Savings account to open INGDIRECT

[abc123]

Does anyone know if I can use a savings account to fund a new ING Direct account? I don't have a checking account.

Thanks

From ING web site: "Accounts must be opened with an opening deposit from your personal checking account."

Thanks poundwise I'll take a look at IGObanking. Just wanted to see if anyone had any luck opening a ING savings with regular savings, but looks like iGO has little better rate.
