They are called sub accounts by some, but technically they are just additional accounts that are very easy to open – so each on accrues separately…

I’ve heard good things about the sub-account feature at ING. I could break out my Christmas Club, tag fees and other annual or semi-annual sinking funds into these sub-accounts and ING keeps up with it? Is the interest divided amongst them, or do they accrue interest separately?

I use ING also, but I keep most of my money at AmtrustDirect. Their interface is not as slick, but they consistently pay a higher interest rate (currently 4.10%). I am not affiliated in any way with AmTrust, just a satisfied customer.

I am definitely a fan of ING. I haven’t used any other online banks, but when I keep on hearing about how ING’s is the best interface, why would I want to?

@Larry
There are better rates out there than ING, but I have yet to find a total package that is better than ING. They have a good thing going…

Thanks for your comparison/contrast of ING and Virtual Bank. I’ve been considering opening an ING Savings account soon, and this definitely confirms that to be the right decision. I’ll be in touch about the referral cash.
