Flashback - ING Direct Electronic Orange Checking Account!!

One year ago I was elated to finally open an ING Direct Electronic Orange Checking Account.

I blogged about it on my blog then, which is now defunct, so I figured I'd repost it today. It's sad that we dropped even further from 1.4% to a 1.1% interest rate at ING.

I'm so excited! I just opened an Electric Orange Checking Account with ING Direct! I am a huge fan of ING Direct's savings accounts because they are extremely easy to use and offer highly competitive interest rates (1.40 APY right now, which is paltry, but still great compared to brick-and-mortar banks). 

So now I am excited to be able to use ING's excellent online checking account to pay my bills and be the destination for my direct deposits. Thought I'd share my excitement with you, now I'm off to play with my new electronic checking toy...
