As of a few days ago, a few Amazon accounts started asking for bank information at the charge card page of registration. It will probably be the norm shortly.
Wonder where this is going

interesting - where do you think this is going?
Are the bank info being required to set up an account do you mean or just given the option to do so..?
This banking information - is it verified instantly the same way paypal does it? Never dealt with Amazon so Im curious if the same VBAs that work for paypal will work for this purpose as well.
With a VBA, how do you actually get your funds out?
VBAs are you used just to verify the account, not to withdraw.

So far no verification, just need to input bank details

You would still have to add your real bank account to get funds out. A VBA just lets you make sure that you have created the account correctly without burning a real bank account
It is going to make opening Amazon accounts pretty tricky for people who don't want to risk adding their own bank accounts right at the start given how hard it is to get the very few EU/UK VBAs that exist
VCC are pretty hard to find as it is and now this. Its going to be interesting to see what happens long term
VBA now required on initial registration
