ING Direct Black Friday Special: Save ‘Til You Drop

When we first released this article last week, and said we would follow up once the CD and checking specials became available. Well, here is the updated article, with the two new deals that became available today:

In seven days, the biggest shopping day in America, if not the world, will take place. The infamous “Black Friday” is approaching and next week millions of consumers will be waking up to stand in the 4am lines to ensure that they capitalize on every available deal. ING Direct just gave the team here at MyBankTracker.com a tip that they will be participating in Black Friday with a few deals of their own, so we thought we’d pass it along.

ING DIrect Black Friday deals

ING Direct Black Friday Deals

To help holiday savers stock up on savings this year, ING Direct will offer four Black Friday and Cyber Monday specials. Below are the deals:

1. ING DIRECT will offer $683 off Easy Orange and Orange Mortgage (our mortgage products) closing costs for anyone who applies on Black Friday. Why $683? That’s what the average American will spend on gifts this holiday season, according to the National Retail Federation.

2. On Cyber Monday, November 30, ING DIRECT’s brokerage, ShareBuilder, will offer a 20 percent rebate on trades to help investors save money while they grow their investments.

3. ING DIRECT will offer a 2% APY on a 12-month Added Value CD on Black Friday. Remember, there are no minimums and no fees with ING DIRECT CDs. This CD rate will be 25 basis points higher than our current 12-month CD and higher than other major banks. You can view this deal here.

4. ING DIRECT will offer a $121 bonus when opening an Electric Orange checking account on Black Friday. Why $121? That’s the average amount consumers pay in overdraft fees annually. You can view this deal here.

So if you are looking at a new account this holiday season or maybe just want to open one for a family member, you may want to check out ING Direct.
