It is the best time to open an account in ING DIRECT now! In order to get $50 bonus, you must use one Orange key and put $100 or more in the account when you sign up to ING Direct. If you need an orange Key, please see my signature. Thanks for using it!

******************************
Promotion Details

Get in the spirit of giving and get something wonderful back in return! Now when you refer friends and family to ING DIRECT using your Orange Key®, you will be doubly rewarded. For a limited time, instead of our usual $25 Bonus, we're giving $50 to you and $50 to your friend.

Like the holiday season, this offer will be over before you know it. You have until December 31st to double up. Get your friends, family, colleagues, elves and all to sign up for ING DIRECT and open an Account with $100 or more to earn the $50 Bonus.

You can find your unique Orange Key on your statements and whenever you log in.


** Bonus deposits will be made into your Investment Savings Account, unless you have a THRiVE Chequing Account, in which case you'll receive your Bonus there. If you don't already have either Account, we'll open an Investment Savings Account for you and make the deposit automatically. $50 will be paid out to you and your friend provided that your friend is a new Client of ING DIRECT and has opened an Account with at least $100 or more by December 31, 2013.

***You have the ability to make $150 here, by not only doing a referral, but then also setting up a direct deposit to your thrive chequing account which ends Dec.31/2013 as well ($100 bonus for that).

*starts Nov.1/2013

I love ING Direct! Not only because they pay interest but their website is so simple to use.

Anyone has a clue of what they will be announcing on Nov 5th? I received this e-mail saying to tune in for a video conference Nov 5th for an announcement:

Bonjour XXXXXX,
Le mardi 5 novembre prochain, nous ferons une annonce que vous ne voulez surtout pas rater ! Puisque vous êtes un(e) Client(e) hautement apprécié(e), nous aimerions que vous soyez parmi les premiers à entendre cette nouvelle importante et vous invitons à prendre part à cet événement par l’intermédiaire d’une vidéo diffusée en direct (en anglais seulement).
Pour participer à la diffusion simultanée de cette annonce avec nos employés, rendez-vous àingdirect.ca/event à compter de 13 h 30 HE le 5 novembre prochain.
Nous sommes convaincus que vous serez aussi enthousiastes que nous !
Cordialement,

As for ING, I think I will keep using the chequing account, but will open a People's trust for the savings (1.80%) and use their TFSA 3% until ING ranks up their rates!

Pretty sure it is a name change. I received the same email.

[walkonby]

yes!! we also love ING and their generous promos. This newest one was posted in here the other day. Great minds think alike.

it is a hot deal now.

Tangerine, forward banking... Not sure it appeals to the male population with a brand name like tangerine....

[DSB]

They can call themselves Tomato, Orange or whatever fruit or veggie they like, as long as they continue to offer a free chequing account I won't complain

The good news is that Tangerine clients we will be able to access Scotiabank ATMs in 2014 and Aceto mentioned that a credit card is in the works.

More info about Tangerine can be found at tangerine.ca

ING Direct Canada announced that they are changing their name in 2014.

Tangerine

ING Direct is now owned by Scotia. Do you like banking with a tangerine?

[acosta]

This is the first I'm hearing of this. That's a shame they had to change their name.
But I also didn't know Scotia was Canadian (solely) so that makes me happy. ING was Netherlands ... I believe.

[alicia]

I agree that they needed to keep the orange colour-theme/brand, but I am not sure a citrus fruit was the way to go.

[Shwa Girl]

I agree that they needed to keep the orange colour-theme/brand, but I am not sure a citrus fruit was the way to go.

I hope they keep

• no fee banking
• promotions for high interest rate savings
• the Orange key referral $$ (or "tangerine" key)
• Thrive chequing

I hope that they don't add Scotia bank fees

[Ciel]

Much will depend on whether the bank mandarins (could not resist the pun) want to merge the two bank styles into Scotia style or wish to keep the two styles going for now.
