I have been banking with ING Direct for the past 3 years and have been a strong advocate of them all along the way.
I always recommend that people set aside money in an emergency fund that is 100% liquid. Usually I will direct them to ING Direct because of the 3.0% rate as opposed to the whopping 0.25% that local banks offer in their savings accounts.
I feel that when interest is paid TO YOU this is good. When you can get more that is BETTER!
I have talked many times about alternative income streams and this is a major component on what comes in (from me just sleeping).
Plus right now all ING Savings accounts are paying 3.00% and are FDIC insured up to $100,000. What this means is, it is not risky. ALSO, by following a link from an existing member, ING will IMMEDIATELY GIVE you $25 if you open your savings account right now with at least $250.
You can even set up your account to automatically draft your account on a set frequency (weekly, monthly, etc).

E-mail me at chriskakarasblog@gmail.com with “ING Direct Referral” in the subject and I will e-mail you a referral link so you can get the $25 for opening a new account.
