The ING Orange Everyday Transaction Account is ideal for both day-to-day use in Australia and also overseas. If you deposit $1000 per month and make 5+ card purchases a month, you’ll have the first 5 ATM withdrawal fees refunded back into your account each month. This account used to offer unlimited free ATM transactions, however it's now capped at the first 5 each month. You'll still pay no international transaction fees, when the account conditions are met.
These perks make this account a great travel money option. Just make sure you can meet the monthly deposit requirement, if you can’t you’ll be charged an international transaction fee of 2.5% on each purchase overseas (and online from overseas sites!).
ING's Everyday Round Up tool means you can opt in to having your transactions rounded up with the remaining digital change added to your linked ING savings account. This is a helpful feature to help you save money without thinking about it. Plus, the 1% cashback offer on utility bills could see you save up to $100 a year.

I’m an Australian living in the US and want to open a bank account back home in Australia. I need to be able to transfer funds easily (and either for free or low fees) from my bank in the US to the bank in Australia. I also cannot open it in person or visit to verify identity for quite some time. Could you recommend a bank to fit those needs?

Hi Angel,
If you will continue to reside in the US and have no immediate plans to come back to Australia, you can check for a US local bank that has international ties with a bank in Australia and see if you can open an account.
However, if you are coming back within the next few months, you can easily open an account online. The four big banks in Australia, National Australia Bank (NAB), Commonwealth Bank (CBA), Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ Bank), and Westpac, allow potential customers from overseas to open an Australian bank account online and you can even do this before you get to Australia.
You’ll need to have a verifiable physical address in Australia and upload all required documentation such as your passport, a valid ID, and income details. In some cases, you’ll need to provide your exact date of arrival in Australia when you apply for an account. Banks typically require you to arrive anywhere between 3 and 12 months after your application.
I hope this helps!

Alison

Hi Yame,
Due to ING Orange Everyday transaction account’s residency requirement, you won’t qualify for this type of account.
You can explore your bank account options on our International students: Here’s how to open a bank account in Australia guide.
I hope this helps!
Thanks,

Hi, my husband and I want to open an account in you bank. He is Australian citizen, but I am at the moment on my partner visa (Temporal residence) I am applying at the moment for my permanent residence as I have been already for 2 years holding this visa.
Are we allow to open a joint account everyday transaction and a savings maximiser? or only is He allow to?
October 13, 2021
Hi Erika,
I understand your concern in wanting to know if you can open a joint account with your husband.
Orange Everyday accounts can be opened as a joint account, however, both account holders will need to apply and meet the eligibility criteria.
To open an account, you must be an Australian resident with an Australian mobile number and an email address. You’ll need to provide at least two forms of ID such as a Medicare card, a driver’s license, or a passport.
During the application process, you will be asked to enter your personal details and whether the account is to be opened in joint names. You will be asked to enter the joint account holder’s name and email address of the secondary account holder. This will then generate an email to the secondary account holder with instructions on how to complete their part of the application.
Visit ING’s website to know more and to open your joint account.
You can also call their customer support at 133 464 for further assistance.
I hope this helps!
Regards,
Alison

I have an ING account which I use for my home loan. I am going overseas this week and normally use an ANZ travel card. To be eligible to take advantage of the no fees on withdrawals and currency conversion do I need to have been placing funds into that account for a period of time?
Also in the response to Brian below re ATM fees overseas, the response is “Please note that a foreign exchange and other ATM fees may apply when using the ATM overseas.” I don’t understand as I thought that if the $1000 deposit and 5 withdrawals are complied with there are no fees.
Thank you.

Hi Francine,
Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.
To be eligible for the ING Orange Everyday account’s no overseas ATM withdrawal fee and international transaction fees, you need to deposit $1,000 and make 5+ card purchases a month. In relation to Brian’s query, you may disregard the disclaimer as changes to ING’s international fees were effective on the 1st of March 2018.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Jeni

When I use my ING Visa Debit card at an ATM here in Australia or overseas what account type do i specify at the ATM eg Savings/Cheque/Everyday etc etc. Thanks
May 29, 2019
Hi Howard,
Thanks for your inquiry!
Here are some tips on how you would withdraw funds from your ING Visa Debit Card at any ATM locally or overseas.
Every debit card payment terminal you see at a supermarket, service station, or any other retailer in Australia has three buttons: cheque, savings, and credit. Let’s take a closer look at what would happen if you pressed each one after swiping your card:
You can also check our review on the difference between credit, cheque, or savings.
Hope this was helpful. Don’t hesitate to message us back if you have more questions.
Best,
Nikki
