does anyone have a savings account through them? they seem great and they have a 3.4 interest earned rate at the moment.
I heart ING. I have multiple accounts with them. It's fabulous, because once you have an account you can have as many separate accounts as you want and you can switch money between them whenever you want. I have one account that takes money out of my checking for my car insurance every week (less money more often, you don't notice it as much as a big chunk all at once) that I transfer back into my checking every 6 months. It's absolutely fabulous. They also have CDs with even higher interest rates available if you won't be needing your money for a while (mine is a 1-year).
what about the 10day wait for transfers?

In regards to the 10 day wait on transfers, that is after you transfer money into ING, there is a 10 day wait before you can transfer the money back out.
If you want to transfer the money from ING to your checking account, that will usually only take 2-3 days.

I have ING too. I've had it for YEARS... I'm pretty sure it was the first online savings account that offered such a competitive rate (it was 6% back then but dropped with every Fed drop, and has been increasing with every increase). HSBC does offer a higher rate at the moment, but HSBC is new to this from what I know. I have had my checking account with them for 3 years and I just recently started to hear about this online savings account. To be honest, I'm worried that they can keep it up. ING has a high rate because there's like no overhead - HSBC can't say the same thing because there are branches and ATM's, etc. while ING is mostly virtual, so I wonder if this will last. Emigrant is completely unknown to me... I'm planning on keeping my $ in ING for now and watching HSBC. I might start looking into Emigrant too as admittedly I'm intrigued. But as far as savings accounts go, these are by far the highest savings account rates you can get - most banks give 1-2%. Otherwise, you need to look at different vehicles for your $.

I love ING! When I first opened my account with them, they gave me $25. That is where all of our wedding savings is. It collects good interest and is easy to access.
I have an account through them at it is really good. I am very happy with it.
I used to work for ING!!!! Love 'em!
I have had an ING account for years now. I originally had a CD with them and changed to the Orange Savings last year. It has been truly instrumental in helping me plan for my wedding. I have automatic deductions on a weekly basis from my checking account and whenever it's time to pay for something (like I had to pay for my dress last week) I just transfer the money over, which takes about 2 days and voila. I withdraw and pay. It's the greatest! I will definitely use it to begin saving for my house once all wedding stuff is paid off.
Sounds good. We've got our down payment for a house sitting in savings getting NOTHING (like .4%) I gotta look into this!

Try EmigrantDirect.com
They have historically better rates than ING Direct. Currently 4% compared to ING's 3.4%.
They also have just as good (if not better) service than ING.
I also think they have 4% interest checking!![]()
