I was also excited about a week ago to learn that they have upped their interest on the tax free savings account to 3.0% (sad to think I'm excited about 3.0% interest rate!) until October. Since the regular rate is down to 1.35 I finally opened that kind of account and it only took a couple minutes of clicking and it was all done internally through the website.

I just noticed it too the other day! Unfortunately, my TSFA is with PC Financial (at the moment, its doubling as my Baby-efund and the way I funded it was $5 here and $2 there. I found it was easier to do that with PC since I could instantly transfer it over. I wonder why one is at 3% and the other at 1.35?

I suspect the higher rate is to try to encourage new accounts that are funded with deposits of "new" money from outside of ING.
