    Can a term deposit be in joint names and is there a limit $ on the government bank guarantee

      AvatarFinder
      AlisonMay 10, 2023Finder

      Hi, yes term deposits can be held in joint names. The government guarantee covers $250k per person, per ADI. So If you had a joint account with 2 account holders, both account holders would be covered for up to $250k each.
