I also have both SB and ING accounts, but I'm actually hoping they continue to keep them operating separate (at least on the consumers end). I happen to really like both interfaces - INGs is simple for a simple product (savings). SB naturally must be more involved as generally speaking its a more complex product (many different stocks and funds, purchase price vs. current price, etc.) and there is also some necessity to provide some level of research and data.

I'm thinking about using it as my "primary account" b/c of the interest I earn, the ease-of-use, etc. The ONLY reason I haven't made a total "shift" to my Orange account is the fact that they don't have local branches...

I also have accounts with ING and Sharebuilder, though I have stopped using the Sharebuilder account because I just don't have enough money to invest to overcome the transaction fees. It will be interesting to see what develops. I'm not sold yet on where I want to do my banking, I have accounts with ING, Schwab, and WellsFargo right now. Are you using the Orange account as your primary checking account? I just received that notice too.
