When the Dutch government bailed out ING Direct's Netherlands-based parent ownership group during the global financial crisis of 2008-09, it stipulated they would have to sell off their Canadian holdings, which Scotiabank bought last year. Under terms of this sale Scotiabank agreed to replace the ING name after a grace period and today announced that the new name will be Tangerine, effective Spring 2014.

If you happen to have an ING chequing account and cheques with ING branding, I was just on the phone with one of their service reps and he assures me such cheques will still be valid beyond the rebranding phase-in as only the numbering along the bottom constitutes the identifying information of the cheque. So no need to pay for new ones until you run out if you still have a tonne of old ones left.

So they named it after a fruit? Next thing you know, they will be naming computers after fruits too.......oh wait.

"Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I'll tell you something my lad. When you're walking home tonight and some homicidal banker comes after you with a bunch of tangerines, don't come crying to me!"

I get the Apple but Tangerine for a bank? Different.
