New ING Direct Added Value CD

October 7, 2009 by Jim

ome.ingdirect.com/products/images/add_value_CD.gif" class="rborderless">Yesterday, ING Direct announced a clever new take on CDs – it’s the Added Value CD. The idea is very simple, you can get a 12 month CD with a rate of 2.25% if you open it and fund it with “new money” from a non ING Direct account. According to their terms and conditions, the new money must increase your total deposit balance as of yesterday, October 7th, 2009. Withdrawing money and then contributing it again will not work.

The 2.25% APY rate is a 0.15% premium on ING Direct’s current CD rates and it beats the best CD rates in that maturity range. With inflation at a scant 0.19%, getting 2.25% looks pretty good.
