Wednesday, 3 October 2012: ING DIRECT is the most awarded bank in this year’s Mozo People’s Choice Awards recognising Australia’s favourite financial brands – based on the votes of 25,000 bank customers.
Its Orange Everyday account won Best Bank Account and Best Debit Card for the second year in a row while ING DIRECT was also awarded Best Direct Bank and Best Term Deposits – out of 200 institutions.
ING DIRECT’s Brett Morgan said, “We are incredibly proud to be recognised with awards that are voted for by customers who base their reviews on real life experiences with our products.
“I’m particularly proud of the awards for our Everyday Bank account, Orange Everyday, which is loved by our customers.
“The Orange Everyday account gives customers’ access to any ATM in Australia for free when they withdraw more than $200 and the latest card is Visa payWave enabled,” said Morgan.
ING DIRECT received four awards in total and was mentioned among the Top 5 Banks and Top 5 Savings Accounts for the Savings Maximiser.
More than 25,000 customers from around Australia rated their banking provider on overall satisfaction, price, features, customer service, convenience and trust.
* Visa payWave is a contactless technology in ING DIRECT’s new Orange Everyday cards which make it faster and easier to pay for purchases under $100.
