Frequently asked questions

How do I amend Term Deposit maturity instructions on behalf of my clients?

Your client can hold either a Wrap or standalone Term Deposit (TD).

You can update the maturity instructions for TDs held within a Wrap account until 9pm (Sydney time) one business day before the maturity date.


To amend the maturity details for your client's Wrap TD:

  1. Log into Adviser Online
  2. Select Clients from the main navigation
  3. Select Wrap account administration from the sub-navigation
  4. Select Maintain an/a investment/superannuation/pension account
  5. Choose your client’s account and proceed
  6. Select Enter or maintain term deposit maturity election.

Please note: For rollovers, the elected maturity instructions will continue to apply unless modified online (by 9pm Sydney time one business day before the maturity date).


Standalone TDs

You can update the maturity instructions for standalone TDs until 2:30pm (Sydney time) the day of maturity.


To update the maturity elections for standalone Term Deposits:

  1. Log in to Adviser Online
  2. Search for the account number using the search bar
  3. Select the account and select account details
  4. Click update within the grace period
  5. Make the relevant changes and click submit.

Standalone TD correspondence

A reminder letter is sent to both clients and advisers 2 weeks before a standalone TD matures. This allows time for your client to consider and change their maturity instructions.


As an adviser, you’ll also receive an email alert each Friday. This email lists all TDs that are maturing the following week. If your client chooses to rollover their term deposit, they’ll receive a confirmation letter.

Standalone TD grace period

There’s a 5-day grace period after a standalone TD matures. In this period, you or the client may change the maturity instructions. Once the instructions have been changed, they can’t be changed again during this term.

How often do clients receive statements?

Your clients will be able to view their statements online once issued. This depends on the statement cycles which differs based on the product.

Cash Management Accounts

By default, your clients will receive their cash statements in half-yearly cycles. They can change this though if they want statements more frequently. The options for statement deliveries are:


Statements are available online the day after the last day in the statement cycle. This includes weekends. Statements are also available online for up to ten years. Your client can elect to receive hard copies of their statements via the post. Please note that fees may apply for hard copy statements.

For information about how clients can change their statement frequency see this article.

Cash Management Accelerator Accounts

Your clients will receive their Accelerator statements in half-yearly cycles by default. They can change this if they want to receive statements quarterly or monthly instead.

Term Deposits

Your clients will receive their half yearly term deposit statements by mail. These are sent out every 6 months at the end of June and December.

IDPS Accounts

Your clients can access their annual and quarterly statements for their Wrap Investment accounts online.

Quarterly statements are available online by the end of the month following the financial quarter. That is the end of January, April, and October each year. Annual statements are available before the end of July.

Superannuation and Pension Accounts

Your clients can access their half yearly report and annual statement for their super and pension accounts online.

As an adviser you can view and download your client’s statements through Adviser Online. However, you won’t be able to change their statement preferences.
