    Ive recently opened an ing account and apart from waiting a few days for the money to be transferred from my current account everything seems to be going okay. Ive even telephoned them to see if Id transferred successfully and they were very helpful

    I've never had a problem with ING, from opening to managing my account on-line. I'd give them 10/10 tbh.

    Hope this doesn't jinx me.... ;)

    I've had no problems either. I like the fact that you can time your withdrawls and payments. I don't like the interest rate at the mo though so there's only 0.01p in there.

    Tip: if you don't want to apply on line, there's usually an application form for post apps in the sunday times.

    thanks for that tip. Have been trying to get partner to open an account with them, but he refused point blank to phone himself, and they refused to send the form on my request.

    Have been with ING since March and have had no problems at all

  • Never had any problems with ING. If you are kept waiting ringing their 0845 number - DON'T ! Phone their 0800 number (specifically for NEW customers). It answers quickly (instantly usually!) and seems to be exactly the same as the other once you've listened to 2 announcements and pressed a couple of buttons! One big bonus with ING (for me!) is that they actually show you interest earned on the first of every month; it's nice to see your money increasing on a monthly basis. I can't find any other savings accounts (online or otherwise) which do this. Most make you wait a year before you can view your interest (yes I have a calculator but when you see it online it looks official!) Finally, ING staff tell me that they are to offer Mortgages ' in the near future ' !

    Have been with ING since virtually day one and have never really had any issues (web site crashed quite a lot in the early days - but everyone has teething problems)

    The thing I quite like is the ability to create other accounts within my (or rather my wife's customer number - she claims the interest gross) online.  This way we can have different accounts for different aspects.  For example the one called "SBT" is, funnily enough, the money fro SBT's.  This way I have no confusions in ensuring the money is there and easily avaialble if I need to payback the debt.   :-)

    Musicman - I like to see my interest going on monthly as well - Intelligent Finance do this with both savings account and ISA. It gives me a warm glow every month seeing how much interest I'm making on SBTs......
