If you’re interested in opening an online savings account with ING, and intend to put a minimum of $250 in, you can use a referral to get a $25 bonus. (I’ll get $10 as well.) Check their web site for their most current interest rate. ING does have a very easy-to-use interface and the set up process is quick. And it certainly pays more than most brick-and-mortar banks.
Here is the latest Orange Savings Account referral link:
ING savings referral one (updated March 3, 2009)
When you click on the referral link, you’ll be taken to a page that has “Open and fund your Orange Savings account in less than 5 minutes!” on it.
Click on the Open Now button and you should be taken to a page that says “Start savings with a great rate. To receive your $25 bonus, open and fund your Orange Savings Account with at least a $250 initial deposit.”
If you see “The link you’ve used to open a new Orange Savings Account is no longer valid – it has either expired or has already been used” or some other message instead, please try clearing your cookies or opening the link in a different browser. If that doesn’t work, email me at c o m m e n t s @ m o n e y c r u s h . c o m (without the spaces) and I will send you a referral directly (otherwise you won’t receive the $25 bonus.) This link can only be used by one person, so I will be updating it as necessary.
Note that if you use a referral, I will be able to see that someone has opened an account with a minimum of at least $250, but I won’t know who you are unless I’ve sent you the link directly & you’ve given me your name. If you don’t want to use a referral, you can go directly to the ING web site to open an account.
