Out of the country when my Bond matures.

I have a fixed term bond which will mature whilst I’m out of the country, so needed to know options available. Lisa Adams answered my call promptly and immediately understood my predicament. She was polite, professional, spoke clearly and obviously understood her subject matter - how refreshing. I decided on my best option which Lisa actioned immediately. Reviewed on: 20th January 2026
