SPECIFIC CONDITIONS FOR TERM DEPOSITS

Opening an accountTo open a Term Deposit, you or your attorney (if your attorneyis authorised to open an account) must provide us with:

• a completed Term Deposit application form - includingdetails of your existing bank account and the term youhave selected (the term must be for a minimum of oneyear and a maximum of five years, or some other termthat we agree to in writing);

• any other documents or information we may require; and

• a cheque payable to "ING DIRECT" drawn on yourexisting bank account for the amount of your openingdeposit. (refer to “Making deposits” on page 23).

22

Once we approve your application and accept your deposit,we send you a Welcome Letter as a record of receipt ofyour deposit.

InterestInterest is calculated annually on each anniversary of theopening of your account by applying the interest rate forthe term you have selected to the amount of your depositon that date. Interest is credited annually and on thematurity date of the deposit. It is credited to your accountand becomes part of your Term Deposit. If the day on whichinterest is credited to your account is not the maturity date,interest for the next year of your Term Deposit is calculatedupon the new amount of your Term Deposit (refer to“Making withdrawals” on page 23 for information on howinterest is calculated if you redeem your account early).

Term Deposit interest rates may vary according to theterm of the deposit.

The interest rate that applies to your account is set out inthe Welcome Letter sent to you at the time we accept yourdeposit.

Making depositsDeposits can only be made by cheque. Each cheque mustbe payable to ING DIRECT and be drawn on your existingbank account. We will also accept a cheque endorsed toING DIRECT if the cheque was originally made payable toyou, using the same name as the name of your accountwith us.

Please note: we will not accept a cheque drawn on anaccount other than your existing bank account for youropening deposit.

You, or an attorney who is authorised to make deposits toyour account, may not make a deposit after making theopening deposit or during the term of the deposit.

Deposits made after 4pm (Sydney time) on a business daywill be treated as if made on the following business day.

You cannot deposit money:

• by international drafts;

• by traveller’s cheque; or

• in cash.

Please note that we will only accept deposits in Australiandollars.

Making withdrawalsTo make a withdrawal from your Term Deposit on thematurity date you must advise us no later than theday before the maturity date.

23

If you have a joint account, we will need instructions from youor your joint account holder before we allow a withdrawal.

These advices and instructions can also be given by an attorneywho is authorised to make withdrawals on your behalf.

Early redemption. You may request to withdraw allyour money from your account before the maturity dateby advising us no later than the day before the date youwish to withdraw all of your money. You may not makea partial withdrawal of your money from your TermDeposit before the maturity date. The interest we payon the money withdrawn will be calculated from the dayon which the opening deposit is made or the day onwhich interest was last credited (whichever is the later) tothe day of the early withdrawal, using an interest ratedetermined by us that may be lower than theinterest rate that would otherwise have applied toyour Term Deposit. The interest rate that will apply forthis period will depend on how much time is left until thematurity date. The table below shows the adjustments tobe applied to withdrawals in advance of maturity.

Table: Adjustment to be applied

Time until the Adjustmentmaturity date to be applied

Less than 1 year Interest rate less 1.4% paLess than 2 years Interest rate less 1.6% paLess than 3 years Interest rate less 1.9% paLess than 4 years Interest rate less 2.10% paLess than 5 years Interest rate less 2.25% pa

ExampleYou have lodged a four year deposit of $100,000 with a Term Deposit Rate of 5.5% pa. After three years and 60 days,you ask to withdraw the entire balance of your account.

Interest for the first three years is calculated at the originalTerm Deposit Rate of 5.5% pa, meaning that your creditbalance after three years is $117,424.13.

As there is less than one year to the maturity date when youask to withdraw the entire balance of your account, interestfor the remaining 60 day period is calculated by applying anadjusted interest rate of 4.1% pa (the interest of 5.5% paless 1.4% pa) to your $117,424.13 credit balance. Thismeans that your closing credit balance after three years and60 days is $118,215.53.

Please note: this example is for illustrative purposes only.

Where you or an attorney authorised to withdraw moneyfrom your account requests ING DIRECT to withdraw all ofyour money from your Term Deposit before maturity we willclose your account and transfer the credit balance of your24

account to your existing bank account.

Maturity and re-investmentAt least three weeks before the maturity date of thedeposit, we send you a maturity advice letter seeking yourinstructions about the deposit and setting out the currentdeposit conditions. You will need to contact us for thecurrent interest rates.

You may tell us:

• to renew all or part of the deposit for a term offered by usat the rate of interest applying to that term on thematurity date; or

• to pay all or part of the deposit to your existing bankaccount on the maturity date and to close your account.

If we do not receive your instructions at least the daybefore the maturity date, we automatically renew thedeposit (including any interest credited to your account)for the same term as the maturing deposit at the rate ofinterest applying to that term on the maturity date andotherwise on the same terms as the maturing deposit.

Cancelling or changing your instructionsYou or your attorney can stop, suspend or changeinstructions to pay all or part of the deposit to your existingbank account on maturity by giving us written instructionsbefore 4pm (Sydney time) on the date on which the depositis to mature. If the deposit is to mature on a day which isnot a business day, you must give us these writteninstructions before 4pm on the last business day before thedeposit is to mature.
