ING Direct raised to 3.40%

ill stick with emigrant for now.

glad i moved my $$ to emigrantdirect. ING is a JOKE?

Don't you think because of the mechanics of Pricing, ING would have to raise it rates or it will simply die in a few months.

.....nm..only got $26 there..

I am disappointed that they only raised .1%. I am going ahead to try ED too.

omg... i was gonna stay with them as long as they increased it to 3.5% or more...
i am moving to ED... hmmm.. how tooo

try this thread

If you still have your $ at ING, I have a nice bridge for ya.

I am glad I left ING for ED back when it was 3.5% to 3.3%. I mean raising it 0.10% is kind of insulting, isn't it?

I agree that ING is too little, too late. I just pulled out to go to Everbank's 4.5% promo rate for next three months. By then rates may be higher at other institutions so I'll move it again. Emigrant Direct is already at 4%, so I doubt ING will be competative.

Actually ING is adding customers. Close to 2 million this year alone.

They may be adding customers but their deposits are probably dropping. How many FW people have an account with one dollar in it because they moved everything to ED? That distorts the numbers.

But how many people who aren't on FW see the ING symbol and the ads and say wow 3.4 that pretty good. the maybe 10-20k people on FW don't make what most of the population knows.

Is there a $25 sign up bonus or that's been dead for a while?

yes ING still have the $25 sign up bonus

That works just fine.

Total funds entrusted are up 20.9% first half 2005.

I meant does ED have a referral bonus offer...

ING does offer other services. But 0.1% raise is well insulting. I already opened an account at ED and will move much of my money over there. But I am more comfortable with the ING set up. So I will probably keep both since there is no minimum. I don't think ED offers custodial account, cd, IRA or mutual funds.

ED does not have referral bonus.

I would think that ING has lost a trememdous amoutn of business to ED and others as well.
