January 24, 2011 ING DIRECT has launched an additional tier on its Orange Advantage 100% offset home loan, based on feedback from its broker network. Customers who have combined residential borrowings with ING DIRECT of $500,000 or more will receive a discount of 0.35% p.a. on the Orange Advantage interest rate for the life of the loan - resulting in a current variable interest rate of 6.99% p.a. This new benefit came about after engaging with broker partners and seeking feedback on the bank’s products, service and policies which showed discounts on larger loans would be a welcome enhancement.   “This is yet another example of ING DIRECT delivering product enhancements to meet the changing needs of our customers. It not only offers a very competitive interest rate for customers but it also gives these customers a genuine alternative for their loan and transactional account, outside of the major banks,“ said Ray Esho, Head of Mortgage Products at ING DIRECT. An Orange Advantage home loan offers 100% interest offset when linked to an Orange Everyday account. The balance in an Orange Everyday is offset against the outstanding balance of your Orange Advantage before interest is calculated.
