ING Business Savings Account

ING has recently been offering a Business Savings Account that has the same look and feel as their Personal Online Savings Account.

The rate is currently 1.15% for any balance. There are no minimums or fees. Sure you say 1.15% isn’t that much, but to find a Business Savings Account that has no fees or balance requirements that gives any kind of interest is very difficult.

You can link one business checking account to your business savings and make ACH transfers from and to that account and your ING Business Savings account. You can also have 3 authorized users that have access to the account. Another cool feature is that if you have a ING Orange Savings account, you can quickly access your Business Savings Account by selecting the company name in the “Go To Account” drop down box. This “Go To Account” drop down box will appear once you Business Account is set up. There is also a drop down box in the Bussiness Account screen that lets you quickly go to your Personal Orange Savings account.

If you have a small business and want somewhere to stash your cash and want to make a little return on it, then you should definitely look into opening an ING Business Savings Account. Even if you don’t have a lot of money coming in from your business, with no fees and no minimum balance and easy access to move cash in and out, it is a nice account to have open just in case.

Optionshouse Promo 2009 Get 100 Free Trades With New Account

There is a new Optionshouse promotion where you can get 100 commission free trades when opening a new account. To qualify for the Optionshouse bonus, you must open a new account with $3000. You will then receive 100 free trades that can be used within 60 days of opening your account. Make sure you fund your account with the $3000 within 45 days of your account approval. You must use the promo code FREE100 when during the account opening process.

Optionshouse is a full service discount brokerage that specializes on options, however they have the lowest stock commission I have ever seen. They let you trade stocks for a flat rate of $2.95 per trade.  Optionshouse is also protected by SIPC insurance. SIPC will cover the securities of customers of its members up to $500,000 of which $100,000 can be cash. This protection does not cover loss due to market conditions however.

I have never used them personally, but with such a low stock trading commission I may consider them as an option for my trading account.
