Anyone have an ING account?

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with an ING account. DH and I are looking into opening an account with them for our baby but have NO idea where to start.

Thanks!

Re: Anyone have an ING account?

i LOVE ing! it let me save a lot of $$$ for my wedding and i made a ton of interest.

it's very easy to set up and use...but it takes a few days for money to "clear", so if you need to make an immediate withdrawal, you can't. you have to wait like 3-4 days.

other than that, it's perfectly legit and safe.

FM me and i'll send you a link where you can get $25 deposited into your account for being referred.

let me know if you have any other questions!

I Love it! I have a certain amount of money taken out of my checking acct. every month, and the interest rate is fabulous! You should really do it!

Re: Anyone have an ING account?

Love it!!!

We have had our acct for years!!

Re: Anyone have an ING account?

we love it too
we are about to open a checking account with them!

Re: Anyone have an ING account?

I know I'm asking silly questions... but what type of account does everyone have with ING... savings? a CD? A Checking?

Someone mentioned that a CD yields a higher rate than the ING Savings.

So confusing!

I just have an Orange SAvings acct

Re: Anyone have an ING account?

I've had an ING account since 2002 and I love it. I use it to set money aside for big/special purchases separate from our other savings. The only downside (which can also be good sometimes) is that if you need fast access to your savings, ING isn't the way to go.

I also high recommend eSavings by Citibank. If you already have a checking account with Citi it's really easy. They offer 5.0% interest and you can easily transfer your money from checking to savings and have access to all of it from any ATM.

Re: Anyone have an ING account?

ING is now offering checking accts with ATM capabilities

Re: Anyone have an ING account?

Citibank is offering 5% savings. You have to open a checking account with them but it's a lot easier to transfer and get your $$.

Re: Anyone have an ING account?

I LOVE my ING account!!! It was the easiest thing I've ever done- all over the phone/computer. Getting my $$ back was even easy, with having to add another account, just needed to wait 4 business days, but I knew that and planned in advance.

You can't go wrong....

Re: Anyone have an ING account?

I do, and love it. We used it to save for our wedding, now we're using it to save for a house. 4.5% interest...it really adds up. I use their electric orange checking as a Christmas Club, too, since my bank doesn't have one (I don't think). It's great. Highly recommended.

Re: Anyone have an ING account?

Very satisfied customer of ING -- if you don't mind not dealing with an actual branch. Then again, so much these days is electronic anyway! I def. recommend ING!

Re: Anyone have an ING account?

i have had an account w/ them for years - great to deal with!

I am considering this...any catches whatsoever???

the only "catch" is that your $$$ isnt immediately accessible. It takes 2-3 business days to be transferred to your checking acct.

thats it??? sounds good to me!

Re: Anyone have an ING account?

We have an HSBC Online Account which has interest of 5.05%.

Wamu offers 5% when you sign up for the online checking/savings package and they allow you to access the account in the branch so that they is no delay in you being able to access the money if you need it.
