How the Finder Score helps you find a better savings account

The Finder Score is a simple score out of 10. The higher a savings account's score, the better we think it is for the average customer.

We score each savings account in our database of hundreds based on a data-driven methodology with 2 main criteria: Does the account offer a high interest rate? And is it easy for savers to actually earn that rate?

At the end of a 12 month term, what is the difference in capital amount if $200k is invested in a term deposit at 5.3% with interest paid at maturity compared with interest paid monthly?

Hi Steven,


You can use a term deposit calculator to work this out. I tried and found there was no difference between the 2 options. You can ask ING about this for more details.

If I open up an ING term deposit do I need to make regular deposits into the acc to earn interest? I am looking at putting around 150k- 200k for 6-12mths

Hi Carly,


ING term deposits require a minimum deposit of $10,000 and you can choose how long the term is. You don’t make regular deposits after the initial deposit.


I hope that helps.

If I’m currently not a ING account holder but wish to open a ING term deposit account locked in for 12 months. Do I need to open any other accounts with ING ?

No, you don’t need to have any other accounts to set up the term deposit with ING.

Interest is paid at maturity for terms less than 1 year. For terms longer than 1 year interest is paid annually.

If we have a joint term deposit account totaling $500,000-Will we be covered by Aust Gov for $250,000 each Hence in total $500,000 for that one account?

Hi George, Deposits are protected up to a limit of $250,000 per account holder, per ADI.


APRA confirms that for joint accounts, the amount of protection is determined by splitting the deposit equally between the account holders. Each account holder’s share is then added to any other eligible deposits they hold under their own name at the same bank, building society or credit union before the $250,000 FCS limit is then applied to the total for each person.


In your example, provided each account holder has no more accounts with that bank, both of them would be covered for $250k each, $500k total.
