My Favorite Bank Just Got Better!

April 26th, 2012 at 12:16 am

I've been a member of ING since around 2003. The *only* thing about it that wasn't wonderful was that the only way to put money into your account was via transfer from another bank or mailing your check.

Today, that all changed!! They now have the service available to upload images of your check via scanner/camera to deposit, or to use your ING app on a smartphone to deposit checks!! It'll take 5 days to process the check.

I am so excited! I had been depositing checks via PayPal and then transferring to ING. This now cuts the time in half (more really, because I'd often forget to check PP to see if the deposit cleared ...)

Yahoo!

If you don't have an ING account yet and are interested, I'd be more than happy to help you out with a referral link. You get $50, and I get $10. Big Grin I just need an email address (be sure to post it in a goobly gok way so the spiders don't steal it!)

example: My email ***** 1234 *** kareem **** @ **** yahoo (not my email address Big Grin )

    That's great!!

    Seriously though, 5 days??? To process deposits? I am spoiled by my Credit Union.

    The 5 days I think is to verify the authenticity of the check. But it's great for me -- anytime I get a check it can take two or three weeks ++++ for me to get it deposited. Going through Paypal helped cut that down to ten - 14 days (deposit in Paypal, remember to check if it cleared, transfer to ING), so now I only have one step to do. Big Grin

    I don't use my Ing account for everyday banking. It's a special fund, so I don't care how long deposits take. Other non-local banks offer postage-paid envelopes, but Ing never has. The app will be a nice option.

    I wonder why I haven't gotten a notice from ING about this.

    I might hit you up on that ING bonus. Is that for regular savings accounts or sharebuilder accounts?

    Joan - I saw the announcement on FB

    James - it applies to checking accounts, not sure about sharebuilder

    Update: I snapped pics of two checks last night, and today got emails that both have been deposited and will be available on May 3. That's the normal amount of time they hold any deposit/transfer. So it looks like it'll work quite well for me. Big Grin
