7.90%p.a. variable interest from 9 May to 30 September 2008 for all for new and existing Savings Maximiser customers.

How it works:

  • New customers:
    Open a Savings Maximiser account between 9 May 2008 and 30 September 2008 and receive a special promotional rate of 7.90% p.a. variable interest on the balance of your account until 30 September 2008.

  • Existing customers:
    Everything you deposit above the balance of your Savings Maximiser as at 11.59pm on 24 April 2008 will earn a special promotional rate of 7.90% p.a. variable interest from 9 May 2008 until 30 September 2008.

How is this higher than BankWest TeleNet Saver promotion at 8.25% until 1 Jan 2009?

It’s not ‘the highest around’ but is one of the highest around. Hope that answers your question. :)

Alright. I must have missed the “One of” bit :)

Thumbs up from me.

About time considering how unfavourably the 6.90% standard variable rate compares to other savers.

Bankwest also offers the higher rate to existing account holders based on funds in excess of what was in the account as at 30th April. BUT it goes to january next year which is a further 4 months longer than ING. Given its also .35% higher. Bankwest is also opening branches throughout the Eastcoast - ING isn’t. I think ING are resting on their past reputation.

You may want to edit title to show the “one of” rather than as it implies it “IS the”

Or are too lazy to transfer the fund out (which I personally know many are!)

Well I think ING DIRECT will be changing focus when they launch their own everyday transaction account later this year or early next year. From what I know it will be a totally fee free account with BPAY, VISA or MasterCard debit card and access to any ATM.

Haha, sorry no link. You could try to get something out of their customer service 1800 133 464. Other than that its just some inside information. I’ll sure be quick to snap it up when it comes up. It’s going to be like ING DIRECT US’s “Electric Orange” account, link: https://home.ingdirect.com/products/products.asp?s=ElectricO....

Did the calculations for myself, comparing money already in Raboplus, earning compound interest everyday, compared with transferring money to my chequing account, funds clearing, then to ING. Even if it’s only 5 days to clear at 0% … ING’s extra 0.01% isn’t worth it for me.
