Ok, thanks for the explanation

So if you had a 100K you would go for Ing? I forget most people dont have 100K or more.

But how fast would the Statement become available for viewing online? - a couple days or much longer?
Any one can speak from your experience? TIA!I was just notified today March 12) that my Feb statements are now available to view. But it is really just a formality; the online account activity displays transactions daily (including interest credited at the end of the month) and a running balance, so if you want to reconcile your account you can do so pretty anytime you want.

Finally got an email today about my savings account -

Dear xxx
Account number ending in: xxxx

Thanks for choosing E*TRADE for your banking needs. Your Complete Savings Account comes with more than just a high yield, including:

etc...


But, still can't see the account when I log in. Really is taking forever, but as long as I get my $25 I'll be patient

I had the same problem, I think it was because I signed up on ETrade before I opened the account. I called them and they walked me through it. I had to go to the main page, click on "Banking" on the left side, and then slightly to the right, under "Maximize savings", there is

Just opened a new account?
Set up Online Account Access

Click on "Set up onlnine..." link. Here, you will enter your acct num, soc sec num, and you will have to set up a new username and password. It sucks that I had to (and you probably will have to) change it, but once I did that, I saw my initial deposit and account.

I already did contact them and I posted the response earlier in this thread. They basically said they were getting swamped and it would take a bit longer.

I dont know for starters it a MMA account vs Checking account. It pays 5.05% with balances of $1 and up vs ING EO does not pay a higher rate till you get over $100K. This account refunds unlimited ATM charges if your account has $5K or more. ING EO refunds no ATM charges but allows you make withdrawls only at All point ATMS. This account is limited to 6 transaction per month vs ING EO is a checking account and has no limits.

Do you need me to keep listing more difference for you? Or you get the picture that your comparing an savings accounts vs checking.

No ATM access at all with the Complete Savings account though.

I signed up for the account, and it says that it will take 3 days for the money to be credited to the account for each transfer I have set up since starting the account.3 days to become available for withdrawal. It posts the day you request it.

*The opening deposit does take longer to post, since it comes from an unlinked, unverified account.

Anyone notice something weird with the available balance? I made my initial deposit (when I opened the acct) 6 days ago. It seems my "available" amount rotates daily between zero and my initial deposit amount. Today it's back to zero again (but I can see my deposit when I click on details, it's just not available) I did another transfer into the acct today, and my "7 day projected amount" is the amount of my transfer (doesn't include my initial deposit) Weird. And frustrating. Even though I don't need access to it now, I hope it isn't a problem when I do need it...

It is only that initial deposit that you made that has a super long hold on it (since it came from an unverified account).
Any transfers you make from your verified linked accounts will be available in 3 business days.....
