If you or one of your parents was in the military, it is a seriously great opportunity for banking, insurance, and investing. I have ING too for rainy day savings, they are pretty cool too.

If you don't mind, I'm going to link to this post on my website. Even though I'm a a happy customer of ING Direct, I'm in the process of moving some of my emergency fund to Vanguards Tax Exempt Money Market fund (VMSXX). The current Yield is 2.83%. Since it's tax exempt, that's equivalent to 3.77% if you are in the 25% tax bracket. Not bad! Of course, it's not FDIC insured. I’m also a fan of ING Direct.

I travel a lot internationally and they have some of the most user-friendly policies for using foreign ATM's. Also, they refund up to fifteen dollars' worth of ATM fees in the US, and their online banking systems are streamlined and secure. Their financial advice and customer support are top-notch, as well. Because phone and email are the only ways they communicate with account holders (they don't have physical branches), their systems are well-designed and it's easy to talk to a human-- even when you're eleven time zones away!

It was the first online bank I tried a few years ago and I must say I have been completely pleased with the service. I did have one time when they reduced my overdraft (not that I would ever use it) but I called and they got it fixed the next day. They have great customer service and the site is easy to use. It is my main savings account and I also have my main checking there with their Electric Orange too. I love ING too.
