Do not trust advertised rates on home loan product - untrustworthy and unethical
ING can not be trusted. Suck you in with a discount on advertised rates. Within 18 months rates have been increased and no longer represent what is being advertised for the same product. They do not see their behavior as unethical and an appallingly dishonest way to treat customers.

Interest Rate Rises and Rises
Without RBA rate increases my rates kept increasing. I asked them to match the advertised rate for new customers and they said they wouldn't. Loan with ING moved to 4.18% moved to HSBC at 3.59%. I bit the bullet on the exit fees, but too annoyed to stay. I had been with them for 12 years.
Be careful on exit fees.

Watch out for multiple interest rate increases and additional fees for everything
I've had poor service today. I've had 2 mortgages with ING for just over two years. During that time the reserve bank rate hasn't moved at all yet my interest rates have crept up consistently over that period. I've also been forced into P&I repayments meaning my monthly repayments commitment has almost doubled within 2 years. The offers advertised are for new business - not for existing customers. Once you are a customer the service stops they rely on their exit fees etc to keep you in the agreement. Very disappointing today. Be very careful to consider all fees before working with these.
Also, they send you emails which you cant reply to - how rude is that? Customers opinions or responses not accepted!!!

Frustrating, another Interest rate increase story
As per a lot of others, signed up at a very competitive rate and have suffered a number of rises.
As of today i am at 3.93 and they are advertising 3.85 for the same product. Not massive but i have an offer for another bank for 3.72% and $1.5k cash back. Called today and was told 3.93 is the best they can do and only steered towards a fixed rate home loan...

Honeymoon rates - avoid
I asked the broker if this was a honeymoon rate and was told no. I knew it wasn't for the life of the loan but the increase by 0.15% just 2 months on is just ridiculous. Plus this loan comes with annual fees. I am stuck for 2 years unfortunately before I could switch as I went through a broker. Don't bother. I went with them because of their fast approvals and not many lenders are keen to take on off-the-plan properties. If you have time, go with lenders who tend to stick with their rates - CUA, Ubank.

Don't let their honeymoon rates fool you
I have been with ING for ONLY eight months and so far they have raised the interest rate by 0.15 TWICE. I understand that I am using a variable rate product but how variable? Every 3 months variable? I started on 3.75 and ONLY after a few months the rate has gone up to 3.93. With this pace, I am going to get 5+ soon! Be aware of their advertised rates! It's just a gimmick to lure you in!

Don’t look after loyal customers
We have been with ING for 13 years. We noticed that the interest rate we were paying was 1% more than the advertised rate. Made numerous attempts to contact them, but was always told they would phone back (July last year). In January attempted again. Tried to brush me off as no one available. Said I would hold, which I did for 10 mins. After a lengthy discussion, our rate was reduced by .75%. Yesterday, we received an email saying it is being increased by .15. %! Really ING? Called this morning. The ‘customer service person’ was Very rude. Explained my case, and was promptly told do what’s best for you and maybe find another lender.
Mmmmmm.......not happy. Have since found another lender happy to offer us a great deal. See you later ING.

Don't do it!
Having refinanced from ANZ who were treating us with disdain, we have unfortunately had the same experience as others. Two days after settling we have received an email to say our rate is going up from 3.68% to 3.83%. And it is higher than the advertised rate of 3.73%. The paperwork was a little tedious to deal with but I will be strongly considering changing again. The rate is still better than ANZ but i wonder how long that will last. Another rate rise and we will be switching. Of course I can't get through to speak to anyone about our loan. Not happy!!

Don’t trust their website rates
Bad customer service. They are not friendly and horrible enough to hear on 24/12/2018 from their professional lender “I can’t waste my time as long as you don’t have the minimum deposit“ without give advices or even listen to any alternative plans. Their actual interest rates after settlement will not be as previously advertised. Don’t deal with them and avoid rough chat and hidden costs. Their offers on the website only and not fact when you come to deal with them!

Rip off merchants to loyal customers.
I have just found out I am being charged 4.8% interest on my variable loan, whereas a new customer would be charged 3.73%. That's where loyalty gets you with ING. Customer service and fees are fine, it is just their rates that are repulsive.

