ING, my favorite online bank, as always, is offering some sweet Black Friday weekend deals. You can get $27 for opening a Kids Savings Account, $107 for opening an Electric Orange checking account, and $32 for opening a Money account, ING’s new teen account.
Just click on the image below or any of the links in this post, and you’ll be taken to the ING Black Friday page, where you can see all the offers.
I lurve ING muchly (read more about why I adore them), and I’ve been a member since their virtual doors opened back in 2001. If you haven’t given ING a try yet, this is the perfect time.
ING is awesome all year ’round, but these special deals are only good through Sunday, November 27th, so don’t put it off!
Oh, and while I’m talking about deals, I wanted to tell you that on Monday (or Cyber Monday as it’s known on the interwebs), I’m going to be offering my ebook at a special price. So, don’t forget to pop in then!
(ING links in this email are my referral links. For more info, see my disclosure policy.)

I wish they’d give $ for opening more savings accounts! I opened my ING account years ago – back when you could open an account for just $10 and they’d give you $25 if you left at least $10 in the account for a certain # of months! right now I’m sad to say my balance is in the cents instead of dollars but this next year one of my financial goals is to save my overtime $ in ING as well as possibly a set amount each month(I use my old company’s credit union for check withholding since it pays a bit more interest and is harder to get to LOL!)but I don’t want everything being tied up. I’m still trying to finetune the budget but thinking the ING account may be for car repairs/vet stuff/furniture/nonemergency home repairs – basically anything that I consider an ‘emergency’ that can be covered by what’s in this account though I”m having to exercise some discipline in that a new tablet or ereader is NOT an emergency though hmm it DOES fall under a longer term savings perhaps…I think I need 2 accounts if they allow more than one – that way I can have some ‘mad money’ as well as savings!
I may check into their checking though and see how that works. I don’t want to change my current bank – it’s another credit union on the far side of where I live(about a 45 min drive sometimes or 30 at the least) but it’s a great bank.
I was thinking about opening an account at ING because the bank where I currently keep a checking and savings account is going to implement maintenance fees for what had formerly been a free checking account. But I think I need to have a checking account at a bricks-and-mortar bank for it to “link” to, right? That would defeat the purpose for me. Otherwise the Electric Orange account sounds mighty enticing to me!
Wait a minute…. I reviewed the website again, and the linking account is only when you initially open your Electric Orange account! Yay! I think I am going to switch over!
You only need your brick and mortar chkg acct for as long as it takes for your transfers to finalize; you can deposit checks to electric orange through the mail and it’s a piece if cake.
However, everyone should note that ING has sold ING Direct to capital one, and the sale closes some time in this fourth fiscal quarter. That means our beloved ING Direct will be under new management, with a company not known for customer service. Proceed cautiously.
I heard that recently…I’m a little nervous. I’ve loved ING for so many years, and I hope they don’t change for the worse!
Thanks for the info. Also hoping things do not change for the worse. I just opened an ING account, but I will keep my other one for now, too, just in case.
For those of you who are U.S. military or are direct descendants, USAA is a fantastic bank that also allows you to have as many accounts as you want – no additional charges.
Thanks for linking to this – it’s the incentive I needed to finally make the switch to ING checking. I’ve used them for savings for some time now and really wanted to move all of our banking over to them, but with one thing and another I never got around to it. Now we’re officially on our way to leaving Citi behind for good!
Very tempted to openan electric orange account up today, but I didn’t know about the Capital One issue. Thanks for the FYI. I try to support one of our local banks by doing business with them, but their hours are so inconvenient. Will be heading straight to the ING site to check things out. Thanks for the information!
