Thanks for this article. I had an account with ING years ago, but closed it, so am not eligible for the $25 bonus. However, my husband was eligible so I opened an account for him. When I tried to open a new joint savings last night, I came to the “joint account owner” must use own credentials so I appreciate you confirming and letting people know they need to have that information (or open a new account).

I like the ING Online Accounts. No fuss and it helps make it easy to save money. I haven’t tried the multiple accounts. Great to keep in mind especially if you are saving for something special. Thanks for the savings tip.

I love this feature the Wife and I have:
Long Term Savings;
Christmas Fund;
Car Fund;
Wedding Fund (for future gifts we know we have to give);
Vacation Fund (went on a trip to Newport RI without spending a dime outside of what was already saved); and
Parents’ Gifts – An account which we put the cash gifts received by her parents for the future purchase of something special.

Ally bank also allows you to have multiple accounts and to “name” them whatever you please. I agree, it’s a neat feature!

@Gaelic – I agree, FNBO: too clunky and this can’t be done there. I at least know you can’t change the names. Tahiti sounds like the perfect place to save for. I hope you get there soon!

@Stephanie – Thanks for your comment. That’s what I’m hoping for this time, to be reminded to stay with it.

Boy do I like this feature! I used to keep track of what money was for what goals on paper… what a nightmare! It’s really nice to be able to just glance at my account online and know how much is in each goal so far!

You know, despite the rate being a measly 1.40%, I decided to go ahead and do just that – open a couple savings account and set them up for categories in which I need to save money. I could have done this with FNBO but I find their website to be a bit more awkward to navigate.

Up next I need to start a separate account for our honeymoon. Our dream location is French Tahiti (I do speak the language). My SO said that he’s afraid that if we were to indeed go there, he’d not want to come back.
