I recently opened accounts at OneUnited and ING.

I just put $250 in the ING account to get the $25 bonus, which is already in there. I plan on transferring all of that to OneUnited once the bonus money "vests" (Dec. 3rd).

OneUnited was a lot more strict on identity verification than ING was (not necessarily a bad thing, but it took much longer to open the account). Also, I made my OneUnited a joint account, and the other account holder has to send in their DL to verify. No big deal.

Both sites seem to have a straight-forward web-interface.

ING had more security "features" that needed to be setup for getting access to the account (not necessarily a bad thing either but gosh, 5 security questions???).

Anyways, thanks again Poundwise for the OneUnited recommendation. Let the high-yield saving commence.
