Does anyone familiar with online banking? One of the pioneer on this field is IngDirect, a European owned online bank provide great customer service, and great product on checking and saving accounts. I am totally satisfied with them, since they provide higher yield interest rate on their checking. Lately, Europe was in economic trouble, and IngDirect was sold to Capital One, as one of the insolvent assets to their European parent company for $9 billion. So, now Ingdirect is sold, and I was just worrying about their service and their product policy, would they soon to be change also? Anyone know more about this?

What usually happens is that the new parent company will incorporate some fo the best features of each and improve the overall service. The change will be slow so as to not lose customers.

Hopefully, they have such great service and the checking account plan just suit me. I hope that they won't change any policy or terms. Otherwise, I might have to pull my money out once again, and searching for another banks to deserve my business.
