Re: free virtual bank account
Ally Bank and Alliant Credit Union are two banks you can open accounts with online with a U.S. passport. They send you the free debit cards and account activation details by postal mail.
Alliant Credit Union accounts can be opened without being a member of the qualifying eligible communities or employers if you keep selecting "Another way to Qualify" at the bottom of the form when prompted, and then you agree to donate $5 of your savings balance to the named charity.
I have been using both banks for some time now without problem. I did link Alliant to PayPal (my actual, genuine PayPal account). However, I cannot confirm whether they would accept deposits in another name, such as would be tried with a stealth account. I have read that Ally Bank may not be a good choice for use with PayPal, though I cannot confirm that.
