Hi, I just opened an ING account about 6 weeks ago, because I was lead to believe they had the highest rate. I've now learnt of USaver which seems to offer a 5.56 rate with an ASP. I thought ING offered 5.25, but I only seem to be getting 4.00? Is it easy to close the ING account and put all my current savings into a new USaver account, which i'd like to do. Interest will be substantially different over a year of saving.
I have several USaver accounts - I think they are an excellent account, give far more flexibility than ING accounts and they have a higher rate too. Shouldn't be too hard to close the ING account - just transfer all your money back to your main account and call them. ING DIRECT Australia - General FAQs
