I would really like for ING Direct to start up a discount brokerage, I bet the prices and software and customer service would all be superb, and bright orange too. You can see Canadian discount brokerages prices side by side at http://www.discountbrokerages.ca. Compare them really easily.

So that’s a no to discount broker , just because he takes 3min. to say that does not make it a yes.

Thank you!

For the most part I’m happy with ING Direct. The only thing that bugs me is something Peter Aceto pointed out that the competition does is promote featured products with high rates – and then later they lower these rates. Take for instance the Tax-Free Savings Account Rates: http://www.ingdirect.ca/en/accounts-rates/historicalencadtfsaisa.jsp

I have a recent beef with ING that I think the public needs to know about.

To make a long story short I attempted to change my mailing address since I no longer live in my former community, having sold my home. I have chosen to live in a travel trailer and thus have no street address. Since I couldn’t provide a street address ING FROZE my account. I was denied access to MY OWN MONEY.

This is an intolerable high-handed tactic, and discriminates against anyone that chooses not to live in a bricks and mortar house.

Be careful dealing with ING.
