Reference rates for the following segments will change as follows:
- For owner-occupier borrowers with ING’s Orange Advantage home loan, the principal and interest rates will decrease by 0.05% p.a.
- For owner-occupier borrowers (with either an Orange Advantage or Mortgage Simplifier home loan), interest-only rates will increase by 0.20% p.a.
