What is a deposit bond?
A deposit bond is a substitute for the cash deposit required when purchasing a property. The deposit bond can be for any amount up to 10% of the purchase price. At settlement, the purchaser simply pays the full purchase price of the property.
Why would I need a deposit bond?
Our deposit bonds are used in place of a standard cash deposit. Accepted, secure and so, so simple….
There are many reasons why you can benefit from using a Deposit Power bond:
- If your cash is tied up in other investments, you can use a deposit bond as a substitute to secure your property.
- When attending auctions, a deposit bond can be used to secure your purchase, you don’t need to have the cash ready at the time.
- A much better option compared to a slow, costly and cash backed bank guarantee.
- Fast – you can get your Deposit Power bond within seconds of the bond being issued.
- Save thousands! Where settlement is more than 6 months away, customers are far better off leaving their cash in either their home loan offset or in a high interest saving account.

- Secure and trusted – Deposit Power bonds are A+ rated, secure, trusted and widely accepted.
