Hey Pepper pm me your first and last name and email address and I'll do it now.
Ok since people are still reading this post I figured I'd better edit it. In order to send a referral to you to get the free $25 I need your email, first and last name. You can just pm it to me instead of posting it here for security reasons. I promise I won't stalk you.
You both should have email! I love mine so I hope yall love yours. The rates go up every quarter and I always get little emails when they do that just make my day (I'm such a money saving dork)

An Orange Account is a bank account set up through ING Direct . It acts as a savings account that is linked up with your regular bank account so you can transfer money between the 2 accounts when you want. The reason so many people use it is because they offer higher interest rates on your savings than a regular brick and mortar bank because they are online only. Right now the rate is 2.35%. They are FDIC insured so you don't have to worry about that.
It is easy to save money with this bank account and you can direct deposit into it or set up automatic savings plans so that it will take out a certain amount each month or whenever you choose and you don't have to worry about it. I love mine and have saved more money that I knew I was saving.
Oh and you can open up 9 mini savings accounts under your one big account so that you can specify what you are saving for. For example I have general savings, christmas fund, wedding dress fund for the future, vacation fund, treadmill fund.
Let me know if you have any other questions. If you have some one refer you you get $25 free vs. opening it on your own. Just FYI
