About
A rate board, not a product
Cash Park Index lists places Australian DIY investors park cash between investments: savings accounts, term deposits, and cash ETFs. It is a publishing project. It does not take deposits and it does not manage money.
The useful version of this comparison is the annoying part: the bonus test, the month the intro ends, the balance the headline rate actually covers, and whether the thing is a deposit at all. Those details are the product.
Rates live in a typed file in the repository, src/data/products.ts, so they can be updated without a content system. Each row has to carry a source URL and the day it was checked. The build fails if one is missing.
This is general information. It is not personal financial advice, not a product recommendation, and not an offer. Cash Park Index does not hold an Australian financial services licence. If that ever changes, this page will say so before anything else does.
We do not publish testimonials. A quote about how happy someone was with a rate would not make the rate more true.
How a row is put together is on the methodology page. Mistakes and stale rates can be sent through the contact page.
