See tables below for details.

Home loan interest rate changes

Home loan interest rate changes

Here's how interest rates are changing for ING Home Loans and when they become effective.

Variable rate loans

ING Variable Home Loan interest rates for existing owner occupier and investor borrowers will decrease by 0.25% p.a. from 4 March 2025.

Repayment amounts

These interest rate changes will impact minimum repayment amounts.

Principal and interest loans

Principal and interest minimum repayments will change from 15 March 2025.

What could this mean for you? With a decrease to ING Variable Home Loan interest rates, existing customers on principal and interest payments are likely to see a reduction in their minimum repayment amount. For example, a customer with a $500,000.00 Mortgage Simplifier home loan and 25 years left on their loan term could save $76 per month on their minimum repayments with a new rate of 5.89% p.a. (comparison rate 5.92% p.a.). This calculation assumes that the customer does not exceed or fail to meet their minimum repayments, and that no changes are made to the customer's loan account.

Interest only loans

Updates to interest only repayments will take effect from 1 April 2025.

For more information on repayments, see our FAQs below.

Keeping you posted

All customers with an ING variable rate Home Loan will be notified electronically or by post to confirm their new interest rate, and the impact on their minimum repayment amount. How you're affected depends on the details of your home loan account.

Checking your current and new rate and repayments

You can check your current ING Home Loan interest rate and repayment amount anytime by logging into your ING app or online banking at ing.com.au

To see your new rate simply login on or after 4 March 2025. If you have a principal and interest loan, you can also login to see your new repayment amount from 5 March 2025.

Think about your repayment frequency

Depending on your loan, you can choose fortnightly or monthly repayments. Paying monthly can be convenient if you get paid monthly but paying fortnightly could save you interest long term.
