3.0% TFSA with ING Direct

A tax-free savings account (TFSA) is one of the newest products here in Canada.  It allows you to save your money without having to pay any taxes on the investment gains in that account.

With ING Direct, they offer a TFSA savings account to park your idle cash - at an astounding 3.0% interest rate per year.  There is no other Canadian bank offering that right now, at most is about 0.75%.

If you want a safe investment to park those extra dollars, choose ING Direct.  Just another bonus to signing up with ING.  Remember when you sign up to use the Orange Code 33889236S1to get your $25 bonus.

How to sign up:
  1. Go to http://www.ingdirect.ca/en/signmeup/index.html and choose "Show me the options" under Savings accounts - TFSA should be listed there.
  2. Fill out the online form and be sure to put in the orange code of 33889236S1
  3. Mail in a preprinted cheque with your name on it with a minimum balance of $100
  4. Wait for the cheque to arrive, and ta da!  $25 will be added into your account - this is as easy as free money!
This offer is only valid for the first 50 people with this code - I'll keep you all posted with any other offers of free money!

Get $25 for free - ING Direct

Welcome!

Ever heard of ING Direct?  ING is a bank (much like any other), but is based purely online.  I just set them up and got a free $25 from just signing up.

All you have to do is deposit a minimum of $100 into your account - I opened mine in less than 3 business days!

You must use this orange code: 33889236S1 to ensure you get the $25 bonus.

Steps: 

  1. Complete the online Enrollment Form. Don't forget to include the 
    Orange Key you received.
  2. If you've opened an Investment Savings Account, RSP or GIC, write a pre-printed personal cheque, payable to you, for $100 or more for your first deposit. The $25 Bonus will be added to your first deposit.

Don't  believe me?  Check out a screenshot of my account: 


Once you open your account and receive your bonus, you can do whatever you with it - open a GIC, TFSA (with a 3.0% rate!), or use it as your everyday savings to pay bills.  Better yet, ING is all free with no transaction costs.
