I am thinking about opening one, I just wanted to know if it is a good idea or not. If you have had any experience with them, please let me know.

I had thought about using this savings account for awhile now and I am interested in knowing more about it also. Is it safe as far as putting our money there? Will they sell out to another bank in the near future? Are the deposits FIDC insured? IF not, I am not sure that I want to do it. Someone please give more inforamtion on this company if you use them. Thanks.

I have been with them for many years and no problems. They say that they are not having problems like other banks because they keep the loans they give, they do not sell them, like other banks do. Even if something happened they are FDIC insured, so your money is perfectley safe. Hope that helps!

I have always been happy with ING. I have had accounts there for many years. Transfers between their accounts are instant. Transfers between outside banks take a few day, just like any other bank. They have an interest earning checking account too that, like their savings, does not have fees. Their customer service has always been nice and helpful. They never hesitate to raise their interest when they are able. Right now of course is not a interest raiseing time of course. If you can look for bonus offers where they will give you money for opening account, usually $25. I recommend them!

We have an account with ING Direct and it works really neat and the interest rate is little bit higher than other banks cos they don't have personal banking set up. They work online. If you are interested, just send me your email id so I can send you the referral link. If you open a savings account with $250, they give you 25$ in your account and I get $10. For that you have to use the referral link... PM me with your name and email id if you are interested.
