Hi,

Just wanted to drop you a note expressing my appreciation for your site “breadfromscratch.com” As a blogger and a freelance writer myself, I am always exited to make a long term partnerships. I tried to call you since no response.

Although, I mostly write for personal finance blogs. I would love to contribute an article for blogs that interest me a lot. It’s a great way to expand one’s portfolio, network with other bloggers and exploring new things.

I believe this will be of interest to your readers. The article will be 100% original, written with care just for your site and will not be posted elsewhere, however I would appreciate a live link back to our site. If you’re interested in this idea, please get back to me.

If you want me to write on any specific topic then let me know please..

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Comment on ING Electric Orange No Overdraft by Paul Butkiewicz

Paul Butkiewicz — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 15:43:00 +0000

ING may not charge you an overdraft fee, but they will charge you daily interest (without a grace period) which will post to your account at the end of the month. As of May 2011, the annual rate was ~11.25%, which is still comparably cheaper than holding a balance on a credit card or paying a typical $20 checking account overdraft fee. However, because there’s no grace period, don’t be fooled into thinking it’s a great alternative to a credit cards which typically don’t charge you interest for the first 20-30 days after a purchase (check your grace period in your card member agreement).

Regardless, ING’s overdraft feature is an excellent safety net for those of us that don’t like balancing a checkbook. And now that they offer paper checks, it’s become a realistic replacement option for the checking account you opened at the bank down the street.
