How to earn it

Deposit $1,000 or more from an external source into any personal ING account, make 5 or more settled card purchases on your linked Orange Everyday account, and grow your nominated Savings Maximiser balance (excluding interest) each calendar month. Applies on balances up to $100,000. Bonus rate applies in the following calendar month.

Bonus rate applies on balances up to $100,000

The most common reason for losing the bonus is the balance growth condition — any net withdrawal before month-end forfeits the bonus for the following month. The 5 card purchases must be settled (not just authorised) before the month closes, and the bonus applies the next calendar month, not the month you earned it.

Rate current since 15 May 2026.
