Hi, does this require one to have an ING savings account already?
Kenny,
Per ING’s website, you do not need to have another ING DIRECT account in order to apply for Electric Orange!
Hi Kate, thanks for the reply. I just opened an account but it seems that the link you provided will only work if you already have a customer number with ING. So I went on to the website myself and sign up for a checking account directly. When I call customer service to inquire about the sign up bonus, the person told me that I needed a referral link (which I don’t have), and she told me that I’ll only get the $25 sign up bonus.
