I’m a really big fan of ING Direct: I like being able to do pretty much all of my banking online and ING is happy to let me do so. An added bonus of eliminating all those tellers that seem necessary for any other bank is that I get higher interest rates on my savings. My fondness for ING Direct aside, however, it has made the news recently for making life a little easier for travelers.
While most banks require you to call in whenever you’re planning to trael abroad to make sure that they don’t accidentally freeze your account, the Consumerist reports that ING lets you take care of such notifications online:
ING Direct customers, for one, go to their checking account maintenance page and fill out the form that asks about travel info.
If you’ve been thinking about opening an ING Direct account, I’d love it if you used the ING Direct link below. If you open an account with $250, ING will add $25 to your starting deposit. I get a little bump as well — a $10 referral fee.
