How do I get the highest Savings Maximiser variable rate?

To be eligible for our highest variable rate on your nominated Savings Maximiser you will need to hold an Orange Everyday bank account and complete the following each month:
 
 * Deposit $1,000+ from an external bank account to any personal ING account in your name (excluding Living Super and Orange One)
 * make 5+ card purchases that are settled (and not at a 'pending status') each month (excluding ATM withdrawals, balance enquiries, cash advances, BPAY transactions, Direct Debits using an account number, EFTPOS cash out only transactions and any transaction that does not use a card number)
 * Grow your balance of the nominated Savings Maximiser in the same calendar month. This just means that the balance must be higher at the end of the month (not including interest) than it was at the end of the previous month.
 
 The rate is applied in the calendar month after you’ve met the eligibility criteria, and is available on one nominated Savings Maximiser account only for balances up to $100,000.

How do you calculate the interest on my Savings Maximiser?

Your interest is calculated daily on the closing balance and added to your account at the end of each month, so you earn interest on your interest. The formula we use is:
 
 Daily closing balance x interest rate (as a percentage) / 365
 
 Please note that differences in interest month to month, when no transactions have occurred on your account, is due to the number of days in each month i.e. March has 31 days and April has 30 days, therefore one day less interest is accrued.

Does ING have ATMs or ATM fees?

We don't have any ATMs. Not having branches or ATMs saves us money, that's why we don't charge you additional fees for using any of the ATMs in Australia. That's right, every bank, service station, corner store, pub and more - anywhere in Australia.
 
 Domestic and International ATM operators, however, may charge you fees to use their ATMs and if you’re using your ING card to withdraw cash from an ATM overseas then an ING international ATM withdrawal fee will also apply. However, each month that you are eligible, you can access rebates on:
 
 For Orange Everyday: The first 5 fee incurring ATM withdrawals (excludes International ATM operator fees)
 For Orange One:  Fees incurred for ATM withdrawals (excludes International ATM operator fees)
 ING rebate domestic ATM operator fees and ING International ATM withdrawal fees, we don't rebate International ATM operator fees, for both Orange Everyday and Orange One.  
 
 To qualify for these rebates in any month, you need to meet the following requirements in the previous calendar month: 
 
 Deposit $1,000+ from an external source (such as your pay) to any personal ING account in your name (excluding Living Super and Orange One) and also 
 Make 5+ card purchases that are settled (and not at a ‘pending’ status) each month using your ING debit or credit card (excluding ATM withdrawals, balance enquiries, cash advances, BPAY transactions, direct debits using an account number and eftpos cash out only transactions).
 Settled card purchases require purchases to be fully processed by the end of the month. Card purchases made this current calendar month which are at a ‘pending status’ and do not settle until the next calendar month do not count towards the 5 card purchases needed this current calendar month.
 
 If you are an ING home loan customer or an Orange Everyday Youth customer, you are automatically eligible for these ATM withdrawal fee rebates (so, you won’t need to complete the above steps).
 
 The Orange One cash advance fee is not rebated under this offer.


How will you verify my identity?

ING may use a third party provider to verify your identity. Alternatively, there are a range of Identification Documents that can be sent to ING to confirm this. The Identification Document that you choose to send in, must be a certified copy of the original or the original document itself.

 Where your Term Deposit is closed early, the funds will be transferred to your nominated linked bank account.


What happens at the maturity of my Term Deposit?

When your Term Deposit matures - that is, reaches the end of its term - you have a few options. It really depends on whether you want to keep saving or get your hands on your money.
 
 You'll be asked to choose from the following maturity options when you apply for your Term Deposit. Remember, you can change this choice at any time online (up until 1 business day before maturity).
 
 1. Renew Term Deposit - Principal & Interest
 Choose this option if you want the total amount in your Term Deposit to be renewed - for the same time period - upon maturity.
 
