OzBargain's favourite transaction account, ING Orange Everyday, now features Apple Pay and Android Pay.
Use any ATM in Australia for free (for the following month if $1000 or more is deposited into the account from an external account or if you have an ING home loan). Make at least 5 card purchases that are settled (and not at a 'pending status') using your ING debit or credit card (excluding ATM withdrawals, balance enquiries, cash advances and EFTPOS cash out only transactions).
No monthly account keeping fee.
$0.50 cash back for EFTPOS withdrawals of $200 or more.
Free Everyday transactions including Australia Post, Visa EFTPOS and bank cheque requests sent via registered post.
Excellent customer service with 24/7 telephone support. When two of my friends had their cards skimmed, ING contacted them within hours, returned their money within 1 business day and promptly issued them a new card!
None of my new friends have accounts with ING and there are probably new OzBargainers who don't either.
The bonus conditions can be easily met if you have $1000 in an external account. Just set up monthly automated transfers in and out of any personal ING account in your name. Otherwise, switching at least $1000 per month of your income to be paid directly into an ING Savings Maximiser is an economical option presently earning 3 % pa when combined with this promotion.
Not a deal. Quite a bit of effort to get $0.5.
