Great way to get your feet wet and see how they work while getting some money. Oh and if anyone needs a referral to either, simply shoot me an email. However, I tend to look more at just the actual features when deciding which account I will use as my primary one.

Even though ING doesn't offer the best interest rates anymore, it still makes sense to open an account for the $25 bonus. One other I would add is bonuses offered.

Now I think with both ing and emigrantdirect you can only add additional accounts by sending them a voided check. The account you use to fund it initially only requires the information, such as routing number and account number. This is the only way around sending in a check rule that I know of now.

I set one up through the site when I initially opened the account, but looking at it now they only list options for linking other accounts by snail mailing a check; there must be some way around that but I don't know what it is. They also have options for automated monthly transfers. @Kevin Morris:

I recently opened an Amboy Direct Premium Savings account, because it offered the highest rate at the moment, and realized that I can do neither one. If Emigrant-Direct can do one or both, I may switch to them.
