Re: About EmigrantDirect savings account (stick with ING)
i was also deciding between these two and went with ING
i have yet to use either, but it seemed that ING was a bit cleaner and easier to use the rates can also fluctuate so just because there is a .35 difference now doesn't mean it will stay that way this difference is also not very substantial to me at this point

Re: About EmigrantDirect savings account (stick with ING)
i never said i don't trust them -- just overall feel, i like ING better. ING is also a more well-reputed (not to mention well-financed) entity. LIke i said, they're both FDIC insured, so security should be a non-issue. I also like ING's customer service reps better, they've been very friendly with me.

wow, thanks for the screenshot -- i just don't have that external transfers link...maybe i need to email them or something. [/ QUOTE ] I'd give them a call... Have you set up your checking account to be linked to your emmigrant direct account yet? Emmigrant direct will make a small deposit into your checking account to verify it. Has this occured yet?

Is that code still working? It looks like that thread was axed over at fatwallet..... [/ QUOTE ] hmmm, not sure. It worked for me when I set up an account last week. And it was supposed to be good until the end of the year. Not sure why the FatWallet thread got deleted.

[/ QUOTE ] yep, that's all over and done with. THe $5,000 that i used for my initial funding deposit is showing up just fine...but i've decided to go with ING, so i want to withdraw it all, but i don't have that external transfer button you do. I'd call them, but i have my jaw wired shut for 3 weeks [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] guess it will have to wait.

[ QUOTE ] I have an Emigrant account and don't understand why you don't trust them. They are an excellent, higher interest alternative to ING (I think 3.15% vs 3.5 is pretty substantial) [/ QUOTE ] Could you speak to some of Teddy's points about the interface design and the customer service turnaround? I am going to open an account at one of the two, and the comments in this thread have me leaning towards ING. [/ QUOTE ] The snail mail does take about 2 weeks to arrive but it does not take another 3 days to register like Teddy said. I didn't mind the extra wait nor do I care about pretty grahpics or how well known my company is. My concerns are the interest rate, decent customer service and a functional website all of which emigrant has.
