Good place to park short-term money.


Deposits eligible for the Winter Save Up Sale
Only New Funds are eligible for the 4.75% APY. New Funds must:
  • Be from an external source
  • Be deposited into an Orange Savings Account
  • Be deposited any time between January 19, 2006 to April 15, 2006 – the Sale Period
  • Increase your total balances with ING DIRECT compared to your balances in all deposit accounts at the beginning of the Sale Period
4.75% Interest Calculation
To determine what portion of your Orange Savings Account balance will earn the 4.75% APY, during the Sale Period we add up all of your new deposits from an external source and then subtract all withdrawals from the account (whether internal or external) from that total. If that amount is greater than zero, it is eligible for the 4.75% APY. If an account is closed during the Sale Period, the 4.75% may not be earned for the entire period that the new funds were on deposit.

Accounts eligible for the Winter Save Up Sale

  • All new Orange Savings Accounts opened by new ING DIRECT Customers
  • All existing Orange Savings Accounts belonging to current
    ING DIRECT Customers
After the Winter Save Up Sale ends
After April 15, 2006, all the money in your Orange Savings Account will earn the current APY at that time.
For example, using the Orange Savings Account APY from December 31, 2005 (3.80%), all New Funds that are deposited on January 19, 2006, will yield 4.75% APY for 87 days until April 15, 2006, and would yield 3.80% APY after that date. So, the blended APY for the first year after account opening is 4.03%. The blended APY for New Funds that are on deposit for fewer than 87 days will be lower, as it may vary depending on the number of days the promotional rate is earned. The non-promotional APY is variable and may change during the Sale Period.

ING DIRECT retains the right to withdraw this offer at any time

Great deal - love the ING programs!
HSBC has a competitve program with a 4.80% APY until 4/30.

The more financial institutions that fight for the online banking space the better for us :)

Lander,

Do you have an account with HSBC? If so, how do you like them?

With ING, HSBC, and Emigrant Direct there's not much need to keep anything in a regular Bank with their measly 1% or so interest rates.

Last week I opened the 4.8% online account, got my ATM card and sent my deposit. Don't really have much to report on yet.

I have a few friends with ING -- they're very satisfied.
I've never heard of the Emigrant Direct -- how are they?

Couldn't agree more -- online banking definately is the way to go IMO. These places are offering better rates than the short term CD's in my area, so it's crazy not to take advantage of the offers.

Don't have an account with Emigrant Direct but have seen many positive comments regarding them on Craiglist Money Forum. Right now theyre paying 4.25% for a savings account.

Only with ING right now, I like them and their interest rate is among the best online at this time.
