How the Finder Score helps you find a better savings account

The Finder Score is a simple score out of 10. The higher a savings account's score, the better we think it is for the average customer.

We score each savings account in our database of hundreds based on a data-driven methodology with 2 main criteria: Does the account offer a high interest rate? And is it easy for savers to actually earn that rate?

Pros and cons of banking with ING

Pros

  • No account-keeping fees. ING Orange Everyday, Savings Maximiser, Savings Accelerator and term deposit accounts don’t attract any ongoing account-keeping fees.
  • No ATM or foreign transaction fees. You can access free ATM withdrawals around the globe and pay no international transaction fees.
  • Easy account access. While you can access funds in your everyday account using a Visa debit card that is payWave enabled, you can also access the account using phone banking or ING online and mobile banking platforms.
  • Round-the-clock customer service. You can speak to an ING representative 24/7 by calling its Australia-based customer service call centre.
  • Regulated. ING is regulated by The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and is included in the Australian Government Guarantee Scheme for combined balances of up to $250,000.

Cons

  • No branches. ING does not have any bank branches in Australia, other than its customer information centre in Sydney.
  • No ATMs. ING also doesn't have any ATMs, but you can use any big bank ATM for free.
  • Savings account conditions. ING is known for offering a competitive bonus savings rate. However, the conditions to earn its bonus rate may be difficult to meet for some people and are more complex than other accounts in the market.

How to apply for a ING savings account

Applying online for a new bank account is fast and easy. You'll need identity documents such as your driving licence or passport. For more about the process, check out our full guide to opening an account online.

      Hi Phillip,

      Thanks for your question.

      ING is still preparing to launch their first credit card this year.

      If you are looking to apply for a credit card, you may compare your options through our main credit card page.

      Cheers,

    I have a current home loan with ING. Do ING do personal loans OR extend home loans so that the client can purchase a motor vehicle or conduct home renovations?

      MayApril 7, 2017Finder

      Hi Jim,

      Thank you for your inquiry.

      Sorry for the delayed reply. I’m afraid that there’s no personal loan product offered by ING Direct. But if you want, you can check our list of personal loan options with other lenders through our website.

      Meantime, you can also check lenders who offer car loans.

      In case you also need to find out the lenders that offer home loans for renovation, they are listed on our home improvement loan page

      Alternatively, you can contact ING Direct to confirm if you can extend your current home loan with them.

      Cheers,
      May

      Hi Nicole,

      Thank you for your question and for contacting Finder!

      Just to confirm, are you referring to ING DIRECT Orange Everyday Account? If so, the answer is yes. You can open more than one ING Orange Account and separately.

      Moreover, it is worth noting that you can also open this account as joint account holders.

      Before you use any financial product, Nicole, please read through their terms, conditions, and features to see if they are the right choice or not.

      I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.

      Have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      May

    Can you please clarify? I am looking at an Orange Everyday account and a Maximiser account and I find the online information a bit ambiguous. It says “If you have an Orange Everyday bank account, and your account receives at least $1,000 each month in the form of pay, you stand to get a higher interest rate”. Does this mean that $1000 per month should go into the Orange Everyday account or into the Maximiser account? If it goes into the Orange everyday account, how does that work with the interest earned in the Maximiser account?

      Hi Annette,

      Thanks for your question.

      The ING DIRECT Savings Maximiser is basically an interest-earning online savings account. You will need to link a transaction account which is called an ING DIRECT Orange Everyday Account to your Savings Maximiser so that you will be able to transfer money in and out of the (Savings Maximiser) account.

      In order for you to receive the maximum variable rate of 3.00% p.a. on your Savings Maximiser, you’ll need to link your Orange Everyday Account to it and deposit $1,000+ into your everyday account each month. Please note that the Orange Everyday account does not earn interest. It is your debit card that you can use for your transactions.

      Hope this has answered your question.

      Cheers,
      May
