If you’re in the market for a home loan with repayment certainty and flexible loan features, ING's Fixed Rate Loan ticks these boxes. The Fixed Rate Loan is ideal if you want to lock in a rate from 1 year to a period up to 5 years and you can choose to make repayments on a fortnightly or monthly basis. It is available from a starting amount of $50,000 and you can borrow up to 95% LVR which means you’ll only need a 5% deposit. There are no application or ongoing monthly fees and you can make up to $10,000 a year in additional repayments without penalty. And if you combine your Fixed Rate Loan with ING's Orange Advantage home loan, you’ll receive a discount on the advertised fixed interest rates. There is also a rate lock feature available which can safeguard you against rising interest rates for up to 90 days prior to the settlement of the loan, but you’ll be charged a one off fee.

ING’s variable options have everything you’re looking for in a full featured variable home loan and more. There are two variable home loans on offer that are available from a starting amount of $50,000. With ING’s variable home loans you can make unlimited extra repayments without penalty and redraw as you please. If you’re borrowing more than $150,000 you may be eligible for an interest rate discount and further discounts apply if you’re borrowing up to 90% of the property’s value (conditions apply). While you’ll be charged an annual fee for the Orange Everyday account, you can make up for the cost by taking advantage of its money saving features including a 100% offset account, a split loan facility that rewards you with interest rate discounts and a loyalty cash back offer which gets you 1% cash back on your monthly home loan repayments of up to $3,000 (conditions apply).

Choosing the right home loan is an important investment for your future so it’s good to get a second opinion. Why not the opinion of thousands of Australians that reviewed their home loan provider using Mozo’s rate and review service? Here is how the Mozo community scored ING home loans.
Great, easy to use online app. Good flexibility. Was good rates at the time we got it (2.5 years ago) but not as competitive now. Offset accounts feature is good and ability to have fixed and variable portions. No ATM fees which is great.

Treatment of long-time customers is shocking and shabby. I used to bank with ING - simple products and easy to use generally though you have to be disciplined with something like the Mortgage Simplifier as it is all in one pot - the home loan and the offset. Beware if you want to leave them. I had my home loans with them. We were looking to refinance and buy a new property. All tracking along well initially but at the 11th hour of moving forward, they changed their rules unilaterally to not lend at all to those running a business. Doesn't matter I was a long-time customer with all my finances there and all paid on time every time just a straight 'we can't help you and further more, you have to move.' Found another bank (better rate and features too actually) during the refinancing and their discharge - there were suddenly more fees added without notice including their legals that I have no say over and that changed since those that were sent to me when I took out the home loan. Will never go back and managed to remove all my savings and super from them too. What a shoddy way to treat a long time customer. Only seem to be interested in shiny new ones!

Brillian, I have contacted customer service a number of times and they have been very helpful. Rates are competitive much better than the big 4 banks.

As far as banks go, I'm really happy with ING, especially the customer service peeps, they are so lovely and helpful. Also, I never pay ATM fees, I get 50c when I withdraw $200+ cash out. They have helped immensely when I was struggling to pay my mortgage and I can split the loans, as well as enjoying redraw on my variable home loan.

I was surprised to see how fast and effective the team was at responding to questions/attending needs, despite the fact that ING does not have a branch anywhere. At first, I truly thought it'd be a hassle to get in touch with someone in case of emergency, but they have proved to be way more fast and efficient than any other bank I used to work with.
