Background of ING Direct

ING is a Holland-based global financial institution which operates in more than fifty countries around the world to provide financial services, insurance and asset management. One of its subsidiaries, ING Direct USA, is located in Delaware.

ING is best known for its aggressive and unconventional marketing strategies and products, especially its high yield money market accounts.

Types and Features of ING Accounts

ING offers various accounts under the Orange name - savings, checking, CD and investment, and IRA accounts. In comparison to most other banks, its rates for savings and CD accounts are high, averaging about four percent per annum.

As an attractive feature, ING accounts do not charge fees or require you to maintain a minimum balance. You also get good yields on your ING account regardless of your deposit balance.

You also feel secure about your ING account, because it is FDIC-insured.

If you have multiple ING accounts, you can have them linked so that you will be able to transfer funds from one account to another. You can also arrange for automatic transfers from your checking account to your savings account in order to earn more interest on your balances.

Online ING Accounts Services

You can easily access your ING account through the website. You can even open an ING account easily through the site, and be able to make transfers between accounts.

Online savings account and other information is available anytime of day. Your money is also available to you if you need to make debit purchases or check payments.

The ING Cafe

One of ING's innovative strategies is to operate cafes in several big cities. The cafes not only serve food and coffee drinks but also provide internet access and seminars on money management. The seminars are about one hour long and usually start at 6 PM. You can check the site for the topics and schedules at each cafe location. As space is limited, you need to send RSVP through the online site if you want to attend the seminars.
