From 9 October 2026, the ING Savings Maximiser offers a high variable interest rate of 5.75% p.a. on balances up to $100,000. To qualify for this rate each month, you must hold an ING Orange Everyday Bank Account, ensure your savings balance grows compared to the start of the month, and make at least 5 debit card purchases. This is a competitive rate for short-term savings, provided you can consistently meet the activity requirements.

Quick take
Good for
- Students
- Working Holiday Makers
- New immigrants
- Families with PR/Citizenship
Not for
- Users unwilling to bundle bank products
- Those who cannot guarantee monthly deposit growth and spending volume
Why it's worth a look
- 5.75% p.a. is currently among the higher savings rates in Australia
- $100,000 cap covers most personal emergency funds or short-term goals
- No annual fees, just requires meeting standard banking activity rules
Watch out
- Strict monthly conditions (balance growth + 5 purchases); missing one resets you to lower rates
- Variable rate means it could drop in the future
- Balances above $100,000 do not earn the bonus rate
