Still Don't Have an ING Account?

Still Don’t Have an ING Account?

Everyone should have a high-yield savings account. Why? Because your bank is probably offering something close to 0.50% interest, which is nothing. If you have $1,000 dollars in your savings account, they’re paying you $5 for keeping your money. High-yield accounts like ING are paying 3% right now, which means that same $1,000 pays you $30 a year. That’s free money that, over the years, adds up to a pretty decent amount.

Since I opened my ING account a couple of years ago, I’ve made over $300 in interest. Why wouldn’t you want that kind of free money?

If you open an ING account through their referral program (and put in at least $250), you’ll get an immediate 10% return on your money because they’ll give you $25 for free. I, in turn, get a $10 referral bonus. Everyone wins!

Lately I’ve noticed that I’m linking to my ING referral page a lot and I’ve still only referred three people out of a possible 25. Some of you may think I’m being greedy and just want my $10 — fair enough. But this is one of those rare things in life where I actually use/believe in the product that I’m trying to sell you on. Check out the referral page for all the reasons you should open a high-yield savings account. And if you decide against it, at least go to one of the other banks and open an account with them, then come back here and drop me a message so I know I got through to somebody. Stop giving your bank your money if they aren’t paying you a better rate!
