ING Direct's Financial Independence Days Sale Begins

ING Direct is now offering its Financial Independence Day Sale . The offers are available through Saturday 11:59PM ET July 2, 2011. Some of the offers are a little better than last year's promotions . The Electric Orange bonus and the refer-a-friend bonus are a little higher. Also, ING Direct's discount on mortgage closing costs is larger than what it offered last year. However, there isn't any offer that I would consider a hot deal. There is no CD special. If you know someone who may be interested in ING Direct, this would be a good time for them to apply. They could make $25 for opening an Orange Savings Account in the refer-a-friend bonus. You can make $10 for each referral and for this promotion an extra $56 for the first two referrals. Once they open the Orange Savings Account, they should still be able to qualify for the Electric Orange bonus in which they could earn up to $126. Below is a summary of all of the promotions with a few of my notes. Be sure to check www.ingdirect.com/independence for the full details.

What does the Capital One acquisition mean for ING Direct?

I've decided to talk about what the Capital One acquisition will mean for ING Direct. As you know, when I recommended my favorite savings account, checking account, and credit card, I named ING Direct as the savings account that I love and use.




ING Direct Online Savings Account

Certainly not one of the most established banks for online savings accounts, ING has only been around since 2000, but in that time they have been able to establish a very good reputation with their customers. Most consumers who have an ING Direct online savings account report that they have never had a problem with the bank and have nothing but good things to say about it. So while they may not have won awards that other banks offering online savings accounts have, they are definitely worth considering.

ING Direct offers two different rates for their two separate online savings accounts. The first account, Orange Savings Account, is typically offered to consumers that don’t have many thousands of dollars to put into savings and has an annual percentage yield of 1.20%. The second account, the Electric Orange Savings Account, is best suited for those consumers who do have a large savings balance to deposit and will return a 1.45%. With most banks lowering the rates offered for their online savings accounts these rates are very good even if they may lower slightly they will still be good.

There are no minimum deposit amounts for opening up either of these accounts, which makes them easily accessible to anyone who is interested. Another great advantage you have is that there are no fees for transferring money between your online savings account and any other accounts you have, even if they are with other banks. That is not to say that those other banks won’t charge you a fee, but ING Direct certainly will not.  Transferring money is very easy and can be done online, over the phone, or with a customer representative in person. Usually transfers are completed in 2 to 3 business days, which makes it very easy to get access to your money.

You can also easily link your ING Direct online savings account to any checking account that you wish. Of course all ING Direct accounts are automatically linked for you, but you can choose any 3 checking accounts with other institutions that you wish. And you can bank safely with ING Direct since they are FDIC insured, making it a very safe place to keep your money The information and resources found on the Financial Advice Zone is provided and intended for informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or other advice of any kind.
