Shawn Parr has some more information on the status of NetBank accounts that were taken over by ING Direct after NetBank’s shutdown. Apparently a customer service rep for ING indicated that online bill payment via OFX will stop working at some point.
As of yesterday (7 October) I was able to submit bill payments using Moneydance through my formerly-NetBank account, so this policy apparently hasn’t yet taken effect.

(its good that it works for the time being though! I like being paid.)

Also according to one of our forum users, Louis, (link) Lasalle, one of the few other banks with free online bill pay via ofx is being gobbled up by BofA!

I’m being told that ING will not offer direct connect, will not carryover existing bill pays scheduled for after 12/7 and will not carryover vendor information. They seem to be determined to drive us away.
I’m moving to a regional bank that offers direct connect and free bill pay. I understand Chase does also nationwide. They offered $100 for a new account if I had direct deposit, which I don’t. I’m sure there are others. Curious that ING

I’ve just found out the hard way that ING Direct also doesn’t support international wire transfers. Ouch.

I opened a checking account with a local bank to replace the Netbank one. The money from my CD’s went out to another online savings bank. I wouldn’t touch ING with a 10 foot pole.
