When companies give away money for free, there's absolutely no reason not to take it. The vast majority of free money offers on the Internet are scams, but every once in awhile money is given away for a reason.
Just as brick and mortar banks used to give away free toasters if you came and signed up for banking account, Internet banks are now in the same situation of needing to attract new customers. Many have turned to giving new customers free money in their account for signing up.
The first online bank to do this was paypal which offered new customers signing up a free $10 in their account. They continued this free money incentive until they reached a dominate position in online banking. Now other online banks trying to expand their customer base are offering free money to get you to sign up for an account.
Currently ING bank is offering a free $25 for signing up for their free Internet banking services. The only catch is that to get it, you have to be recommended by a friend who is already an ING member. If you use regular links to ING bank or go directly to their site, you will not get the $25 bonus. The member sends you a special link which you use to sign up for their services and ING deposit $25 into your account as a thank you for opening a new account. Simple as that.
For those who would like a free $25, simple send
