- Sort Bill Pay History ? Sort payments and bills by biller name, category, amount, debit date, pay date and status.

If you log into your ING account, you’ll notice it looks a little different — while the interface is mostly the same, they’ve spruced up the look and feel of the site.
They’ve got four demos to show how to use the new features: bill pay, ebills, add a biller, interactive bill pay.
