ING Direct, an internet bank and the sponsor of the ING New York City Marathon and other marathons worldwide, is having an incredible Black Friday weekend deal. Open a no-fee checking account with them by Sunday November 25th at midnight eastern, and use their debit card 10 times in 45 days and they will give you $125.
This is a no brainer. ING Direct has no fees (they don't even have an overdraft fee), no minimum balance and they actually pay you interest and support professional running. LetsRun.com has a business savings account with ING and LRC's Weldon Johnson (Wejo) has been a customer for at least 7 years with a checking, savings, and formerly a mortgage account with them. Wejo wrote a glowing review of ING 2 years ago.
Last year, ING offered a $107 sign-up bonus and hundreds of LetsRunners took part. This year the bonus has increased to $125.

If you're still not convinced keep reading.
1) No Fees
ING does not charge fees. No monthly fees. No over draft fees. No ATM Fees. No fees at all. If you actually do overdraft they just charge you interest (11.25% at the time of writing) for the number of days you're balance is under $0. So if you overdraft $100 for 10 days, you'll pay ING 31 cents in interest total. That is not a typo 31 cents. Many banks would charge you $35 on day 1.
2) No Minimum Balance There is no minimum balance with ING.
3) Free ATMs ING is an internet bank so there aren't branches (that's how they save all their money). ING never charges you an ATM fee but a lot of ATM machines do. To get around this ING is a member of the Allpoint ATM network and all of their 35,000 ATMs are free. So in the Dallas-Fort Worth area where Wejo lives, 7-11s are a part of the Allpoint network. So they all are free. ING has been purchased by Capital One, so now all Capital One ATMs are free as well. You can see the free ATM locator here.
4) Mobile Banking App It used to be to deposit checks, you'd have to mail them in to ING. No longer. With the mobile banking app, now you just take a picture of the check and electronically deposit it to your account.
5) Have you forgotten about the $50 $125 for signing up?

If you're still not convinced, email LetsRun.com's Weldon Johnson about ING and ask him a question. He's a huge fan. Or you can read his review of ING from three years ago.
Fair Disclosure: LetsRun.com gets a referral fee if you sign up for an ING product. But Wejo was a customer way before he got a referral fee.
