ING Direct Savings Account and CD's Reviews

My husband and I finally made the switch to internet banking this year.  We researched several online banks and were sold on the ING Direct Orange Savings Account. After receiving only pennies in interest from our local bank and credit union, we now receive a 3.0% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) on our savings account.  I have yet to find an actual bank branch to offer that high of a rate on a savings account.  — Even better, using a referral link from a friend who already had an account with ING Direct, my husband and I both received $25 in… read full review »

ING Direct savings accounts and CDs have gotten me out of debt.
