If you’re not yet a customer over at ING, there’s lots of reasons to open an account there. The interest rate is a lot higher than you’re likely to find at your local bank (even at a credit union), and it’s simple enough to link it up to your local account for easy access.
Moreover, they often have special codes for free money. Yep, free money! Right now, for example, use code EL542 to get $25 just for opening an Electric Orange checking account. It’s not exactly a sack of money, but it’s $25 more than you have right now.

[...] Want Not has a code for $25 when you open an ING checking account. I’m going to count the pennies I make (post-nanny paycheck) when I go back to work very carefully and I definitely want my own account and debit card for that money, since I am going to try to contain certain expenditures (read: eBay) to that account. Perhaps this would be a good way to do it. Posted by meagan Filed in sage finds [...]

I have a savings account at ING and have automatic deposit and I try to forget that I even have it. I love that you can separate one account into different funds. I have four, one for each member of our family, and a separate family emergency fund. I don’t have a checking account, though, but I am going right over there to see if I can get the $25 even if I am already a member. Thanks!
