2025 Interest Rate Update
The AIDF Board has approved the updated lending and investment interest rates which are outlined below and are also available here.
The AIDF rates remain commercially attractive compared to those offered within the broader banking sector. In addition, no account keeping or transaction fees apply to our savings and investments products. The AIDF Board continues to monitor RBA and market movements closely.
