I’m assuming Lehman brothers sent out the exact same letter a week before it collapsed.

No one believes the BS, its just the attitude. Of course we know it is a business out to make money. But can always count on you for the negative comment! I know you have something important to add, would love to see some positivity once in a while Tim!

yeah, if u believe that b.s. then i have some mortgage property for u. ING doesn’t care…there CEO even said so. If they cared, they would offer higher rates. the letter should have gone: thank you loyal ING customers for giving us all your deposits so we can make tons of money on them by giving u the lowest rates possible on your savings account. but hey, that’s the price u pay for having sub accounts.

Pretty satisfied with ING. Looking forward to when savings rates take off again. I use them to supplement BOA’s fantastically lame savings instruments. They also provide some nice IRA options through their recently acquired ShareBuilder brokerage service.

I haven’t gotten the letter yet, but it confirms my choice of banking with ING Direct.

I got the same letter. Things like this make me feel better dealing with them. They also post monthly hints for saving. More banks need to identify with the consumer better in this economic climate. ING at least gives me the feeling like they aren’t out to get me.
