Closing an ING account ?

[yellow tree]

Hello,

I just closed all of my accounts with ING Direct, but I was still able to log in with my customer ID.... I called and they told me that my id will remain on file forever and i'll always be able to open an account with them if i want..But does anyone know if there's anyway that I can have them closed my file too??

thanks a lo t

I am curious as to why you closed your account with ING. I have had nothing but excellent service from them for three years. I did open an ED account as well with the final snail mail letter arriving yesterday (3-4-2006) which allowed me to start moving money in and out. Since ED is offering a better rate I may move my savings there but only after ING's Winter Sale is over next month.
Thanks for your post; at least now I know what will happen if I also decide to ever close my account with ING.

I closed my ING account because I moved all of my money to HSBC. I liked ING too until I found out that HSBC is offering a much higer rate. ING has a much eaiser user interface and I think they are also faster at transfering money than HSBC is.. But HSBC's rate is higher so I went with it.

I'm wondering if ING is going to kick their rate up nicely after the winter savings - I have been throwing money in there as much as I possibly could to take advantage of the 4.75

Me too soccerchic. As much as we can has been going in there for that rate.

Yellowtree,

Don't forget that HSBC's rate is just a promo for the moment just like ING's rate. Not sure what is going to happen to the rates come April. I have accounts in HSBC, ING, and Emigrant to take advantage of all rates.

What happens if ING goes much higher than HSBC after the promo is over?
