ING Tempo Savings: superior reward for regular savings

For those who want to save regularly, ING goes one step further. With ING Tempo Savings, customers choose to save a fixed amount of up to 500 euros a month. A good habit that helps to build up savings. Regular savers are rewarded for this with a higher interest rate. On the ING Tempo Savings, customers enjoy a 0.70% base rate and a 0.70% fidelity premium. This interest rate increase will take effect on 9 January 2023. ING Tempo Savings is a regulated savings account in euro for online use only.

ING will also raise the base rate and the fidelity premium on the ING Green Account, the ING Orange Account, the ING Lion Premium Account and ING Lion Deposit. For those regulated savings products, the interest rate raises from 0.01% base rate and 0.10% fidelity premium to 0.40% base rate and 0.10% fidelity premium.
