About ING home loans

ING is notable for having some of the best savings accounts in Australia, but it also offers home loans to home buyers, refinancers and investors. It has three options for borrowers: the no-frills Mortgage Simplifier and the Orange Advantage for those who want an offset account – both on a variable rate. There’s also the Fixed Rate Home Loan with terms ranging from one to five years.

Our verdict

ING’s Mortgage Simplifier is a basic home loan that gives you the confidence of being with an established bank, while also offering interest rates that undercut what’s available from the Big Four.

Borrowers with a loan-to-value ratio (LVR) of 80% or less can access a variable rate of 6.14% p.a., which puts it significantly below the average variable of 6.75% p.a. in the Mozo database (as at 15 October, 2024).

While we like ING’s competitive rates, the lender would be more compelling if it also rewarded borrowers with a lower LVR by giving them a better interest rate. For now, ING doesn’t offer tiered interest rates based on your loan-to-value ratio, so those with an LVR of less than 70%, 60% or 50% will get the same rate as those with an LVR of 80% or less.

ING’s Mortgage Simplifier does allow for unlimited extra repayments at no cost, which could help you pay off your home loan faster and spend less on interest over time. For added peace of mind, any extra repayments you do make can be taken out from your home loan redraw at no cost to you.

For those looking for smaller ways to pay down their home loan, ING’s Mortgage Simplifier comes with a neat feature called Everyday Round Up. It works by rounding up purchases made using your linked ING bank card (to the nearest $1 or $5) and putting that amount towards your home loan.

How to make the most out of your ING home loan

Here’s our tips for getting the most out of an ING home loan:

ING home loans: FAQs

Which bank owns ING Australia?

ING is a wholly owned subsidiary of ING Group, and it has been operating in Australia since 1999.

Does ING have branches in Australia?

ING doesn’t have any customer branches in Australia, but you are able to speak to customer representatives in-person at the ING Lounge at 60 Margaret Street, Sydney.

Is ING guaranteed by the Australian government?

Yes, ING has been licensed by the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA) since 1994, which guarantees savings balances of up to $250,000 per customer.

What repayment options does ING offer?

ING allows you to make fortnightly or monthly repayments, provided you’re paying off your home loan with principal and interest. If you’ve switched to interest only, your repayments must be made monthly.

You can make extra repayments at any time on an ING home loan. Those on a variable rate can make unlimited additional repayments without paying a fee, while those on ING’s fixed rate home loan have extra payments capped at $10,000 for each fixed year.

Does ING offer repayment holidays?

A repayment holiday is when your lender pauses your home loan repayments for a set period of time. ING offers repayment holidays to borrowers who are experiencing financial hardship and are able to provide supporting documentation.

To apply for financial support, you can log in to ING’s internet banking, email the financial support team or call 1300 349 166. Visit the website for more information.
