ING is one of Australia's most popular lenders, outside of the big four banks. ING is also a popular bank with savers and the ING Savings Maximiser account has, for many years, been one of Australia's market leading at-call savings accounts. ING is basically an online lender without a large branch network.

ING Savings Maximiser rate falls below 2%
ING's most popular at-call savings account, the Savings Maximiser and ING's transaction account, the Orange Everyday account, have long been popular with savers. The combination of the two accounts gives consumers a good bonus rate and a transaction account without account keeping fees, transaction fees or ATM fees (terms and conditions apply).
The Savings Maximiser rate has been cut to 0.25 per cent pa (down from 0.50 per cent pa in September) plus a bonus rate of 1.70 per cent to make a maximum rate of 1.95 per cent pa.
ING's other at-call savings account, the Savings Accelerator, now offers a maximum rate of 1.50 per cent pa (down from 1.75 per cent pa in September).
ING cuts term deposit rates
ING's top term deposit rates are now 1.70 per cent pa available on 6-month and 9-month terms. ING's Business and SMSF term deposit products have the same rates as ING's personal term deposits.
ING still popular as a travel card
The ING Visa debit card with an Orange Everyday transaction account is a popular choice for Australian travellers because it offers free overseas ATM withdrawals and no foreign transaction fees. To get this deal you have to deposit $1,000 per month into the account and make five or more card purchases per month.
ING also refunds any ATM fees that the ATM charges you when overseas, and in Australia.
