By now you’ve probably heard of ING Direct and their orange savings account… Maybe you’ve seen their clever commercials with a person sitting on a park bench with the letters “ING” visible to their right. It looks like they’re obscuring the rest of the word, and a voice-over says something like: “Is it a beginning, or is it an ending?” Only it’s more clever than that, but you get the point.
Or maybe you’ve just seen their ugly orange banner ads on the interweb. I don’t know why they chose orange as their color, but it’s so well done that I find myself associating the color with saving money unconsciously. Unlike UPS’ “What can brown do for you?” which is about the stupidest marketing campaign I’ve seen in years – are they changing their name from United Parcel Service to Brown? But I digress…
ING direct offers a high interest savings account. The yield is about 3.40% APY (at the time of this post) and it is FDIC insured, unlike a Money Market Account. It’s not the highest rate around to be sure, but it is just about universally hailed as the best user interface in online banking. They make it so easy to set up an orange savings account or CD that many people keep multiple accounts for everything from yearly car insurance premiums to property tax to general savings to a “new car fund” – you name it! Literally. You just create an account, give it a name and fund it with a deposit.
They make paying yourself first a snap with scheduled automatic deposits. That’s why so many people make it their first serious savings haven when they’re building their emergency fund and starting out on the American dream of building wealth and financial freedom. Another great thing about ING is that they offer referrals.
Yup, that’s right, I refer you and you open an orange savings account then we both get a little extra $$.
If you open this account with an initial deposit of at least $250, you will receive a $25 bonus and I will get a $10 thank you bonus. To qualify for this bonus, you must use one of the links below.
Rules of the game: Bonuses are only paid for accounts that are opened with an initial deposit of at least $250. Initial deposit does not include bonus. The $25 bonus is available only for new accounts with a new Customer as primary owner. Only one bonus will be provided per household. Bonus starts earning interest upon account opening, but is unavailable for withdrawal for 30 days.

Open an ING account and get $25! And of course, if you decide that you’d rather not begin building wealth for yourself and start down the path to freedom, that’s OK too.
