Free $$ For Opening ING Accts

We use ING accounts for to save for all kinds of things. It's so simple to set up as several savings accounts (sinking funds) as you like. So if you're saving for vacation just create an account for vacation. These accounts must be linked to a traditional bank account for transferring funds, but it's a great tool. They even have checking accounts using MasterCard.

FAQs

I have an ING Acct, will creating a kids acct count as a "new customer"? Absolutely!

Do you have to have a minimum amount to open the account? Nope!

Do you have to do direct deposit to open the account and get the bonus?
Nope! You do have to make 7 purchases using your check card (they can be pin-based, so you're using it like a debit or signature based where you're using it like a credit card) or person-to-person transfers (it can be a combination of the two as well)

Does ING have referrals? Yes, current customers can get $10 for every new customer that they refer and new customers still get the account bonsuses, too.
Once you've opened your account, you can "refer" the other members in your house. You can only have one Electric Orange account per household, but this will work for the savings accounts.