 2. Renew Term Deposit - Principal Only
 Choose this option if you want the interest earned during the Term Deposit to be transferred to your linked bank account. We will then renew the Term Deposit using your original deposit amount.
 
 3. Close the Term Deposit
 Choose this option if you want all of your money - the original deposit amount plus any interest earned - transferred back into your linked account.
 
 On the day your Term Deposit matures, we'll act on your chosen instructions. If you chose option 2 or 3, we'll transfer the money to your linked bank account. If this linked account is an ING account, the money will appear immediately. For non-ING accounts, please see our clearance times.
 
 To change your maturity instructions, please refer to: How can I change my maturity options on my Term Deposit?
 
 Grace Period
 All Personal Term Deposits that roll over benefit from a 'grace period' of 7 calendar days, starting from the maturity date.

I am travelling overseas, how will this affect my security chip?

Absolutely.
 
 When you are travelling overseas, we strongly recommend that you know the Personal Identification Number (PIN) for your Visa Credit or Debit card.
 
 Many countries use chip and PIN technology, so if you don't know your PIN you may not be able to use your card at certain international merchant terminals.
 
 Letting us know about your international travel helps us monitor your card for suspicious activity and may help prevent any unnecessary blocks on overseas transactions. 
 You can do this in the new ING App: 
  
 1.Log in to your ING App and tap More     
 2.Select Manage accounts > Travelling overseas
 3.Select your departure date, your return date, and your travel destinations > tap Continue 
 4.Review your details before your hit Continue again. 
  
 Note: The travel alert is active for a maximum of 30 days from the day you submit it (not the departure date). It’s a good idea to set this up just before you leave if you’re going for an extended stay. If you’re still overseas 30 days from submitting a travel alert, remember to submit a new one in the ING App to cover the next 30 days. 
  


What is Card Authorisation?

When the final amount of a transaction is not yet known by the merchant at the time they seek an authorisation on your Visa card, the merchant may seek an initial authorisation for an estimated amount this is known as an ‘Estimated Authorisation’. 
 
 The merchant may then seek further authorisations to increase the amount of the Estimated Authorisation to reflect any additional charges that you incur, or additional purchases you make, with them.
 
 These are known as ‘Incremental Authorisations’.
 
 This is to establish there are sufficient funds in your account to cover the total value accrued with the merchant, and to temporarily hold those funds. Once you have completed your purchases with this merchant, the final total amount will then be processed as one single transaction. 
 For example, when you check into a hotel, an initial Estimated Authorisation of $200 may be placed on your card. If you order room service, the Estimated Authorisation may be increased to $250. The final payment will then be processed as a single transaction when the hotel completes the transaction at the time you check out. 
 
 Standard daily purchase limits apply.

 For ATMs in Australia, any ATM fee charged by the ATM operator is rebated immediately following the transaction. For overseas ATMs, the rebate will appear within five business days. Note though, as mentioned above, international ATM operator fees will not be rebated from 1 August 2023.
 
 When using the phrase 'settled' card purchases in a calendar month, we mean that the purchases made on your card must be fully processed by the end of the last day of that month. Card purchases made in store or online this current calendar month which are at a ‘pending status’ and do not settle until the next calendar month do not count towards the 5 card purchases needed this current calendar month.


What happens if the Savings Accelerator account balance falls below $50,000?

When the Savings Accelerator account balance falls below $50,000, a lower interest rate will be applied to the entire balance, although you will continue to earn interest on your savings. Once your account balance increases above $50,000, you will earn a more rewarding interest rate on your entire balance. If your balance is below $50,000 on a regular basis, then it might be worth considering our Savings Maximiser.


How will I know my account has been linked?

We will send you an SMS or email (if you have provided your mobile or email address) once the account has been linked successfully.
 
 We will also send you a message in your Online Banking.


What is the 7 calendar day grace period?

All Personal and Business Term Deposits that roll over on or after 31 October 2014 benefit from a ‘grace period’ of 7 calendar days, starting from the maturity date.
 
