The Australian leg of Dutch banking giant ING markets itself as the most recommended bank down under. It was also the first direct bank in Australia – meaning it operates without a physical branch network – having hit Aussie shores in 1999.
Over the years, ING has evolved from essentially offering savings accounts and home loans exclusively to providing a full service banking experience, complete with credit card, superannuation, and insurance offerings.
You might find ING a good fit for your home loan needs if you:
Don't mind conducting your banking online or over the phone ING doesn't operate branches in Australia, meaning customers must conduct their banking via its website, app, or over the phone.
Want a full service bank with competitive deposit offerings Many ING customers will be aware of the bank's savings account offerings, commonly among the most competitive in the market. This could be a positive for some home loan borrowers.
Value a user-friendly mobile app The ING app mightn't provide out-of-this-world technology, but it's known for its simple but useful interface, its smooth useability, and offering most features users need.
Are seeking competitive mortgage rates While ING's home loan rates rarely lead the market, they're commonly among some of the lowest on offer from a major bank – particularly those offered under its Mortgage Simplifier product.
Want access to an offset account ING's Orange Advantage home loan provides an offset account as standard.
Want to borrow more for green home upgrades ING launched a Green Upgrade Loan in 2024, offering a competitive fixed rate for home loan holders wishing to borrow more to pay for the likes of solar panels, batteries, or EV chargers. The bank also offers a tool to help homeowners find quotes for energy efficient upgrades and assess if they are eligible for government grants.
Value sustainability Like many banking giants, ING is making moves to be more sustainable. It aims to get the most carbon-intensive areas of its portfolio to net zero by 2050.
Want access to budgeting features ING differs from other banks by offering the option for customers to round up every purchase they make to the nearest $1 or $5, with the extra deposited into the savings account, repaid off their home loan, or donated to charity. It also offers 1% cashback on eligible purchases made by eligible customers holding a particular credit card product.

Our service is free for you, thanks to support from our partners through sponsored placements, ads, and referrals. We earn compensation by promoting products, referring you, or when you click on a product link. You might also see ads in emails, sponsored content, or directly on our site.
We strive to cover a broad range of products, providers, and services; however, we do not cover the entire market. Products in our comparison tables are sorted based on various factors, including product features, interest rates, fees, popularity, and commercial arrangements.
Some products will be marked as promoted, featured or sponsored and may appear prominently in the tables regardless of their attributes.
Additionally, certain products may present forms designed to refer you to associated companies (e.g. our mortgage broker partner) who may be able to assist you with products from the brand you selected. We may receive a fee for this referral.
You can customise your search using our sorting and filtering tools to prioritise what matters most to you, although we do not compare all features and some results associated with commercial arrangements may still appear.
For home loans, the base criteria include a $500,000 loan amount over 30 years. These rates are only examples and may not include all fees and charges.
*The Comparison rate is based on a $150,000 loan over 25 years. Warning: this comparison rate is true only for this example and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.
Monthly repayment figures are estimates that exclude fees. These estimates are based on the advertised rates for the specified term and loan amount. Actual repayments will depend on your circumstances and interest rate changes.
Monthly repayments, once the base criteria are altered by the user, will be based on the selected products’ advertised rates and determined by the loan amount, repayment type, loan term and LVR as input by the user/you.
