asset class investment options.

Funds held within your CTA are deposited with ANZ and attract interest at a rate of 0.30% above the ANZ official cash rate. Effective 3 May 2023 that rate is 4.15% p.a.
