Anyone use ING?

[sherman]

I have kept a small savings account with them for awhile.....I only put $100 per month in there and they pay something like 2% I think it is.....don't put it there for the interest, just like ING.....you guys use them for anything?

[sherman]

i started there because they offered a free $25 to deposit $25 or maybe it was $50/$50....100% i'll take anyday.......i think they may still offer it.....

Sherman -
I started using them for savings about a year and a half ago, they seem to have a better rate than most banks anyway.
I recently put in some more money in a CD with them. No complaints at all.

ING is excellent for money market funds you have set aside. Right now they're paying 3%, excellent rate compared to many banks and s/l's right now. I love ING.

[sherman]

they are truly a favorite company of mine....excellent CUSTOMER SERVICE in my experience!

I was thinking of opening an account with ING. They will give me $25.00 if someone were to refer me and $10.00 to the referer. Is anyone interested in adding 10 bucks to their account?

Sure, I will take $10. I believe all you need to do Shea is give me an email address and I send you a sign-up link.

Thanks for the offer.

I'm an ING Direct customer and asked them why they haven't matched Emigrant Direct with their rates, here was ING's reply:


ING DIRECT does not base rates on one competitor, we base them on overall
market conditions as well as on our competition.

Even though another bank may currently offer a higher rate, we feel that we
offer the better deal for several key reasons.

ING DIRECT has consistently paid one of the nation?s highest yield with no
fees and no minimums for more than 4 years. We have a low cost business
model that allows us to continue to offer these high rates over the long
term.

ING DIRECT's privacy policy exceeds government standards. We have an opt-in
policy, which means that we do not share private Customer information with
affiliates and other third parties without express permission from our
Customers. Other banks may share this type of Customer information
automatically, unless the Customer tells them not to.

ING DIRECT has Sales Associates who are thoroughly trained on all of ING
DIRECT?s products answering the phone. Our Customers can always speak to
a ?person?. ING DIRECT Sales Associates strive to answer the phone in 20
seconds or less to provide an excellent Customer experience.

If you are simply looking for a higher rate, keep in mind that we also offer
CDs which earn as high as 4.10% APY depending on the term that you select.

If you have any more questions, give us a call 1-800-ING-DIRECT.

Thanks for your interest in ING DIRECT,
Brian C.

[sherman]

ING now at 3.4% on savings.....


Man, I'll tell ya....I just got off the phone w/ ING for some account issues and the CS is the BEST around! Why can't all companies be like them? ING is probably my favorite company out there....just started an online savings account for my 3 children......

[sherman]

BTW, they are still offering a free $25 on a $25 deposit!


They will also give me $10 free for the refer....let me know if anyone is interested, I'll send you the email....

[LEYKIS101]

Agree Sherman.

ING is a great company to do business with.

Emigrantdirect is offering 4% now. I have both ING, and Emig, I prefer ING for site navagation, but the extra .06% is nice

I noticed that, but have ZERO reason to switch, as ING is a rare company that satisfies me.....but I guess if you have alot of $$$, that extra would be nice..

Inflation is running at 5%. 4% interest = losing money.

[juice]

last month was the 1st month inflation went over 4%, so you probably arent losing money.

[ConansHammer]

i have been in the money bizz for a while and in the end the best thing that you can do is put 90% of your money into stuff that is absolutely safe.

The other 10% should be put in to once or twice a year opportunities.
Wait until a no brainer financial sitution happens. The current oppurtunity( soon to end) is shorting oil. Before that it was going long on gold. Before that shorting tech.

I love places like ING. Stay there until you can get 8 % on guaranteed money from them or someone else. The first "legit "companies to be offering this kind of long term rate will be from the life industry.

not true....

[LEYKIS101]

I found the published current inflation rate in Sept. to be 4.69%, but YTD I would say we're averaging about 3.25-3.5%.
