Key features

$0 account keeping fees

You don't have to pay any application or account keeping fees to open and maintain an ING Term Deposit.

Competitive interest rates

Your interest rate depends on your chosen term deposit duration. If you deposit at least $10,000 for just 12 months, you'll receive a competitive 4.2% p.a..

Terms from 90 days to two years

Choose to lock away your money for as little or as long as you'd like, from 90 days to two years and several options in between.

Deposit additional funds upon renewal

You cannot make deposits during the account's term, but can add funds when rolling over the account at renewal time to get more out of your investment in the next term.

Link any Australian bank account

Link an existing ING or external bank account to your term deposit for quick and easy transfers and payouts.

Multiple options at maturity

When your term reaches maturity you can renew the term deposit in its entirety along with the principal and interest, renew just the principal amount and keep the interest, or you can close the account entirely and withdraw everything to your nominated Australian bank account. The choice is yours!

31 days notice to access funds before maturity

If you need the funds early, you can access the funds in your term deposit before the term comes to an end. To do this you have to give ING at least 31 days notice, although in the case of hardship ING can make an exception.

Hi Brian,

You can calculate your returns using our term deposit calculator. And yes, you can renew your term deposit for a 6-month period after withdrawing the interest. You must choose to reinvest only the principal amount and not the interest earned when the maturity instructions are set. After the renewal, the new term will be subject to the prevailing interest rate and conditions at that time.

Hope this helps!

Can I request the interest on maturity be paid into my St George bank?

Hi Janet,

No, the interest is paid on maturity automatically to your ING account, but you can do an instant bank transfer on the day it is credited.

At the end of a 12 month term, what is the difference in capital amount if $200k is invested in a term deposit at 5.3% with interest paid at maturity compared with interest paid monthly?

Hi Steven,

You can use a term deposit calculator to work this out. I tried and found there was no difference between the 2 options. You can ask ING about this for more details.
