Cba Term Deposit

Term Deposits Our CBA Deposit Accounts are designed to offer maximum return on investment. They offer flexible investment periods with interest that is paid upon maturity or at predetermined times of the year. We give you the choice of investing in both local and designated foreign currencies. The Commonwealth Bank Term Deposit is flexible as it gives you the option have your interest paid either every 28 days, 6 months, annually or at maturity, depending on the length of their term period. You can also choose to have your interest paid into a different bank.

The big four banks have been cutting the interest rates on their term deposits this year.

At present, a 12-month term deposit from Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) for balances above $50,000 offers an interest rate of just 1.1%.

This is lower than the inflation rate, which effectively means that you’re losing money in real terms.

In light of this, I think investors ought to look to the share market for a source of income. Especially after the coronavirus outbreak dragged shares down to levels that mean they offer very generous dividend yields.

Here are two ASX dividend shares that I think would be worth considering once the market volatility eases:

Accent Group Ltd (ASX: AX1)

I think Accent Group could be a good option for income investors after its sharp share price decline over the last three weeks. Although trading conditions in the retail industry have been tough, this hasn’t stopped this footwear-focused retail group from delivering solid profit and dividend growth. I’m confident there will be more of the same in FY 2020 thanks to the popularity of its Athlete’s Foot, HYPE DC, and Platypus stores with consumers. At present its shares offer a trailing fully franked 7.45% dividend yield.

Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF (ASX: VHY)

Another option for income investors to consider is the Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF. As its name implies, this ETF invests in many of the highest yielding dividend shares on the local market. I like it because not only does it offer a generous dividend yield, it does this through a diverse group of shares ranging from miners such as BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP), the big four banks, and telco giant Telstra Corporation Ltd (ASX: TLS). At present I estimate that the Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF offers a partially franked dividend yield of ~6.2%.

And here is a third dividend share which has been rated as a buy. I think it would be a great option income investors right now.

Edward has just named what he believes is the number one ASX dividend stock to buy for 2020.

This fully franked “under the radar” company is currently trading 7% below its all time high and paying a 5.4% grossed up dividend

The name of this dividend dynamo and the full investment case is revealed in this brand new free report.

But you will have to hurry — history has shown it can pay dividends to get in early to some of Edward’s stock picks, and this dividend stock is already on the move.