 During the grace period, changes can only be made by contacting us. A My Message is sent to confirm the change that has been made.
 
 Please visit the Contact Us page for our operating hours and contact numbers
 
 Note: this message supersedes the maturity letter that is automatically posted and if you close your account during the Grace Period, no My Message notification is sent. You will receive a closing statement in the next statement period.
 
 During the grace period you can close your Personal or Business Term Deposit without incurring a reduction in the interest rate that applies to your account. You can also change the amount of funds in your new account and/or change the term of your Term Deposit.     
 
 You can make changes to your Personal or Business Term Deposit during the grace period only once. So, for example, whilst you may change the term of your Personal Term Deposit on day 3 of the grace period, you cannot also add additional funds to your Personal Term Deposit on day 5 of the grace period.


What happens if I have forgotten my PIN?

You can change the PIN on your Visa Credit card in our app.
 
 1.Login to your ING App and select Cards

 The total/current balance incorporates all transactions that have been processed to the account.
 
 It may include funds which have been deposited but not yet cleared and therefore are not available for withdrawal.
 
 Likewise it may include recently withdrawn funds (or funds that are held under a Visa card authorisation) that are yet to be processed by the merchant. For more information on Visa Card Authorisations, see 'What is a pending authorisation?'
 
 Available Balance

Can I use the app while I'm overseas?

Yes. 
 
 However, certain transactions require use of SMS Security Codes, which can only be sent to the Australian mobile number that you have on file with ING. To use Security Codes while overseas (and to enable us to contact you), you’ll need to enable global roaming on your phone.
 
 You should check with your mobile phone provider if you will incur charges for this.


Do joint account holders receive the same access code?

You'll have the same account number on shared accounts, but individual client numbers and access codes.
 
 To be on the safe side, please keep your access code to yourself, and change it straight away if you think someone else may know it.


I entered the correct Customer Number and Access Code and I am still getting an error message

You may have locked yourself out of online banking.

 BPAY will then forward the funds to the Biller which may take 2 to 3 business days to reach the biller.


Can I register a non Australian mobile phone for security codes?

Yes, any mobile phone number can be used to register for Security Codes.


What are the clearance times for public holidays?

Public holidays impact the clearance times for transfers (excluding the NSW Bank Holiday & Labour Day) as follows:
 
 Internal transfers within ING will still transfer instantly (if you've transferred to that payee before), however transfers between banks will be impacted.
 For deposits in to your ING savings accounts, made by direct debit, you will need to add additional clearance time for any public holidays.
 Direct debit requests are held for three business days from the date of receipt, provided they are made before our cutoff time of 7pm Sydney time.
 So if a public holiday falls in this time, the funds will be held for four full days for example.
 This time allows for ING to receive confirmation from the paying financial institution that the funds are available.
 For withdrawals and Pay Anyone's to external bank accounts, you will also need to add an additional clearance day for any public holidays.
 If funds are transferred before our cut off time of 7pm, funds are generally transferred to your external bank account by the next business day.
 If you are transferring on a public holiday, or the next business day is a public holiday, you will need to allow an additional day for the funds to arrive.

Why do I need Security Codes?

Registration to receive a Security Code is for your added online banking protection and is required to conduct certain transactions. This is part of an enhanced security measure known as two factor authentication, being something you know (your existing Access Code) and something you have (your mobile phone, where you receive Security Codes via SMS). You'll be unable to access online or phone banking unless you're registered for them.


Why cant I view my online statements?

Sometimes, your PC settings will prevent us from being able to display your statements. The first thing to check is that your pop-ups are enabled as statements will open in a new window. So we need to get technical and check some settings on your computer.
 
