Grace – 5 days!?!? OYE!
Must be your bank… mine usually only takes 2-3. Which still is a great deterrent… no “emergency fund shoe shopping” allowed! ;)

I have ING too, and like Lara they periodically increase their APY, which is great. It also takes about 5 days to transfer money from them to my checking account, which is a deterrent to quick withdrawing. it makes the account truly an emergency fund.

I’m personally a huge fan of ING… I’ve had an account there for several years now, and have consistently watched my APY % raise every 3-6 months.

And you’re right – no minimum balances!

ING has loads of other ways to save too – it’s really worth exploring. (If you want an invite, or anyone does for that matter, let me know – When you join off an invite, and your first deposit is $250 or more, you get a bonus $25 and the person who invites you gets $10!)

Great site going here so far! Welcome to b5!
