ING DIRECT is offering all-time low interest rates on its fixed residential home loans following a range of rate reductions effective 1 May 2015.

ING DIRECT’s new fixed rates will be:

• 4.24% p.a. for 1-3 year fixed
• 4.49% p.a. for 4-5 year fixed

Customers with an Orange Advantage loan also receive a further 0.10% p.a. discount off these fixed rates.

Mark Woolnough, Head of Third Party Distribution, ING DIRECT, said: “Our new fixed interest rates are the lowest we have ever seen, and coupled with our extremely competitive variable rates and ongoing focus on service and value, we have a very strong offering for brokers and their clients.”

Mr Woolnough added: “On 1 May when our new fixed rates kick in, we’ll also be making our first loyalty reward cash payment for our eligible Orange Advantage customers, providing even more opportunity for customers to get ahead.”

These latest fixed rate changes follow reductions to variable rates introduced in March which saw additional low LVR (<=80%) discounts extended to new loans at or above $150,000 and $500,000.
