I've had savings account with ING for a while now but I decided to go back to banking with SmartyPig.com I know it's a funny name but they are paying 1% versus .75 at ING. I like them because it allows you to set-up goals and save towards them. Once you have reached your goal, you just transfer funds to an existing linked account or you can even put it on a gift card where you receive an additional % as a bonus. The accounts that I currently have at ING is for new car fund, travel and my emergency fund which I will now move over. I might add a goal for Christmas and other yearly expenses like property taxes, etc..
Earning .25% more may not seem like much but I'll take it!

I also know that you don't have to fund monthly if you don't want to. You can deposit funds once or whenever you want.
