How to Set Up Sub-accounts on ING

If you are using ING Direct’s high yield savings account you may have seen people mentioning having sub-accounts setup in their ING account. This can be helpful if you have one savings account but you want to allocated it for different things like a vacation fund, a Christmas fund or a new car fund.

Setting up sub-accounts on ING is actually a pretty simple process.

Just log into your ING account. Click on the button to open a new account and select “savings account.” Give it a name, like “new car fund,” and fund the account using your existing ING account or linked checking account. Once the account is funded, you will be able to see it under “My Accounts.”

If you want to change the name of the sub-account just click “change nickname” while viewing the ING sub-account.
