My instincts told me it was dodgy saving in a foreign country, whose people and culture you dont understand, for a measly few extra quid.

But ING are Dutch .... though it seems things are covered . See Are your savings safe?: Full guide to protect your cash. UPDATED...
" ... After uncertainty on Wednesday, ING Direct has now confirmed that ex-Kaupthing Edge savers will now be protected under the Dutch Investor Protection Scheme.
This means in the unlikely event that ING Direct goes bust, 100% of the first €100,000 (around £78,000) will be guaranteed. This would have to be claimed from the Dutch authorities. ... "
So some good news ...

I like ING Direct and I have my mortgage with them. It was just a slight surprise that Kaupthing suddenly went. I thought they were 'safe', especially the UK arm.
