ING does checking, too, it's called Electric Checking. Kind of a POA if you don't have direct deposit High Yield Checking Account from ING DIRECT USA

lol...I don't have direct deposit but I've written auto deposit software....I chose it that way. I still like having a check and taking it to the bank....sorta like having a real book instead of an electronic one.

I cant stand anything paper related to the bank at all...
we save all our direct deposit stubs in folders in case someone needs proof of income
I save every cc agreement form, every statement from every financial institution etc etc too...I have mountains of paperwork thats just finances in one filing cabinet...I despise it

I used to only have the one bank until I figured out how wildly different they can be on credit products

upside to being paper hoarders was when we applied for the mortgage we had all the docs together in like ten minutes...including shit they didn't ask for but I knew they would at some point

I used to do that shirlene..I had mountains of paperwork...I stopped saving that stuff and started shredding it. I still save check stubs but I don't even save bank statements I can get a copy of all of that stuff online if I wanted to.

I just stressed me out more to have all that paperwork lol

I'm not the most organized person so...lol

 

[shirlene29]

yeah...see I used to always trash shit until there was something on Gregs credit report that I knew was erroneous and huge! and I had no paperwork to back it up...took me like two months to run down paper on it

I finally killed it and got it gone..but it made me insane
now I hoard everything

What's the minimum you have to keep in an account now to get free checking? Like $10,000? $5,000? Anyway, just do that.

Wachovia/Wells Fargo still offers free checking no minimum nutin!
