Rate change: ING raises home loan rates

home-and-garden-in-australia-with-sun-shining

Online bank ING has announced that it will be lifting interest rates on a number of its fixed and variable home loans by 10-30 basis points effective tomorrow (February 3).

The changes will see variable interest rates increase on the bank’s Orange Advantage loan, and fixed rates increase on both its Fixed Rate Loan and Fixed Rate Loan (with Orange Advantage) products.

As a result, the new lowest rates available on each loan will be:

LoanInterest rate
Orange Advantage2.14% p.a. variable rate (2.50% p.a. comparison rate*) for owner occupiers (<80% LVR)
Fixed Rate Loan2.44% p.a. fixed rate (3.97% p.a. comparison rate*) on a 1-year term for owner occupiers (<80% LVR)
Fixed Rate Loan (with Orange Advantage)2.34% p.a. fixed rate (3.96% p.a. comparison rate*) on a 1-year term for owner occupiers (<80% LVR)

Since November, 78 different lenders being tracked in the Mozo database have increased over 2,500 fixed mortgage rates, so ING’s move to lift a number of its own fixed rates doesn’t come as a surprise.

What is interesting is the bank's decision to lift rates on its variable Orange Advantage loan, because most lenders have been moving variable rates in the other direction in recent months. In fact, ING reduced rates on that loan by up to 25 basis points as recently as November.

However, rates on ING’s other variable rate loan - the Mortgage Simplifier - will remain unchanged.

Owner occupiers with an LVR below 80% can currently access rates as low as 1.99% p.a. (2.02% p.a. comparison rate*) with the Mortgage Simplifier, which is among the lowest variable rates available among lenders being tracked in the Mozo database.