 Adobe Acrobat Reader
 Check it is installed on your PC. If not, download a free version from Adobe. The recommended version is 8+.
 If it is installed, check that it is version 6 or above.
 Check that you don't have more than one version installed. To do this, go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. If there is more than one version listed, you need to uninstall ALL versions of Acrobat  and reinstall only the newest version.
 Internet Security Software
 You may have other Internet Security Software installed on your PC that stops the PDF file from being opened in Acrobat Reader. If so, then either allow the file to be opened or temporary disable the program (please refer to the vendor's manual) while the statement reprint is requested.


Can I apply online for a Savings Maximiser and an Orange Everyday at the same time?

Yes. When you apply for an Everyday account online, you will have the option to open a Savings Maximiser and link it to your Orange Everyday
 
 Just login to Online Banking, go to 'Apply for Products', choose 'Everyday banking' and following the prompts.


Can money in my Savings Maximiser be withdrawn earlier than 4pm?

If your Savings Maximiser is linked to an Orange Everyday, the withdrawal will happen straight away.
 
 If your Savings Maximiser is linked to an external bank account, withdrawals made before the cut-off time (currently 7pm Sydney time) on a business day, are generally transferred to your linked bank account by the next business day.


Why didnt my Direct Debit work?

There are a number of reasons why your Direct Debit may not be not working.
 
 It may be because:
 
 The details for the linked bank account are incorrect
 There are insufficient funds in your linked bank account
 The other bank has cancelled the Direct Debit request
 Your ING account is not yet active
 We suggest that you contact your other bank to check that you still have enough funds available to pay your Direct Debit, and that it is set up correctly.


How do I use Security Codes?

Once you're registered, every time you want to perform certain online banking transactions, you'll be prompted to request a Security Code. A Security Code will then be sent to your mobile phone via SMS. You'll be asked to verify the details in the SMS we send you against the transaction details entered on the screen and enter the Security Code in the secure online area within 5 minutes of receiving it. It's simple. The only thing you have to remember is to keep your mobile phone handy when banking online.


What is a Security Code?

Security Codes provides you with an additional level of protection. When banking online your existing Client Number and Access Code already provide you with security. But because you can't be too safe when it comes to your information and money, to enable you to perform certain transactions online with even greater confidence we've introduced an additional level of security called Security Codes.
 
 These are once-only codes sent to your mobile phone. Once received, you need to enter the Security Code in the secure online area within 5 minutes of receiving it every time you perform certain online transactions such as paying bills via BPAY for the first time or changing any of your contact details (address, phone number, etc). Expiring after 5 minutes, they help to ensure it is you (rather than a potential fraudster) who is performing the transaction.
 
 Security Codes are a form of "two-factor authentication" designed to protect you against many types of online fraud such as phishing, Trojans and identity theft. Two-factor authentication is a process designed to verify two things - something you know and something you have. In the case of ING, we verify your Access Code (something you know) and your receipt of a Security Code sent to your registered mobile phone (something you have).


I'm travelling overseas. Can I setup payees or billers before I leave so I don't need my phone when I'm travelling?

 Select 'Address book'
 Add a new Payee or BPAY biller
 Enter details and click 'Save'

 Daily closing balance x interest rate (as a percentage) / 365
 
 Please note, differences in interest month to month, when no transactions have occurred on your account, is due to the number of days in each month i.e. March has 31 days and April has 30 days, therefore one day less interest is accrued.

How do I find out if I am a tax resident of another country?

Different jurisdictions define tax residency in different ways - so it will depend on what country you are dealing with. There are some common criteria though.
 
 If you're an individual (or a Controlling Person) you may be considered a foreign tax resident if you have a substantial connection with another country (or treat it as your permanent home), or if you have personal and economic activities or interests overseas.
 
 When it comes to entities, tax residency will depend on where the entity (or its incorporation/organisation) is domiciled or effectively managed.
 
 That said, even a temporary stay overseas can affect your tax residency - and it's also possible for an individual or entity to be considered a tax resident in more than one jurisdiction. If you're a government official, diplomat or in the military, you will generally be a tax resident in your home jurisdiction - however it will always come down to local regimes.
 
