I’ve had a Sharebuilder account with ING since before Sharebuilder was acquired by ING – and I’ve been very satisfied. It’s only gotten better since the ING acquisition.

Recently, I received an email offer for 5 Free trades when you open a Rollover IRA account.

If you’re looking to Rollover your 401K retirement account to an IRA, check them out. Here’s the link:

https://www.sharebuilder.com/sharebuilder/promotions/default.aspx?promocode=IRAROLLOVER%2f

Or you can enter IRAROLLOVER in the promo code field.

Here are the limitations and details:

ShareBuilder IRA

* No account fees or minimums
* Over 250 no-load mutual funds now available
* Get 5 free trades to get started

“Open an IRA account to receive 5 real-time trade credits. The trade credits will be posted to your account the next business day and will expire on 03/31/10. This offer is not valid with any other offer and only applies to IRA accounts.”

I’m not sure Roth IRAs are included in the deal, though I suspect they aren’t since that’s not a simple rollover due to the change in tax treatments between a Roth and traditional IRA account.
