Earn A Higher Interest Rate With ING Orange Savings
Posted: Monday, January 29, 2007
By: John W. DeFeo

The post holiday shopping season is winding down — here’s to hoping there are some remnants of your Christmas bonus. For many, extra cash often languishes in a zero return checking account. Bad idea on two fronts:


-Your money is far more susceptible to theft
-Your money should provide you with more money. That’s what it’s there for.

Alas, the days of the savings account are virtually dead. Over the past 25 years, we’ve witnessed a steep decline in interest rates — typically fetching less than a percentage point. Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are a viable and popular option to increase your returns, but tend to limit one’s liquidity as they mature over a fixed period of time. So what can you do...or that is to say “How can I do nothing and get more money?”

Simple, open an ING Direct Orange Savings account.

FDIC insured ING Bank offers 4.5% interest on investments with no fees or minimums and best of all, no need to change banks. Your Orange Savings Account is automatically linked to your checking account with 24-hour access via the web or phone.

For those living hand to mouth or not-quite-ready-to-invest, the ING Orange Savings account offers the simplest, risk-free way to make extra money.