Customer service is the worst - maybe ING should consider outsourcing their customer service elsewhe
I moved to ING a year and a half go because they were offering the best deals. Their home loan rates and everyday accounts were excellent. It’s a bit weird but I had a lot of trouble with the home loan staff, they were unnecessarily rude and condescending. I complained and got someone else. So the home loan application process was unnecessarily difficult. Once they got a professional, it was easy as I think my loan is very small and it’s easy for the banks to give me a loan. Then I was happy because everything worked well and I didn’t have to d...Read more
eal with the customer service. But then suddenly without any warning they just jacked up the interest rates on my home loan. This was 0.40% higher than what they were advertising to new loan applicants and what I was on previously. I messaged then and said I would leave if they weren’t reasonable and lower their rates to what other customers were getting. But they just called me at inconvenient times and left the 1300 number to call back. Anyway, I left them and joined another bank. The kicker was when I got called by a lady requesting feedback. I told her that the customer service was so bad. I liked all the products that ING were offering (except for the home loan when they jacked up the interest rates) and I was really reluctant to leave but because the customer service was so aggressive I couldn’t stand the disrespect. I also told her that when I was with ME bank they reduced their interest rates when other banks reduced theirs. She laughed at me and said “I don’t believe it”. I was shocked by this type of behaviour as it is quite remarkable that Australians would treat other people like this. Perhaps this is a symptom of a toxic work environment at ING. It sounded like they were Australia based staff but give me a well behaved professional person from India or Phillipines any day over this “local” customer service. I was expecting international level of service from an international bank - not the worst Australia has to offer. Australians don’t care about your accent as long as you are professional, honest and polite.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Mediocre service from this bank.
I would suggest don't bank with ING as I recently refinance with them looks like they offered really a bad and poor service.
I never gone before for HECS-HELP debt and when I applied for refinancing home loan with ING, I never ticked HECS or mention in my application but their system is reporting I have HECS debt.
I called this bank many time spoke to customer relationship officer and staff over the phone but still same message noted for new credit card application.
How a crap service! I suggest please see their review here before deal with them, I could have done this before going for mortgage with them.

Easy to deal with, quick to answer phone
We’ve been with ING for 4 years. Even with rate increases, the rate is still competitive. You will find most banks have an intro rate & will increase it within 12 months. most difficult part for me is the max you can take out at an atm in 1 day is $2,000. And to transfer money to a non- ING account takes 24hrs to process.

Do not deal with them
I cannot stress how horrible this bank is. Don't deal with them. The market great deals that change soon after you sign up, whilst still advertising great rates and fees for new people. No customer service.

ING Charges existing customers higher rates than what they are advertising!
ING Charges Existing Customer Higher Rates than what they are advertising in their website.
I got ING Orange Advantage variable rate home loan in late May and settled in early June. At the time when I apply, it is 3.68% in ING website.
After only 1 month, my rate is increased to 3.78%.(the following is a screen shot on 2018-07-15)

Increase of home loan in less than a year
Really unhappy with Ing offering new customer a nice low home loan rate and increasing the one of their existing customers! Doesn't give any reason why and won't offer anything. Plan on moving to an other bank soon! This is just a rip off! They just want to catch new customer in a trap! Totally unreliable!

Don't do it
I agree with all of the reviews of being slugger with ridiculous legal fees and increased interest. Going to refinance as soon as I serve the minimum period. Worst. Mortgage. No branches and charge for everything. Regret following the advice of a mortgage broker who makes thousands from commissions.

Unethical
Ok this is what they do. They attract you with a low rate and they will send you a notice of increase after a month. It has happened to me twice! Still happy overall that is why the 3 stars

Questions & Answers
Ashishasked
Bought home loan from ING and the interest rate keeps on rising. When I asked the reason they said we don't even need to inform you the reason. Had long email conversations with them stating that this is illegal what you doing. ACCC calls it bait marketing. You cannot offer different interest rate for same product to different customers. It is unfair. I think ING customers need to get together and look for Class action against ING for such behaviour.
Weiweiasked
I have recently signed up with ING for my home loan and am confused. Every fortnight, a "repayment amount" gets deducted from there everyday account and "credited" into the home loan account. Is this the principal payment only?
And then does interest get deducted again at the end of the month?
thanks
1 answer
if you signed up for principle and interest repayment then your repayment should include both principle and interest in every transaction.

How long does it take for approval?
3 answers
I think ours was only a few days, it then took about another week to get the paperwork completed and signed with money transferred.
From memory it took about less than a week. My property was appraised so if you don't need that done it would be quicker. I arranged mine through Mortgage Choice and it was really very simple and not time consuming from my end.
For me there was a problem with their valuation of the property I was buying. The valuation was below the purchase price, which was not an issue for me, what was an issue was that no-one had bothered to tell me until I chased things up. If you go with ING and really I wouldn't if I was you then be prepared to keep on them to keep things moving. Have a look at some of the other reviews on here regarding interest rates, they are slow to decrease when the RBA drops and quick to increase them once they have you signed up.
