Is ING A Safe Bank In 2012?

From TheStreet

In the wake of the Federal Reserve's public hearings on Capital One's (COF_) pending acquisition of ING Direct (USA) from ING Groep (ING_), many consumers are wondering if ING Bank, FSB -- which represents nearly all of ING's U.S. banking business -- is a safe place to put their money.

Yes it is. And Capital One is also a safe place for deposits, and a good bet for investors, for that matter.

They may be safe, but their deposit rates could be more friendly for depositors.
