i like to put my money in ING Orange Account because it has a higher interest rate than my old bank account. i found i about the orange account by ING Direct from my friend. As soon as i found out about it, i immediately transferred my money from my old bank into my new Orange account. my old bank account was earning like 1.25% while my orange account is earning 4.00% or more in interest depending on the economy or the fed cutting or raising rates.

I have my superannuation managed by a financial advisor and he has invested some of that with ING. I think it is a very sound company.

do you know how your financial advisor invest your money with ING? does he buy stocks of ING or he deposits your money in an ING account? you should really find out because this is your money and you should always want to know what's going on with your money.

Is ING Direct FDIC insured? My friend recommended it to me once, but I'm a bit leery of it.

Well, now is 3 years later, I saw your posting about Ing direct. Now the interest rate is extremely low, but it still higher than other bank saving account. I am glad that I transfer some of my money into the ing orange checking, it still earn some interest though.
