If you go to the post office and request a mover's pack, there will be an offer for opening a new Capital One account with $210 bonus. The only requirement is you have to set up direct deposit from your employer within 30 days. I had my employer deposit $1 and I got my $210 shortly. The advantage of Capital One over ING Direct is that they actually have banks all over the country. To me that's a lot more useful than online banking from ING.
Never mind:
"Even with opposition from consumer advocates, Capital One Financial could soon win final approval from the Federal Reserve for its $9 billion acquisition of ING Direct in the United States, one of the years biggest banking deals. Based in the Netherlands, ING has been forced by European authorities to divest ING Direct, an online bank, after ING required a $14 billion bailout following the 2008 financial crisis. "
