ING Savings Account
I've seen the adverts on the TV, and I'm thinking about starting an account with them, the 5% interest one. But, I know nothing about them.
Anyone got an account with them, are they ok, and who exactly are they?? And will my money be safe which is more important?? Seems great cos you can pay money into them or withdraw using any regular bank account, whereas for example Halifax's online account can only accept money from another Halifax account, which I don't have.
Or am I just concerned for nothing??
Thanks,
Andy.

2) Yes
3) Part of ING (International Netherlands Group) - one of the world’s largest financial services organisations (115,000 employees in 60 countries).
4) Yes - same regulatory regime/protection applies to ING Direct as any other UK bank/building society.
5) Better safe than sorry!

A&L's is probably a better bet as the rate is slightly higher at 5.35%, but my money all goes into ING (after ISA's as full) as I cant be arsed openning an A&L account!
ING is excellent however, had no problems with them in about a years use, and would defo recommend.

I have an account with them & have never had a problem. Their online banking is alot easier than some others as well. Over the few years I have had an account they have remained competitive and are always there or there abouts with their rates.
