What rate 6 month term deposit for $ 1m
Hi Miled,
As of January 31, 2025, the 12-month term deposit with ING had an interest rate of 4.70% per annum. Note that rates are reviewed and updated daily, so this may change.
We currently have an Orange Everyday account with two linked Savings Maximiser accounts. We are looking at an account to park a larger sum. Can we “split” the amount and put each 50% into each of the Savings Maximisers, or best to start a new Savings Accelerator to park the whole amount.
Thanks
Scott
Hi Scott,
I suggest talking to ING directly about this. At Finder we can’t give people personal financial advice.
Does ING offer investment home loans?
Hi Superman,
Thanks for getting in touch with Finder. I hope all is well with you. 😃
Yes, you can learn more about ING’s investment home loans. On the page, you will see a table that compares ING home loans. You can use the built-in filters to only view investment loans. You can then click on the “Enquire now” button to learn more.
Please make sure that you’ve read the relevant T&Cs or PDS of the loan products before making a decision. Moreover, check the eligibility requirements as well and consider whether the product is right for you.
Alternatively, you can speak to a mortgage broker, a professional who compares and helps you apply for home loans on your behalf. A good mortgage broker will give you personalised service all the way through to settlement.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out again.
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Joshua
Hi, I am on student visa at the moment. Is it possible for me to open a savings account with ING?
Hi Kasia,
Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.
I’m afraid that you may not apply for an ING account since you’re on a student Visa. Basically, ING accepts applicants who are Australian residents for taxation purposes. You may refer to our list of bank accounts for international students. You can use our comparison table to help you find the lender that suits you. When you are ready, press the ‘Go to site’ button to apply.
Please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you. You can also contact the provider if you have specific questions.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Jeni
