The ING Billbarrel competition has helped thousands of Australians cover everyday expenses like electricity and gas bills over the past six weeks. Recent data shows eight in ten Australian households are experiencing bill stress, with three in ten facing extreme levels of stress, particularly affecting Gen X households who are making sacrifices by cutting dining out and other discretionary spending. ING has returned $8.8 million to customers through its 1% cashback on utility bills programme over the past 12 months.
