I’m a big fan of ING and have written about the most excellent savings rates and other features offered by the virtual bank on more than one occasion. If you haven’t already opened an account, then there’s no time like the present. ING just announced a Winter Save Up Sale wherein you’ll earn 4.75% interest on any new deposits from now through April 15 (new and existing customers). The current standard rate is already just below 4%, so my prediction is that, come April 15, they’ll increase the standard rate to 4.75% — or at least close to that.
I still have a couple referrals left, so contact me if you want one, and you’ll earn $25 free if you make at least a $250 initial deposit.
