ING Direct is coming to Waikiki
After seeing Local Motion for so long at 1958 Kalakaua Avenue a bank would seem like an unlikely tenant for the location, but with so many local banks serving our ohana a mainland bank seems like a great fit for Waikiki and its visitors. ING Direct is not your typical financial institution, inspiring savings and a café environment as well. Who knows what the future holds for ING Direct and Hawaii. The only position open on their website right now is for a Café Sales Associate, but if you go on their website it will give you more details on the position.
The introduction of a new financial institution here in the islands with the brand recognition of ING direct will attract not only new customers, but employees from other banks looking for a fresh change. Cleo Brown a veteran financial executive will head Hawaii operations and lead ING Directs internet café and direct banking in Hawaii. Brown also mentions in a recent article in the Honolulu Advertiser that ING Direct already has more than 20,000 customers here.
They even have a video on their website. Check it out.