 ING is not allowed to provide tax advice to help you determine your tax residency, so it's best to check specific conditions with the local government in the appropriate country or countries.


What is tax residency?

The definition of Tax Residency varies per country. ING is not responsible for determining a customers' Tax Residency and is not allowed to advise customers. It is the customer's responsibility to inform ING if they are a foreign tax resident. The general principles are as follows:
 
 For an individual, tax residency is typically the country where they are subject to tax, because of where they live, reside or are domiciled. In the case of the United States, it may also relate to the country in which a person was born and or is a citizen of.
 For an entity, tax residency is typically the country it is subject to tax, because of where it is incorporated, or is managed.
 In most cases, an individual or entity will have a single tax residency. However, multiple tax residencies are possible.
 
 The foreign tax residency information is mandatory for the following type of parties:
 
 Entities with the status Active NFE/ Active NFFE, Passive NFE/NFFE, Passive NFE (Undocumented), Professionally Managed Investment Entities in Non-Participating Jurisdictions.     
 Individuals and Controlling Persons with the status: Private Individual and Undocumented.
 If the customer does not comply or fails to respond to requests for information about their tax residency, ING must record the foreign tax residency based on CRS and FATCA indicia in ING's possession.


Can the Savings Accelerator be used for business purposes?

No. A Savings Accelerator must not be opened or operated for business, trade, superannuation, trustee purposes or on behalf of a deceased estate.
 If you wish to use an account for these purposes then it might be worth considering our Business Optimiser.

Yes. You can use the Verified by Visa service from any computer with internet access.


What if a transaction has been processed twice?

If a transaction has been incorrectly processed twice, please call us.

How is the Financial Claims Scheme limit applied?

The Financial Claims Scheme (FCS) limit of $250,000 applies to the sum of an account holder's deposits under the one banking license.
 
 Therefore, all deposits held by an account holder with a single banking institution must be added together towards the $250,000 FCS limit, and this includes accounts with any other banking businesses that the licenced banking institution may operate under a different trading name.
 
 ING is a business name of ING Bank (Australia) Limited ABN 24 000 893 292 and all accounts held with this institution that also satisfy the requirements of the Prudential standard are protected under the scheme.


What information will I need to setup a BPAY?

You will need to provide details such as; Biller Code, Biller Name, CRN (Customer Reference number), and amount.
 
 Additionally, you have the option to nickname the Biller and save into your address book for future use.
 
 To help track your payments some Billers use variable Customer Reference Numbers (CRNs).
 If you have a Biller with a variable CRN, we will only save the Biller Code.
 You will need to refer to your current bill when making a payment to ensure the correct CRN is entered.
 Note: The Biller code character limit is 10 digits or less.


What accounts do I need to use everyday round up?

If you are over 18 you need an Orange Everyday - single or joint account - and a Savings Maximiser, Orange Advantage or Mortgage Simplifier in your name.


Do I need a Security Code when using Phone Banking?

No, provided you are paying billers that are already in your Address Book. 
 
 If the biller is not currently in your Address Book, you can do this via online banking where you will be asked to use a security code.
 
 Log into Online banking
 Go to 'Transfer & pay'
 Select 'Address book'  
 Under the address book listing there is a button for;
 'New payee'
 'New BPAY Biller'

What is the New Payments Platform?

The New Payments Platform (NPP) is a major industry initiative to develop new infrastructure for Australian payments. It provides Australian consumers, businesses and government faster, simpler, smarter payments through a fast, versatile, data-rich payments system. NPP has changed the way Australians pay and transfer funds. It is an innovative payment service which allows all Australians to make and receive faster and flexible payments via any participating financial institution. Rather than waiting hours or days for a payment from someone who owes you money, and happens to use a different bank, money can now be moved in real-time with close to immediate funds availability. The service could be used when paying at a group dinner, socialising, or even paying a freelancer on the spot.


Why do I need a PayID?

