Key features
Minimum deposit amount
In order to take advantage of this account you must be able to deposit at least $10,000.
Competitive interest rates
A fixed rate of interest at a competitive rate is applied to your balance. These are tiered to give you the highest rates when you choose the longest terms.
How is the interest calculated?
Interest begins to accrue the same day you make your opening deposit into the account. It is then calculated daily and paid into the account the day before the terms end.
Your options for early termination
If you need to close the account before the maturity date, interest will be adjusted to reflect the amount of time your deposit was in the account. This is done by calculating the percentage of time you had the account active. For example, if less than 20% of your chosen term passed before the early withdrawal, the interest rate will be reduced by 90%. It is also important to note that if you do choose to end the account early, you will have to give ING 31 days notice.
Reaching maturity
You have up until the day before maturity to instruct ING on how you wish to proceed with your term deposit. You can choose to withdraw the funds or roll them into a new account with or without the earned interest. You are given a seven day grace period after starting your new term deposit to make changes to the terms, balance or to have the funds returned to you.
The terms available
The terms you can choose from range from three months to two years.
Linked bank account
In order to make transfers into the term deposit or to have your money returned to you, you will need to nominate an account either with ING or another Australian financial institution. Compare other ING products here.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of banks, insurers and product issuers. We value our editorial independence and follow editorial guidelines.
finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan.
Products marked as 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money here.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
