ING Direct - Savings Maximiser 3.0% Interest Rate

3940

ING Direct - Savings Maximiser 3.0% - December 12th

It looks like ING Direct will be increasing their interest rate on their Savings Maximiser to 3.0% on December 12th.
https://www.ingdirect.com.au/savings.html

Their website is not fully updated. But it was also reported in The Australian:

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/financial-services/…

The only banks higher then this - with no stupid 4 month only offers are:
  • ME Bank (3.05%) - Catch is you need to do a tap and go payment every week or you dont get the bonus interest.
  • RAMS (3.15%) - catch is you can't move your money out or you don't get the interest.

The positive with ING is that there is very few catches to actually obtain the 3% interest assuming you have your salary going into your Orange Everyday transaction account. Which in itself is still an excellent card to have due to being able to withdraw money from any ATM in Australia (including the no name ones in Pubs and Bars) and the ATM Fee's are credited instantly (Unlike ME Bank which take up to 30 days). Combine that with a very good online banking website, app and customer service. And the fact that every Australia Post is basically your 'bank branch'.

Edit: Conditions: For customers who also have an Orange Everyday bank account and deposit their pay of $1,000+ each month. Available on one account for balances up to $100,000

  • Just noticed this in an email I got regarding the referral…

    If you use this offer in a manner that is not satisfactory to us or in line with the intent of the offer (such as sharing your referral code on the ‘OzBargain’ website or other similar websites, or advertising or marketing your referral code), we may refuse to pay the cash bonus (including in respect of any or all referrals made in relation to the offer). This includes conduct on your part which is designed to undermine the fair and intended operation of the offer.

  • Its $100 Bonus now instead of $75 last year - plus all other product features including 3% interest.

    • Not necessarily. It seems different people are getting different amounts, ranging from $25 to $100. See: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/287045

      • Ok .. I got this email yesterday and the mailer says both you and your friend will get the $100 bonus..

  • Yesterday, the ING app was suddenly showing 2.90% instead of 3.00%.
    Today it is back to normal.
    Hopefully not a sign of what's to come…

    • +1

      Just got an email saying they are reducing base rate by 0.1% and increasing bonus rate by 0.1%. You must have checked when they have just updated the base rate, but have not updated the bonus rate.

  • +3

    just dropped to 2.80% according to the ing direct website

    • Guess those "every day Australian" actors are more expensive than Isla … :P

      Meanwhile, that puts UBank above ING (and RAMS and ME Bank are above UBank)

      • RaboDirect has 3.05% for 4 months hmm
