ING DIRECT is opening a Café in Waikiki soon.
Have you heard about ingdirect.com? It's an online banking and lending business that offers "not your ordinary mortgage". They do residential loans and refinancing, without loan origination fees or points.
- NO fees
- NO minimums
- NO catches
Their business model consists of a coffee shop atmosphere, where consumers can sit and have a cup of coffee while doing their banking. ING DIRECT is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware with innovative ING DIRECT Cafés in multiple locations across the U.S. where you can experience what Electric Orange is all about! They have Cafés for their stores.... LA, Chicago, New York, St. Cloud.
I talked with a customer service rep today who told me they are opening a Cafe in Waikiki this month. I think this will be good news for Hawaii home buyers who want to save some money on a home loan. They also encourage bi-weekly payments for no extra charge. Here in Hawaii, with the high price of housing, we can use all the help we can get.
Call these guys to talk about your loan, and once you are pre-approved, give me a call to find the right Maui home for you.

ING also offers wholesale loans direct to mortgage brokers. Lately ING wholesale has been under scrutiny for allowing their retail division to solicit clients which brokers had submitted through their wholesale channel. Not a great business model IMO.
