Open an ING DIRECT Orange Savings Account and get a $25 bonus...

Category Everything Else
I received an email the other day from ING DIRECT, an online bank that I use as our "emergency" savings account.  They are running a promotion where they will add $25 to your account if you open an account of $250 via referral.  Not a bad 10% interest rate right out of the box...  :)  And in the interest of full disclosure, I'd be credited with a $10 "referral fee".

ING DIRECT is a online bank that links your account with any other banking account you might have.  In my case, I have the account linked to my personal checking account, and all the withdrawls and deposits are done via online transfer.  What I really like is that they currently pay 4.40% interest rather than the measly .75% you often see with regular passbook accounts...

I got started with ING DIRECT via a friend on this type of promotion, and it's been an extremely profitable way to park the money I don't want to use on a day-to-day basis.  If you're interested in taking advantage of this opportunity, send me an email at duffbert+ing AT gmail.com and I'll forward a referral email to you.  Normally I wouldn't bother with something like this, but I've been really impressed with their setup and service...

Gravatar Image1 - We've had an ING account for about a year. We started at around 3.5% and it's only gone up since then. We're very pleased!

Gravatar Image2 - ING's Business Principles, state, “ING supports the aims of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and endeavors to apply its principles throughout its operations worldwide,” A key element of the UN’s Declaration of Human Rights, is the right to form a trade union.

Unfortunately, when asked by the USW and AFL-CIO to assist in resolving a labor dispute between the USW and National Wire Fabric (NWF), a US subsidiary of Gamma Holding NV, ING Group absolved itself of any responsibility. This is despite the fact that ING Group is the single largest shareholder (26.19%) of Gamma Holding. Aris Waterler of subsidiary ING Parcom is a member of Gamma's Supervisory Board.

ING, which has a controlling interest in Gamma, wants to manage retirement accounts for union members, but does not want to act to ensure that even the most basic union rights are respected. The company cannot have it both ways.

Based on a record of questionable investment and business practices and double talk on core issues of labor and human rights ….