There are a number of benefits to using a PayID, including:
 
 PayID makes payments an intuitive experience in keeping with the way we live life today, and does it in a way that is safe and secure.
 Greater convenience as you can provide Payers with details which are easy to remember such as an email address or mobile number.
 Greater peace of mind as you no longer have to provide your financial account information, such as BSB and account number to Payers in order to receive payments.
 Services that use PayID may display a PayID Name before you send a payment as an additional level of confirmation that you are sending money to the right person.
 Ability to maintain and transfer your PayID if you change Financial Institutions.


How can I set up a PayTo payment agreement?

You can set up a PayTo payment agreement with your merchant. Once you’ve given them your Orange Everyday PayID or BSB and account number, they will send you a PayTo payment agreement which you can review and authorise in ING Online Banking or ING app.


What is a SWIFT?

SWIFT stands for Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications.
 
 Basically, it's a computer network that connects over 900 banks around the world enabling them to transfer money. ING is part of this network.
 
 There is no fee for accepting deposits into your account with ING. However, due to ING not holding a "dealing authorisation" for foreign exchange, we are unable to accept funds in foreign currency directly from another country.
 
 To receive foreign currency funds from overseas, the funds require going through an intermediary/ corresponding bank within Australia.
 
 ING has no control on which bank the funds may go through and any fees that may be charged. Some banks charge a flat rate, some a percentage.
 
 IMPORTANT
 
 Domestic SWIFTs from an Australian Bank can be accepted into Savings Maximiser, Savings Accelerator, Business Optimiser, Orange Everyday and Home Loan accounts
 International SWIFTs can only be accepted into Orange Everyday, Savings Maximiser or Home Loan accounts. SWIFTs received into any other product will be rejected which may result in exchange rate differences when returned to the sending bank.
 Arranging a SWIFT
 To get funds deposited into your ING Orange Everyday, Savings Maximiser or Home Loan from an international bank using SWIFT, you'll need to provide the following:
 
 SWIFT code: INGBAU2S
 Currency: $AUD
 BSB: 923-100
 Bank Name: ING
 Beneficiary Account Number: this is your account number (Orange Everyday, Savings Maximiser and Home Loan accounts only)
 Beneficiary FULL Account Name: this is your name (FULL first and FULL surname of all account holders)
 Beneficiary Residential or Mailing Address as held with ING.
 Sender’s FULL name - (FULL first and FULL surname of all account holders)
 Sender’s Residential or Mailing address
 Branch Address: Sydney or 60 Margaret Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000
 If the bank asks for the 'Clearing code', this is equivalent to the BSB (923-100).
 
 Clearance Times
 Depending on intermediary banks, weekends and time zones, please allow 2-5 days for funds to reach your ING account.


How can I make a cash deposit?

Orange Everyday customers can pop in to any Australia Post Bank@Post outlet with their Visa Debit Card to make deposits up to $3000 (note, cash deposits may be refused by an Australia Post outlet if there is an excess of small denomination notes or coins).

Prior to probate or letters of administration being granted, if we receive a request from a person authorised by a will or a person who has applied for letters of administration, and on providing a copy of the death certificate, we will, within 14 business days of receiving the necessary information: a) Provide access to information about the deceased’s account; and b) Receive payment towards a debt owed to us by the deceased. What happens to joint bank accounts? Bank account that are held in both names can either be transferred into the sole surviving account holders name or closed and fund dispersed via cheque or EFT to an authorised account. I am the executor/ beneficiary. Why can't the Estate funds be paid into my name? We are not able to assist with the distribution of funds that belong to the estate as there may be tax implications for doing so. We can only pay the funds in the following methods: Cheque made payable to the " The Estate of the Late" OR Electronic transfer to an account in the name of " The Estate of the late" ( A bank statement is required for this request) The deceased had a credit card, what happens to the amount owing? We will endeavour to pay any outstanding debt from the account already held with ING as first priority and will be in contact with you if there is any outstanding payment needed.
