Static Trust Deed

A static trust is where an amount equal to the maximum liability the PTE would have in the event of course closure is held in trust. The static trust does not rely on student fees being paid into the trust account and there are no periodic drawdowns.

Bank Bond Trust Deed

A bank bond is where the PTE arranges for a bank to cover the maximum liability the PTE would have in the event of a course closure. PTE’s using a bank bond trust mechanism must also use a standard trust mechanism for the refund period.
