Mostly not true
Not sure about ATM withdrawels, but they do not charge for transferring cash from the online savings account to your linked checking account (in my case BoA)
Also, although the ING accout promotion lasts until mId-april, it will probably go down to a mediocre 4% or less
even before this 4.8% promotion HSBC were giving 4.25%
