When you look at your bank balance are you disappointed it's not growing faster? Does saving seem like hard work?
With an Automatic Savings Plan, saving is so easy you could almost do it in your sleep. Plus we'll even reward you $50 in bonus interest for your efforts.
Here's how you could quickly build an impressive balance:
Start a new Automatic Savings Plan of $400 or more each month from July 2011, and keep it running until at least 30 November 2011
You'll earn a competitive variable interest rate daily on your savings and pay no ING DIRECT fees
We'll reward you with $25 bonus interest in September, and another $25 bonus interest in December 2011
If you make no withdrawals until the end of the year, you could have an extra $2,475 in your Savings Maximiser by New Year's Eve, or even more if you save over $400 a month.
With help from us you can save a lot with very little hassle. Once it's set up it requires no more effort, just set and forget, and be on your way to developing a regular savings habit.
Don't wait. It's easy to start an Automatic Savings Plan and build your balance, even while you're sleeping.

I got this email too. It's subject line was: "Like an extra $2,475 by New Year’s Eve?"
That bordering on Misleading and Deceptive considering $2,400 of the $2,475 is already your money…
It's an OK offer I guess, but if you keep the $2,400 in UBank @ 6.51% you'll earn an extra $36 more than if it's in ingdirect @ 5.00% (existing customer rate) anyway. Not sure that I can be bothered changing back for $14.
