I've had them for about a year and am more than happy with them. Very easy to transfer funds back and forth and their APR just keeps rising!

Cool, I'm gonna open an account. I'm tired of Wells not giving me anything for my money(what little I have left).

I have 2 savings accounts and a CD account with them. Excellent company, my Mom and brother have also began using them and no problems from any of us.

The only catch is, your deposits are locked for about a week before you are allowed to withdrawl that money again. No biggy in my opinion.

If you are planning to open a savings account, I'd be happy to reffer you, just PM me your email address.

If your friend opens an account with at least $250, we will also deposit a $25 bonus in their new account and a $10 thank you bonus in your Orange Savings Account.

They do, but since ING Direct has been around longer, I trust them more, and a .5% difference is nothing at all UNLESS you're going to store MAJOR bank in there.

I'll grab a referral beginning of next month from one of you. The holidays are going to suck my finances dry this year.

What do you mean trust? Both are onlne banks and both insured by the fdic. And i believe emigrant has been around 50+ years. Emigrant just isn't well know

Someone want to give me a referral????

I just ran into a problem with ING today that warrants sharing. My mother had a decent amount of money sitting in ING (house downpayment since her divorce) and logged in today to find two "External Electronic Withdrawal"s for $400 each. Upon contacting ING they informed her that it was withdrawn by some Delaware investment company and they could not refund it, but were kind enough to give her contact information for the company so that she could try to get it back herself.

Their explanation was that they have to accept any incoming transfer requests with valid account numbers. They do not verify external transfers with the account owner, they just send the money...

Needless to say, ING lost a decent sized account today.

I have a Ing Orange account. So I gave them a call regarding this. What they told me was that they would have to have your account number and password and pretend to be you. I would love to know what you find out. This scares me a little.

This was not a standard transfer like you do from their website. This was a transfer request from a "financial institution" (supposedly). For instance some people give out the account number to their mortgage companies so that they can pay directly from the ING account. Except we never gave this number out to anyone. My thought is, if it is not theft, it is a company that got an account number wrong by mistake. The problem is it's not US based like we originally thought, I think it's some dummy company that shows up as "International Stock Investments". Can anyone find information on this "company"?

It has nothing to do with the security of their website, it was an EXTERNAL transfer.

(And bruteforce crackers don't get you anywhere on an HTTP connection that denies access after X failed attempts, which i'm sure theirs does.)

Any knowledge on whether or not they do the same thing with external transfers? (Not transfers to/from your linked account.)

External Funds Transfer? That must be it. It happend on Feb 2nd and March 2nd so it's obviously an automated withdrawal somewhere.

well you only get 60 days if you see a mistake

http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/credit/elbank.htm

You have 60 days from the date a periodic statement containing a problem or error was sent to you to notify your financial institution. The best way to protect yourself if an error occurs - including erroneous charges or withdrawals from an account, or for a lost or stolen ATM or debit card - is to notify the financial institution by certified letter, return receipt requested, so you can prove that the institution received your letter. Keep a copy of the letter for your records.

If you fail to notify the institution of the error within 60 days, you may have little recourse. Under federal law, the institution has no obligation to conduct an investigation if you've missed the 60-day deadline.

Once you've notified the financial institution about an error on your statement, it has 10 business days to investigate. The institution must tell you the results of its investigation within three business days after completing it and must correct an error within one business day after determining that the error has occurred. If the institution needs more time, it may take up to 45 days, in most situations, to complete the investigation - but only if the money in dispute is returned to your account and you're notified promptly of the credit. At the end of the investigation, if no error has been found, the institution may take the money back if it sends you a written explanation.

No matter what ING says..write them a letter...they should open investigation

let us know how they did it?

2-3 yrs. ago you could crack yahoo and hotmail. It only locked you from repeating attempts on yahoo after 100 attempts.. so in theory if you had the time.. I think it is down to 10 login attempts now.

The information question changes after every single atempt.

Yeah, that throws off my AI Roboform, very annoying, but I can see why they do it. Also, the letters on the dialpad change also.
