How do I apply for an ING home loan?
When applying for any home loan, you will need various documents to establish your identity, your financial situation, employment status and details about the property.
Eligibility
Each ING product has specific eligibility criteria but some will apply to all products. For example:
Age. You must be over 18 years of age.
Residency. You should be a resident of Australia.
Employment. You should have a regular source of income.
Documents required
When you apply for a mortgage with ING you are required to provide certain information so make sure you have all your documents ready before you apply. The documents you will be expected to provide are:
📄 Property details. You can start a loan enquiry before you've bought a property. But to complete an application you need the address of the property and a signed contract of sale.
📄 Identification documents. You will need identification such as a driver's licence, passport or birth certificate.
📄 Proof of income documents. Recent payslips can establish your income.
📄 Asset and liability documents. You need to provide documents showing your current assets (savings accounts, investments) and liabilities (your outstanding debt).

More home loan questions
To make sure you find the right ING loan, you need a clear idea of what you're looking for in a mortgage. These simple questions can help:
Are you comfortable applying online? Because ING is an online lender you need to be comfortable completing the entire home loan process via the web (with phone and chat support).
Fixed or variable? Do you want the flexibility of a variable rate loan that could rise or fall at any time? Or are you happy to lock in a fixed rate for a certain period so you can forget about rate changes at all?
What features do you need? If you want a 100% account with your home loan, make sure the ING loan you're interested in has this feature before you apply.
Home loan pre-approval is an optional step in the application process that some lenders offer. Pre-approval means a lender has examined your savings, income and spending habits and has a rough idea of how much it could lend you. It's not the same as full loan approval and it's no guarantee that the lender will ultimately approve a full application. But it does allow borrowers to start looking for a home with more confidence and a clearer idea of their borrowing power.
Pre-aproval is not something every lender offers, but many do.
Most Australian borrowers bank with one of the Big Four (Commbank, ANZ, Westpac and NAB). You might have some concerns about getting a loan from a smaller lender. But there's no reason to worry about going with a smaller lender.
In Australia, banks and lenders are regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) or the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and must comply with the National Consumer Credit Protection Act.
ING is an authorised deposit-taking institution (ADI). This means customers with money deposited in a ING savings account benefit from the deposit guarantee scheme. This federal government scheme guarantees a customer's savings up to $250,000. Even if the bank itself collapses.
Deciding between a fixed or variable rate depends on what you want from the loan. A variable rate loan can change at any time, either up or down. A variable rate usually offers more flexibility in how fast you can repay the loan and the cost of refinancing.
A fixed rate loan offers total certainty about your rate, for the fixed period. This means it won't rise, costing you more. But if your lender starts lowering rates you won't benefit either. Refinancing a fixed rate loan means breaking the loan, because you've agreed to a specific rate. This means you may have to pay a fixed rate break fee.
Mortgage brokers are home loan professionals who can help you find a suitable loan. A broker typically charges you no fee, because they receive a commission from your lender. Brokers are great if you are short on time or find the whole process of researching and applying for a home loan confusing. But you can definitely do it yourself and find a good loan. You may even find a better deal. That's because brokers don't compare loans from every lender in the market. They have access to a panel of loans and often don't have smaller online lenders in their panel.

I have been with ING for many years, love the savings account. Just wondering whether I would be eligible for a home loan based on the fact that I own a unit in Sydney ( Naremburn ) which is now valued at approx $600,000. I am currently studying and no longer earning an income as such, but have an allocated pension from my super of $763.00 per fortnight.Also receive a very small amount from Centrelink as Austudy. Would love to hear whether I have any options. Kindest Regards, Barbara
