ING Now Offering Traditional Checks

Is this a sign of the times with the buyout of ING by Capital One?

Check out the story below:

Just to give some background on my interest in ING, they are, by far, the best bank I have ever used–traditional or online. I have been with them since 2006. When I heard Capital One was buying them, I practically cried. ING’s customer service is top notch (I also utilize Sharebuilder, one of their investment products where you can get $50 when you start investing, by the way) and their site is so fluid, it makes transactions and understanding your finances so easy! In addition to that, their app on my Blackberry works flawlessly and, in my experience, always–and I do mean always–in real time.  Obviously, I was a very happy customer. Unfortunately, I was looking sideways at ING one I heard about the acquisition by Capital One. I’ve stuck with it for the time being, as I’m thinking it will take at least a year before the takeover is complete, but the story linked above just made me even more uneasy, as one of ING’s checking account featured was that is is an online checking account, which comes with no checks (this is likely way it is called Electric Orange now)!

What do you all thing? After reading the story above, or if you are already an ING or Capital One banking customer, do you see this acquisition as a benefit or are you more than a little nervous about what the future hold for ING and Capital one?

Money Blog Online Is Back Up!

Yes, MBO was down for a while. There was a problem with the WordPress theme I had installed which locked me out of the site altogether. I installed a new theme and things seem to be working well. With that said, here is what you can expect to see in the upcoming weeks:

  • A review of ChaCha!
    • I recently began working with ChaCha as a freelance guide. I will be presenting a brief review of what being a ChaCha expeditor entails.
  • A review of two new HYIP’s I signed up for
    • There are two HYIP’s I decided to sign up for which I am fairly pleased with. I will let you know which ones they are and how consistent they have been.

These are just some of the things that you’ll be caught up on in the days and weeks to come for Money Blog Online.com.

The Site Is Up – Who Knew?

Hi all,

My apologies for the absence of posts. I thought the site had gone on haitus, but was informed by a friend that it was not (thank you, Friend).

With that said, I am currently typing up posts for the upcoming weeks with some new and useful information for Money Blog Online readers.

In the mean time, let me ask you: do you think MoneyBlogOnline should join Twitter? I’m not a Twitter person, but I am aware that some of the MBO readers are and may want to be updated on new posts and online incomes via a tweet.

‘Til next time!
