Keep An Eye on ING Direct

If you're not already a customer of ING Direct, keep an eye out tomorrow. ING Direct is the main sponsor for the 2011 New York Marathon tomorrow (November 6, 2011) and might be increasing their new account bonus.

The bonus, which is often $50, goes up a few times a year. Last year, they offered $103 on Black Friday and I'm sure they will have a promotion running again this year.

I have personally been a customer of ING Direct for two years and I love how easy they're accounts are. There are no fees involved and it actually earns interest. It's only 0.2% for accounts with under $50,000 but that's still better than 0%. While some people might be worried about online banking, ING Direct is FDIC approved so you know your money is safe with them.
